Very nice color combination, looks 'sporty'

Any idea about pricing?

The new pelagos price will be USD4400, slightly higher than the ETA version , I think this will be selling like hot cake.

Pleasant surprise with regards to the Pelagos- new in-house movement, COSC and only RM1k dearer than the Tudor-modified ETA Pelagos. Sounds like Pelagos would be getting even more popular after this. Blue and black choices- nice! The wordings on the dial increasing from 2-liner to 5-liner, seemed a tad busy though... Still a good effort from Tudor!  :thumbsup:

I told myself I'll never get into Rolex, not really a fan of all the dive watches.

Until I saw this...



This may just change my mind...

That Grey dial Oyster Perpetual seems to be gaining steam.
I think it's a great entry level Rolex.
At 5400chf... if not because of the lousy myr at the moment, it would be awesome.
The colour combos of the new Oyster Perpetuals are fresh and cool.

One rumour- it will be something to do with rubber strap?   there's a recent patent filed by Rolex on this

Its the new OysterFlex rubber strap.

The rubber strap you see on the YM posted by Chrisyen, its not a normal strap. Its an Oysterflex.

Oysterflex is essentially an elastomer rubber strap with metal links embedded inside like a backbone to the strap, hence giving the secure and solid feel of a metal bracelet but with the added waterproofness of a rubber strap. Comes with a oysterlock clasp.

i.e something like reinforced rubber strap in my opinion.

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual above looks very good!

One of my biggest fav this year looks to be the new Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra for the new Bond film Spectre. Love the mix of yellow on blue dial with Bond coat of arm. Apparently the rotor is in the shape of Bond's gun barrel.
