The New Rolex Sea Dweller
This was just released on the Rolex website.
What do you guys think? Here is the Youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/8R1ubtHT5-Y From the Rolex website: "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." Stats: Case Dia: 43mm Movement: 3235 |

DSSD and SDc discontinued - they're no longer on the Rolex site.

It is a winner but too large for me, now to track down a BNIB SDc!

looks good but the size is also a killer for me. I will still try it on when my AD gets one, who knows it may wear small.

Nice watch |

I guess this will make a lot of people happy, red font and larger size. The old SDC had very short production run for a modern reference.

Like the red font, lower profile bezel pearl, flush endlinks. But larger size and cyclops makes it a no buy for me.

The first picture looked like it had a bevelled case, but now I see it does not...
Not sure about a cyclops on this model though. Love the size. |

At 43mm this watch is unwearable for me.
It is simply huge. My dinero remains in the bank! Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

50/50. May end up as next watch. Wonder where they will price this? I'm guessing same as black faced DSSD.
