Itchy trigger finger!
Having purchased two Basel releases in the last three years (SD and Daytona), and recently ordered a Royal Oak, I was somewhat relieved that nothing tempted me at Basel this year, the bank balance needs to recover!
But...that damn Sea Dweller is growing on me in a big way!! I think 40mm is the limit for my wrists in truth, but the new SD looks so brilliantly chunky that I can't ignore it!! The bezel looks slightly wider, the edge grooves appear deeper, and the cyclops all combine to make this watch look fantastic. Time to think hard!! And not sure I can ignore the gold Daytona with Oysterflex bracelet either!!

Basel certainly seems to tempt me annually too, I have my eye on three pieces.

I know the feeling! Will have to see that seadweller in person first though. I'm far from sold.

Same here - would really like to see this before going any further with it. I picked up the SD4000 when it came out a couple of years back but flipped it as I could not get use to it despite already having an SD16600. The SD4000 just seemed too chunky and flash, and being slightly bigger, the new red Seadweller might feel the same? Hope not though!
