Lovely clear photo, you can really see the detail in the linen (?) face.
Hope your Rolex isn't feeling too hurt by all the anti-cyclops comments on a certain other thread

That's a really interesting looking watch Aifo, plenty of complications so I guess very useful.
I had to laugh though at the "day" and "date" labels, just in case the user doesn't know what they were for

It's strange I am the total opposite if it's a Rolex with a date then it has to have a cyclops I looked at a Tudor day date which did not have a cyclops and for me that spoiled it completely.
But that is why we are all different and there are so many different types of watches on our wrists.

Tyneham on recently acquired Super Oyster
Bracelet tapers from 22mm lugs to 18mm, with the clasp being 20mm. Very good proportions that suit the Tyneham well.

The date window on my wife's Tudor is so small it took her about 6 months to realise there was a date window. She has since claimed my DJ as hers and thinks the cyclops is a marvellous invention!
