FreeLitres said: Do you have a link to the exact watch? Have they sold out? I see, yes, looks like Creation have sold out. If you do a web search for SNZH55K1 which is the model number, a few websites pop up, including ebay and Amazon, but a quick look suggests prices have risen.

1941 Jaeger-LeCoultre  All original and untouched - right down to the celluloid crystal which has yellowed but in a way that enhances the patina of the dial and hands....I love this watch.

Got this back out for the first time in ages, an old gold Sub...  (yep, too lazy to change the date as it's a 'non-quick')

Personally I'd have no problem in buying a watch with one and removing the cyclops, but I'd just replace it with a flat sapphire and keep the original.

That said, my favourite Rolex is the Milgauss.

I've never seen any mention of anyone cocking it up (not that I'm suggesting it's impossible), but I wouldn't be worried about doing it. It's a better solution than the bloody cyclops anyway!

Don't normally go for that kind of look, it's not particularly subtle, and I don't know if I'd have the balls to wear it, but still....
