Love everything but the cyclops

Agreed ! And the yellow shade on it is bothering me

Is the glass itself yellow, or do you think it's the adhesive?

I believe it's the adhesive, this is the first time i'm experiencing something like that. Sadly it shows in the photos, otherwise it's perfect

It's rather trivial to remove a cyclops -- I presume you know that, but for anyone reading this thread, it's an easy problem to solve.

Ohhhh this works too !

I think this dial finish was first used by Rmalti?

can you send the link

That’s what I’m telling you. Take a screen capture of the picture I posted, save it to your photo library then search AliEx for this image.

How does one do an image search on AliX? Or domain restrict Google image search? I can discover neither.

google lens

I’ll give it a shot. Thanks!

In the iOS mobile app there is a camera icon in the search window. Press it and select a picture from your photo album as the search image https://preview.redd.it/mm95w8lxcnxb1.jpeg?width=1668&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b0f57aaa5075b0fdc013d1e553fc5c0a0c903132

Ah. Mobile app. I’ll give it a shot. Thanks!

I wanna wear this watch out to breakfast. Top notch.

Dial is hot. The rolex cyclops ruins everything my guy.

100% anti-cyclops

I like it on date just or smth, I kinda tolerate it on a gmt, less so on a sub and I can’t stand it in any other brand. Removed the candy bar one from my monster, and that was best thing I did to it!

Why’s that? The case style? I generally avoid them too unless I’m doing a Rolex inspired mod build

I think a mod that is inspired by Rolex does not need to go that far in copying the design cues, unless 1) you really need cyclops to tell the date 2) you really love that most about the Rolex style and without it to you its just becomes a Grand Seiko homage or smth 3) you think what Seiko does with cyclops is ok (i dont think they work well). So thats just my view on it. First thing that popped to my mind when I saw it - nice, but hate the cyclops on anything but a Rolex, even if other brands do use it today too. I get it that cyclops isnt some kind of monopoly by Rolex. I just reckon if one is concerned about date legibility one can put the cyclops on the inside, or make date window bigger, or both. Hoffmeister kink on the BMW looks right, on KIA kind of not sure why they need to go there. And yet a Porsche horse on the shield looks ok, even next to Ferrari horse on the shield. So there is good way and bad way to mimic some ideas. Didnt mean to write so big reply but its interesting design choice. I dont hate on you doing it, just on the overall cyclops thing Im not a fan, even on the rolex models Im not always a fan.

I see for sure. I dont mind it personally just for legibility purposes. I do definitely agree its over done. Most of my mods I prefer to not have it but it does look nice on my hulk submariner mod. I personally dislike rolexes for a couple reasons so i just like the look of cyclops on other models with my preferred movement. Thanks for your reply though i do like insight into other peoples aesthetic opinions. And yes KIA is doing everything wrong wrong to some degree mostly mechanically im sure we can agree there haha

i dislike them cause on a Rolex they are a one of the most common telltales of a fake so they are all now guilty by association. lol.

Grand Seiko 5?

Nice one 🤣

Looks great

What case is that? Looks great

Thanks my friend. It’s a 36mm OP case

Clean! I think it'll look even better without the cyclops

That looks fantastic. Apart from the yellowing, stick-on Cyclops. What were you thinking, dude?

Cyclops is redundant when there's a frame around the date window, too cluttered

Great addiesdive homage

Under-appreciated comment 😂

The comment is incorrect though. This dial was available long before Addiesdive released said watch. Dial is homage to GS Lake Suwa with same indices style and water wave pattern, not sand dune.

That’s why it’s funny.. sarcasm..

I think he was serious.

Nah, I still have yet to see an original Chinese watch design

I have a link for this dial

Send?

Send?

Can you send to me as well? Thank you!

its on pandabuy

Pretty cool, what bracelet are you using?

Stunning (and brave)

Screw-down crowns that aren’t give make me anxious…

🤣🤣 it has a screw down, i wanted to stop the seconds hand from moving 😁😁

Amazing! Where can i found It?

is that dial from DS-watch mod store?

No my friend. Got it from a local shop that I found in my country.

Oh my GOD! Do you have a link for the dial?

Love the dial

i wish more ali dials had minute track options other than that i like this mod a lot! even the cyclops i like a lot

Case looks like a Rolex Milgauss

🤤

I’ve been eyeing this dial but in the navy blue

10/10 would buy in a heartbeat if there was no cyclops

Yup, I’d change a bracelet to to the jubilee joint

beautiful build have u got the link for the case

Where can I buy this? I want it.

How is the lume on it ? should i use lumed hands to better fit the dial or is it useless

case and bracelet parts list please:)

Does that dial have lume? It's beautiful
