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.

Does this mean that 116600 will be discontinued?
It's already discontinued and removed from the Rolex website. I thought of collecting the D-Blue as it was supposed to be stopped, but it's still featured on the site. 116600 is now an instant classic :thumbsup:

Good thing you still hold on to your 116600. It was in production for only 3 years? 2014-2017, meaning the quantity will be lesser. Pls correct me if i'm wrong.
Most have anticipated D-Blue to be stopped as far back as 2014 but it is still in production till now.

Less 1 customer for SD, the 43mm is too big for me :( Any idea how tall is it ?Should be as tall as DSSD.
Post by: Cocas on March 24, 2017, 11:25:14 AM
The Grand Seiko too.

Disappointed with the inclusion of cyclops on SD.
Same here... they really bastardized the SD :-(

what about 116660 DSSD D-Blue? discontinued or still in supply ?https://www.rolex.com/watches/sea-dweller.html
still in production
Post by: J.Tan on March 29, 2017, 12:08:42 PM
116600 is definitely a classic IMO.
43mm captures the gap where some find 44mm on DSSD is too huge and heavy. 126600 is gonna be an eye catch. Matter of the actual market price. Likely to be higher premium than DSSD D-Blue I guess..
Sky Dweller SS is a good move.
Post by: theseira on March 29, 2017, 01:13:47 PM
They could never top their 2016 Rolex Daytona 116500LN this year. So why not destroy the SD. Lol
Yea your right. How can Rolex top SS Daytona C? I don't see any solution to this.
