Dear Rolex

Could we get this in SS this year with no jewels?



Sincerely,

Interested parties

This one pictured doesn't have the 200m print on the dial. I never noticed that before

So is it even waterproof? I need to know! Because if they make this in SS, without the jewels, but it's not waterproof; are you still a buyer?

Yeah I could see the forum collapsing and in on itself in a singularity-esque implosion if that dial was ever married to an SS Sub case and Oyster bracelet.

Now is a bad time with so much hype around, they should wait till the market turns for this one to help rejuvenate their market.

The little bit of text on it that says 'oyster', that's confirmation it's waterproof.
(there are other signs on it, like the three dots on the crown confirms it's triple lock water tight)

I guess they don't expect it to go fishing so they kept the swimming text off the dial.

I want one of these in SS without the bling nonsense. I'm going to put myself on the list at my AD for one ahead of the game for Basel.
