Well, I for one am glad; my saving for a Milgauss can continue without ANY distraction!

So I guess I'll be the first to say.....I like it.

Oyster Junkie · 7 March 2012, 10:31 PM

WTF is that thing?

I see the future.....it will not sell and become rare due to the fact it is ugly and nobody buys it.

I stayed up for that?

At least the Sub-C ND looks ok.

The ym looks good in blue but still not exactly ground breaking innovation

capote · 7 March 2012, 10:34 PM

To sum it up: Rolex killed the Sub ND and introduced a weird looking watch that is neither here or there...sky dweller my a**

The actual photo of it looks better than the picture from the brochure. That being said I don't like it too much. First impressions:

-What's with the cut off 5,6,7 numerals?
-No steel version

+Looks like DJII 41mm case which is good
+I like having the 24h wheel that rotates instead of another hand
+Dark dial will look amazing

I think it will be one of those that look better in person.

I totally agreed.

thlax · 7 March 2012, 10:35 PM

i dont think the skyD is that bad almost a sporty DJ2? Im glad its not too similar to a SD or SUB or GMT

TSts · 7 March 2012, 10:36 PM

I love my GMTIIC even more now!

drockadam · 7 March 2012, 10:36 PM

Hmm. I don't mind it, it'll look better in person!

Rob_b · 7 March 2012, 10:37 PM

Hmmmmm.......... Today's flop is tomorrows classic maybe

I'll give it time. I've disliked new model cars, only to love them in years to come......

Perhaps this is the same.....

seand442 · 7 March 2012, 10:40 PM

I'm kinda liking that YM with the blue dial. The sky-dweller is just a train wreck.

X2. It's what i've been saying for a long time now; just another watch, but badly overpriced. Once upon a time you could spot the Rolex across a crowded room, and more importantly: covet it. Now with the Shite they are producing, you just shake your head. Absolute Shit.

GradyPhilpott · 7 March 2012, 10:44 PM

I can't even figure out who the target market for this so-called Sky-Dweller would be.

The GMTIIC seems to be a much better option for pilots than this dressy, very expensive option.

Aviation is not really a very lucrative field these days, either.
