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....

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 )

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.

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...

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.

Is Sky Dweller presently the model with most complication in the Rolex line up?
