Just saw the BLNR, BBB, SDc

Sorry, no pics. I broke my cell phone camera.

BLNR was pretty much what I expected. A blue IIc. No shocker here. The sales lady was shocked I didn't want to just buy it. Said they just got it in that day. I don't really have an interest (its a great watch, just not for me).

They also had both Black Bays, red and blue. I wasn't impressed with the blue pictures online, but it really looks better in person than online. I was tempted, but know it will only look good on the bracelet or a nato. I think it would be hard to look good on a leather strap. Kinda surprised it was just sitting there. Thought it was "hot" item.

Then I saw it....the SDc. Wow, Rolex NAILED it. I really don't get how the SDc is "smaller" than the SubC. I feel like the cases should be switched. I really like the thinner lugs on the SDc and the graduations all the way around the bezel looked very nice. They really don't stand out like they do in pics online. The watch is awesome, but I really feel the price is a bit crazy. $10,400.

Just thought I'd put these thoughts out there for anyone considering the BBB or SDc. Basically, you need to see it in the metal to make any judgement.

Mik,

I feel like I'd like the SDC. Matte dials / Maxi-plots I like... However, I am enjoying my F Serial 16600 so much, for 1/2 the price. Can't do it.

I'm with you Bill. Of the ceramic bezel watches though, this feels the most balanced to me.
