During my younger days, watches with Cyclops lens were always assumed /or thought to be as Rolexes. Then, only a handful few watches come along with the Cyclops. These Cyclops lens represent an unique way at reading the date.
Those days, I am one of the wannabes - who wanted a real Rolex but could not afford one. So, I bought myself the nearest look alike watch - the Titoni, ComosKing which comes completely with look & Cyclops. In my primitive mind set, any watch that comes along with these lenses - would look grand like a Rolex.
In my country (Malaysia), Rolex owners proudly but discreetly display their time pieces at any given opportunities. From a distance, many (people) would recognize their Rolexes - thanks to the reflective glare emitting from the small but distinctively & unmistakably Cyclops lens. They can smell your Rolexes miles away. Take away the Cyclops, the very same people won't come near to you, and would reject the watch altogether. Air King doesn’t appeal to them. So do a Sea Dweller.
Innocently, they would ask "Is that a Rolex"? Why NO lens ah ?!!” Their comments, traditionally, Rolexes must comes together with Cyclops...without it...it’s NOT a Rolex.
Wearing a real Rolex, has that kind of feeling great, an achievement (but not proud), whereas, wearing an imitation would not have the same feeling as wearing the real thing!. Wearing a fake Rolex is after all...cheating on oneself. Just my 2 cents worth.
