Gasp.. thats quite... urmm... :o :o
-
All I can say is... this is not what alot of ppl have in mind when the name Sky Dweller was announced.
-
Dual time zone, annual calendar and month displayed at each hour by indicator.
For now...its UGLY !
Might change my mind as time goes by.
-
Interesting. I remember reading in a different forum how all the excitement will die down once the watch is displayed and how everyone will 'bitch' how 'fugly' the watch is. Well .........
-
I reckon compared to this, a day date or turn-o-graph is much better....
-
Any pics of this actually being called the Sky Dweller?

Erm... it's on the dial? hehehe ;D
-
Oh craps i am getting blind!
Blur eyes at office now....
-
I prefere the regular datejust than this fancy dial.
All i can compliment this skydweller is the size of the watch.Its quite big i assume from the picture.
And YEAH .. we have another SD ( Sky Dweller )
-
HAs a new movement though and the bezel is used to adjust the time?
-
Realised that how the annual calendar works... by the top square hour marker indicator... Haha...
I think when rolex made this move.. probably they want to make sure all that their rolexes is robust and functionally well than its design
Anyhow.. its still a ROLEX ..
-
Hi, its official on rolex.com. I like the sky dweller but its beyond me cos it comes in gold only.
Sub ceramic n new yatchmaster surely will dominate the watch shops. I like all the new models.
Rolex did it again! Congrats to them but bad for my pocket.
-
Its normal for Rolex to release it in precious metal and then a year later in SS.
-
Speechless and dunno how to describe "UGLY"
Still prefer the 41mm DateJust 2.
-
i was expecting something fresh and yet subtle...
this looks like Mr Yatchmaster getting married to Ms Datejust...
oh wait...its the Yatchjust... ;D
well, at least they didn't reissue anything...
-
is this really it? I was expecting an aviator style watch...this reminds me of a yachtmaster II somehow...
-

Yup... seems like this is really it... ;D
I was right that the Yachtmaster did get updated.
New Submariner is all the rage... who cares about the others... lol
-
Thanks master takashi. I really like the skydweller from the video clips. If it comes in
S/s, it will be a hit, i think. I hope it wont be oversized for asians. Just have to wait till next
year.
-
if only it had a DAY indicator as well.. why did Rolex choose to leave that out?
-
Come look at this video

-
Is Sky Dweller presently the model with most complication in the Rolex line up?
-
What an 'uncle' watch! :thumbsdown:

-
The way the watch is operated is quite innovative
-
I kinda like it..... But the downside is no lume....
Well i guess it is more to a dress watch...
-
i like it too.... cool way of using the bezel.
now just for future dial and colour variations that would suit my fancy. just wishing that they might come in S/S too in the future.
-
on the hindsight.. the new YM and Sub looks cool :thumbsup:
now lets see if the preowned prices of our humble 14060 would rise like the 16610 :laugh:
looks like the 4 lined 14060M would be in production the least. so anyone rushing to buy the rehaut 14060M :laugh:?

So the 4 lines 14060M becomes the most short-lived sub huh?
-
so disappointed!!!
-

It is the most short lived modern Submariner.
6204 1953-1955
6205 1953-1957 (some books 1953-1955)
6536 small crown 1955-1958
6538 large crown 1955-1958
6536-1 chronometer 1957-1961
6538 chronometer 1957-1961
5508 1958-1959 (some books 1958-1965)
5510 1958-1959 (some books 1958-1965)
5512 COSC 1959-1978 (some books 1959-1970)
5513 1962-1990 (some books 1962-1989)
14060 1989-1999
14060M 1999-2007 (aka 2 line)
14060M COSC 2007-2012 (aka 4 line)
The 14060M COSC is the only other COSC Submariner since the 5512. Its 5 years life span makes it the shortest lived modern Submariner, followed by the 14060M at 6 years.
The chart does not include the COMEX and military issued Submariners, reference 5514 and 5517.

Agree with others , it look like yatchmaster "sky" version? I like e design elegance + little sporty
-
should have just call it sky-master :angel:
sky-dweller not as sporty i expect , in my mind something in the breitling territory ::)
unless is a rolex marketing strategy preparing for a sky-dweller 2 ::)
like a explorer 1 & 2
gmt master 2 kinda thing
when they use name dweller i was expecting a deep sea + gmt-master 2 = well maybe
a deep sky dweller in 2013 :Laughing_on_floor:

Omg, really kena con by the name....
-
I think the person who designed this Sky-Dweller must have been really up among the clouds.
-
.....but apparently there are lots of technical advancements. See write-up in Timezone.com:

Yes, this feature caught my attention too. Now Rolex finally has caught up with Grand Seiko. ;D Anyway, we can b$@*& about this "Penduduk Langit" as much as we like, but if you go through the sites to check the price, I am sure it's going to cost a nuclear bomb. Hmmmm.......maybe I should settle for a watch with more features and cost less, like this.....

One word...starts with a U and ends with a Y
Not my cup of tea...
Soemthing is wrong with the dials..looks too busy..and lack of purpose.
But then again..one man's meat is another man's poison.. :Cheers:

with advertisements like these..you can almost hear the Asian billionaires or tycoons calling up their AD now.... ;D
-
These super rich sportsmen (Tiger wood included) were paid for advertising the watch and get it for free. We, on the other hand, who are not rich or so rich has to pay for it. The rich just get richer :'(

I prefer this commercial...

A Rolex is a Rolex.....even at death, your family and friends will be wondering who's going to get it. It'll still go on beating long after you're dead :Laughing_on_floor:
-
there might be alot of member don like when 1st look on it. bt some watch really need time to digest and accept it. just like my 1st impression to Pam, wat a stupid big watch but end up die of the poison.....
the prob for this sky dweller mainly is too pricy for me. with the same price i think i will go for something else ;D
-
I agree w master terence n gloomis. Rolex has a full team of highly talented ppl to come up w the new range. I think over time, ppl will like it though many may not afford or ve willing to pay for it.
I think in gold( white or yellow), it be stunning. I like it.

Not really, the 14060M it will go on for only about 50 hours (maximum) after you are dead and motionless. If it still goes on beating after that, then someone else (hopefully your rightful heir) is wearing it. I remember watching a documentary on Josef Mengele (that nut case Nazi doctor) who died in South America. His watch (not a rolex, but a seiko) is kept in some government / police archive and it still runs.

Tiger also upgraded to Rolex? Used to be with TH.

Any longer, you will need one of those IWC babies.

but with sky dweller...you got another extra 26 hours ;D ;D

50 hours is all you need before everything oozes out from the anus and stomoach becomes bloated like a Michelin man :Laughing_on_floor:

Ohhhh.....please don't soil my Non-Date Sub!!!!! It's water-resistant to 300m but I don't remember Rolex claiming it's resistant to dead-man's juice. It'll kill off its resale value!!! :Startled:
-
........but then I am sure the Sky-Dweller will amass its own fan club very soon... :Cheers:

everyone thought the new BMW looked terrible and preferred the E34 and E46 looks...
some looks just takes time to grow on the buyer so don't laugh at the SKY-D now.

maybe with a black dial and green sapphire then PVD it
we might have a winner here :Cheers:
-
On first impression, the dial doesn't cut it for me. :thumbsdown: Fluted bezel with such a dial design? ??? I must admit however that the movement is something to be welcomed.
Anyway, Rolex being Rolex, I'm sure it's gonna be snatched up like goreng pisang panas once it's on sale. ::)
-
i can't say this is the ugliest watch i've ever seen but i can surely say it's the ugliest ROLEX.dammn rolex what were you thinking! :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown:

I have always loved this guy for his honest in-your-face answers. :thumbsup: He's got a point (two possibly) about the Sky-Dweller too ...
