Seems like this year Basel 2017 watches are aiming for becoming bigger in size and taller in height.

The Grand Seiko too.

Looks like it's reversing current trend of making forgiving size and moving back to bigger ones

They could never top their 2016 Rolex Daytona 116500LN this year. So why not destroy the SD. Lol

Sea dweller at 43mm and with cyclops :(.  I think I preferred the previous Sea dweller.

I was told 126600 priced at USD 11,000 during the launch. For sure this cannibalizes 116660 DSSD where it was reported poor sales record.
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.

Yea your right. How can Rolex top SS Daytona C?  I don't see any solution to this.
