I'm glad they did not discontinue the LV, but I wish they kept the dial black. I hope there is more to come, like a new Explorer II.

The Exp looks much better in this pic than it does in the actual photos posted so far... O hope it looks this good in real life.

Long live the Explorer I!

I think the subs are great. The green is probably one of those things you need to see in person to appreciate. Go supercase!

Well 1/3 right isn't too bad i guess. Nice to see they've kept the Black sub plain 'n' simple as much as they could. The Explorer is a good idea but let down by the details i think.

The winners: Black Sub is just perfect. The Explorer also.

The loser: The green Sub... hm. Agree with the people who wants the black dial, and green ceramic bezel.

Overall some good moves from Rolex. No PCL, and no oversize, and no busy dials (a la DSSD) that was the most important things for me.

That does look like the MILGAUSS sized casing...
And see the "tiny winding thingy" like for a DJ...
Culd be a DJ II casing (are the Milly/DJ casings the same?)...
