Not sure yet. The cyclops on the SD is a hard thing to stomach. Heard it called "SubDweller" and there won't be a more accurate name coined.

Single red SD was pretty nice minus the cyclops and the increase in size

I am thrilled. The only new watch that I liked was the SeaDweller and it looks too big for my 7" wrist.

My bank account is safe.

I was disappointed for the Seadweller. Did not expect a steel Skydweller

yes. happy and what i expected.
There was always going to be a SD 50th anniversary, no way rolex would miss the opportunity to produce a new one.
Date just 41 SS with jubilee and fluted bezel is what i was hoping for.
SS sky dweller is a winner,
and Cellini moon phase is very interesting.

successful Basel for rolex as far as i can see.

As a poor man with a growing passion for expensive watches, I like it when those expensive watches become closer to my reach... so close yet so far away... but a bit closer! :)

Basel has little to do with my happiness, fwiw. Happy with SKD, SD, and Tudor BBD.

Omega's triple threat beat all of Rolex's offerings.

Steel Sky is nice, though.

After some thought, I don't think this year was a complete bust for Rolex. The Yachtmaster "Pat Sajak" is pretty sweet.

I think Rolex hit a home run this year. The SeaDweller is now my new grail!
