Well said ...... I agree!

Sky Dweller - badass in my book!

rkim11 · 16 March 2012, 11:50 PM

Is it me or do the lugs on all but the Sub look like theyre now in between the classic and new case lugs in size? Or are my eyes playing tricks on me..?

kaenmorte · 13 April 2012, 04:07 PM

Thank's for pics.

212kid · 7 June 2012, 03:35 AM

Thanks for the info

The Sky Dweller in Everose . . . looks ok
The zebra DJ's . . . . oh my god . . . no go !
The Daytona's . . . . never ever
The DJ Ladies . . . . got to get used to the new bezel
The Day Date 36 mm Everose . . . Love it !
The Daydate II Everose . . . . . . . . Love this one to

But now if we can see them in real life it will be different.
I hope . . . ;-)

DJ2 is bigger than the milgauss

2th Dr · 8 March 2012, 12:34 AM

Thanks Anders!

My opinion? Meh.

c-dub · 8 March 2012, 12:39 AM

Did they discontinue the Milgauss?

This one gets my vote. The blue dial looks really good...

Definitely. I bet that blue looks stunning under natural light.

Yes this is a good one too, but would have to have in my hands for the final word.

I understand that it is super-cased with a new clasp and a solid platinum bezel.

Thank you for sharing

same

in pics, it's this year's winner

p_mcgee · 8 March 2012, 12:43 AM

I like the smooth bezel DJII
ND Sub - nice but I guess I don't understand the cult following of this one relative to the SubC
the rest, not for me...not much of a fluted or blinged out bezel guy

Gharddog03 · 8 March 2012, 12:45 AM

Thanks

The verdict:

- Nice update to the Sub. That will be a huge seller.

- The 41mm Datejust looks rather good, I still think the hour sticks are a bit too big relative to the width of the hands.

- The Sky-Dweller... What is that? Breitling meets Rolex? Way too busy dial, mainly because the choice of Roman or Arabic numerals, perhaps sticks would have worked better?

- Blue dial Yacht Master looks decent, not my favorite model.

- The rest I couldn't care less about.

This is the beginning of the end of Rolex ... That's the best they can do? I guess they decided to be a jewelry company... Thank god I got mine when I did...

Maybe just a tiny bit moelodramatic

They still make lots of beautiful timepieces for us to lust after even without these updates/new releases

I like the SkyDweller, not that I could afford it unless it was SS

Thanks for the effort Anders in getting this up for us all

Scotes · 8 March 2012, 01:01 AM

Wow. Thanks for the photos. It looks like a bunch of watches just got beat with the ugly stick. There's some nice in there but I'm just not a fan of the extreme bling with all the jewels. And the Sky-Dweller? Meh. Maybe it'll play better in person but it just looks too busy; even worse so than Omega's new AT GMT.

Puffy · 8 March 2012, 01:03 AM

This would look hot

don't know if it would still be a "YM", but, the blue center balances better with the black bezel over the platinum bezel (at least per the pix i've seen).

agreed on the no-date....

not a YM, but, i think it would be great as a GMTIIc (date or no date)....just swap the bezel for GMTIIc, keep the red hand and text, and keep the brushed bracelet....= a winner!
