QUOTE(Apple_DarreN @ Aug 5 2016, 05:46 PM) Old vs new is understandable as the old rollies are really work watches and people actually dive with them (akhem, x macam desk-diver kita skrang) The problem is now that since Rolex knows about this problem and yet provides free service to change them, why won't they remove them from ADs before selling them? The first sub tt from the picture i posted look just like an awful fake lol yea, makes u wonder who does the QC now...or perhaps cyclops are manufactured elsewhere and they have too much trust in them... i guess the vintage ones had higher mag cos they were made from plexi...to me thats how the cyclops has been ingrained into my mind...that distorted high mag view.

The higher mag also looks better with the older font type. Don't think it would today, imo. Wing Wah's prices have been inflated a lot lah. I stopped bothering to swing by when they quoted my gf RM80 for a battery change LOL. I thought about changing from zero to 590, but will see how that goes... PAM market prices have indeed taken a hit, so from one low to another  Earlier today, still with the LLD. Really liking the isofrane; super comfy. But, where's the vanilla scent everyone is raving about??

Honestly, on mine, it is very very faint. You'd miss it at first sniff. Like, you'd need to SNIIIIIFFFFFFFFFF to get a whiff of vanilla. I had to do this behind closed doors, else people can hear.
