I also have an Oyster Perpetual, or to be strictly speaking an Oyster Prepetual, as that’s what it says on the dial. I don’t know if the mis-spelling was an accident or some sort of subtle way of dodging copyright.

If they were trying to dodge copyright (patent in this case), they wouldn’t be making these thing in the first place. It’s incompetence, or a misunderstanding of how patent infringement works.

I solved that by buying a (vintage) non-date Sub.

(FWIW, the lens is called a ‘Cyclops’.)

And how does that solve the problem of reading the date?

There’s no date!
