Lange & Söhne – and answer the big question: Does a true large date mean the end for the iconic Cyclops cyclops lens? In this video, you'll learn how Rolex plans to eliminate the unsightly gap between the two date discs, why the left disc moves when changing the date, and which Rolex models (1908, Land-Dweller, Datejust) could accommodate such a large date display. 👉 Let me know in the comments: Would you buy a Rolex with a large date display – and without a cyclops lens? ⌚ Thumbs up & subscribe for honest watch reviews and watchmaking insights from ChronoBros. ``` ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 – Rolex and a large date display?
