Nice Ron! I've always admired the gold Subs and that's a beauty. How's the cyclops magnification?  I've read that Rolex has subbed out the production of the crystals and cyclops and there seems to be some inconsistent maginifications hitting the store shelves. I've seen a few threads on other forums recently where the magnification seems to be weaker than the specified 2.5x. You only show a few shots square on and I can't quite tell if it is reaching that full 2.5x. |

It can be hard to tell in photos because if the angle is off just a bit, the magnification is less. Enjoy that beauty Ron! |

The watch is very accurate, it's running +3 seconds every 24 hours. I get my time signal from Fort Collins, Colorado via my shortwave radio. |

I just use a g-shock I've had for 9 years, which receives its time from the same location in Colorado.
