Too long and nicknames are unnecessary

Smarties · 17 April 2017, 11:09 AM

Rolex advertised the new watch with emphasis on "50th anniversary".

Definitely SD50.

Straight forward, meaningful, and more official.

Did they change the seadweller? Is it still a tool watch? Heritage? Brand cachet?

LOL at nicknames

dadonn2 · 17 April 2017, 02:54 PM

I know you took a beating for suggesting this. I'm not a fan of nicknames myself and sobriquets are best when they arise spontaneously. That said, I want to at least serve up some credit for finding a cyclops who is the son of Poseidon. Well done. Still, his name means abounding in song and legend, he was a man eater and in modern contexts is mostly associated with a large silk moth. Tough crowd I realize but naming watches is an unpopular business in a place where they are, at best, grudgingly accepted.

We think it is perfect for the "king of the sea" Rolex Sea-Dweller, now with the Cyclop lens..

What do you guys think about it ?

Why? Bc it is already being adopted and what is the most unique and different aspect/part of it that everyone think of immediately about it? The red letters? No. The cyclops? No. What is the most prominent new aspect???

The 43mm!

Agree

SeaDweller50 · 17 April 2017, 05:39 PM

It's gonna be a bun fight between the SD50 and SD43. I say SD43.

dave023 · 17 April 2017, 05:43 PM

Since the previous one was commonly named the " SDc" I'd name this one SD50..

"SD-50", "SD-43", "RED SD-C" ...All relevant and all
beat "polyp....whatever"

by a longshot.

Smarties · 17 April 2017, 06:43 PM

The new Sea Dweller is the first 50th anniversary SD and surely it'll be the last since you can only have one 50 anniversary.

But I don't think it will be the last 43mm Sea Dweller. Rolex can change the red line back to white after 5-6 years (as some people suggested).

Sailman · 18 April 2017, 11:32 AM

I think it's too late ?? SD43 has gained traction all over.

SD43 it is .

adamalfie · 18 April 2017, 07:48 PM

Nicknames are for children in the playground, Smurf, Hulk, Batman etc, I have found that the people that actually own these watches cringe at these names.

Glidelock · 18 April 2017, 10:19 PM

Well, of course it's your run of the mill SDC43-50!

Randy9999 · 18 April 2017, 10:56 PM

Sorry, Giorgia, nicknames don't occur because the leading affinity book publisher picks the name, declares it on a watch forum, and then goes to print with it.

Nicknames occur far more organically. They're imposed "bottom up" from a critical creative mass naturally imposed by the public, often, interestingly, from more than just a single source at a time.

But, hey, good try.

P.S. Polyphemus would be a fine nickname for something the doctor removes after excessive inflammation.

So, I guess you're not a fan of the old "Hey, awesome Batman! My Hulk says HI" type replies in the WYW threads?

SD43 is sufficient.

Do you bring this kind of life and excitement to every conversation?
