Don't worry about the cyclops, easily removable
Sure, but that would bring down the value of the watch as well if you want to flip it. You know how Rollie collectors are particular about its originality. I was so looking forward to the SDc red-liner and even told my AD to reserve a piece for me, weeks back when the pictures started making its round. A 40mm SD4k with red-liner, would have been closer to perfection. Sigh, the uprated 43mm size plus that cyclops have kind of bastardise the long history of SD. At RRP : £8,350 (circa RM46k) before GST for the new SDc, consumers deserved better. No wonder a reader from my blog wrote to me that he was waiting for the new SDc and after knowing about the "
upgrades", marched to the AD to grab the current SDc but it was no longer selling at the previous agreeable price as it was deemed a discontinued and classic piece now. So much for not charging a premium.
Having said that, the s/s Sky-Dweller at RRP : £10,600 (circa RM58k) before GST, certainly makes it more value-for-monies and attainable for the general public.
