I like it. Not real sure about the cyclops but it is a handsome watch. Like all new releases, I look forward to seeing them in the flesh and trying it on to make my final opinion. I have questions about why a cyclops on a Sea Dweller but so far I'm very happy that I own a 40mm SD4000 sans cyclops.

teo · 22 March 2017, 10:02 PM

Is that sea dweller 50th anniversary edition or regular production in future? Can someone answer?

gregmoeck · 22 March 2017, 10:03 PM

Now when you are diving you can check out the date instead of watching The reef

bsprtsgrp · 22 March 2017, 10:07 PM

They are calling it "THE SEA-DWELLER IS REVISITED FOR ITS 50TH ANNIVERSARY IN A BOLDER 43 MM CASE"

"Rolex is introducing the latest generation of its Oyster Perpetual Sea-Dweller, a legend among professional divers’ watches created 50 years ago in 1967. The new Sea-Dweller features a larger, 43 mm case and the new calibre 3235, at the forefront of watchmaking technology and employed for the first time in a Rolex Professional category watch. To enhance the reading of the date, it is equipped, also for the first time, with a Cyclops lens on the crystal at 3 o’clock. The dial bears the name Sea-Dweller in red, a reference to the first model".

I tried on a 44 DSSD and it was significant on my 8" wrist. Like a Tuna can.

DRKBC · 22 March 2017, 10:07 PM

Love the design cyclops included but the size rules it out for me and I have never been a hugh fan of the fully indexed bezel. Would have been amazing if it was a sub.

Exploradori · 22 March 2017, 10:07 PM

Hate it at 43mm. Why did a SD need a cyclops?

Rolex: do you want to see how an anniversary edition is done? Take a look at Omega this year. (Hint: exactly like the original!!!)

JLC Tribute to Polaris. That's how it's done.

Passion report nailed this one perfectly... I like that it has the new movement. Otherwise it doesn't do much for me...

Slippy Chips · 22 March 2017, 10:09 PM

I like it. I like the size too. I realize the history and whatnot but I'm a big guy and 43mm works well for me. I don't love the cyclops or the $11k+ price. Other than that I look forward to checking it out.

AK797 · 22 March 2017, 10:09 PM

42mm and no cyclops were what most of us were hoping for, damn they still don't hear right.

rph08 · 22 March 2017, 10:10 PM

My SD4K won't be going anywhere...Not terribly excited about anything I've seen from Rolex or Tudor.

Vetracer · 22 March 2017, 10:14 PM

Although I'm a collector, I wear what I buy and 43mm is too big for my 7 inch wrist. What's their rationale for making it this big? It is based on feedback from actual divers who need it to be more legible? 🤣

tommy91 · 22 March 2017, 10:14 PM

I just don't get why those chose 43mm?

Emreozcan · 22 March 2017, 10:19 PM

It will be what "red submariner" is today in future.

I love a bit of red on a face, something about it just grabs me. I don't care much for the rest. So glad I got my 116600 last year.

GB-man · 22 March 2017, 10:19 PM

Missing a huge opportunity to bring back the dome and slot it in at 42. I'm guessing this means the dssd is on its way out at some point?

I wonder how it wears.

WAK4 · 22 March 2017, 10:21 PM

If anyone wants an SD4K, last time I visited my AD, they had 2 in the case.

yannis · 22 March 2017, 10:22 PM

Wait is this just the DSSD case w/o the Ring Lock?

rushca01 · 22 March 2017, 10:23 PM

Hate it....like really don't like it all. Some will which is good for them but not the watch for me.

pop4 · 22 March 2017, 10:25 PM

Cyclops. On a freaking Sea-Dweller. Hell NO.

My next prediction is a lot of smaller wristed people asking if the new SD is too big on them. The answer will most likely be yes

collarcity · 22 March 2017, 10:24 PM

Too big. 43mm is a massive watch.
