Oh I have to agree. As a blue DJII owner I'm starting to have the same feeling - wondering who's going to buy a DJII when they can get the same watch in a DJ41 and even get a jubilee bracelet

lostis4d · 22 March 2017, 09:56 PM

£10k for a sky dweller is reasonable! white, black or blue face though ?

RHIII · 22 March 2017, 09:58 PM

Overall -- I am quite underwhelmed...

...I'm interested in the stainless Sky Dweller...but that's about it....

all i can say it, without being negative about basel 17, is that the ceramic daytona from 2016 will increase on the black market lol

BDL · 22 March 2017, 09:59 PM

+1 on the moon phase being the hit this year to me.

soorg · 22 March 2017, 09:59 PM

Yawn.

HoosierRolexFan · 22 March 2017, 10:01 PM

So glad I picked up the SD4K last year - I specifically got it because it had the date and no cyclops and it is already a fairly heavy piece - now it is bigger and has a cyclops? Pass.

Sky-Dweller is a winner tho...

lostis4d · 22 March 2017, 10:02 PM

any thoughts on the NEW YM 2 WITH A NEW DISPLAY that looked identical to the previous one lol?

I thought that they changed the hand color a couple of years ago to make it more legible. They went back??

Rolex in general and daytona in particular, rolex changes only a fraction of a cent every year, they do not improve what is supposed to be a lot of money for them. Anyway rolex is still a great brand, i love it

Exploradori · 22 March 2017, 10:04 PM

Underwhelming, disappointing and boring.

This year I'll be looking at other brands.

I will probably stick with looking for a nice 40mm sea dweller or smp this year.

MCO1 · 22 March 2017, 10:16 PM

Some nice pieces, none I would really want to pursue! After last year what could we expect?

Now I can continue the wait for my DaytonaC without wanting to get on another list.

I have to say I was not a fan of the SD with cyclops, the lack of cyclops always kind of set it apart from the Sub in my eyes. Oh well it will sell no doubt.

904VT · 22 March 2017, 10:19 PM

Hodinkee just posted an article saying that the new Tudor Chrono movement was co-developed by Breitling and is based on the 01 movement. Interesting to say the least

JapRs · 22 March 2017, 10:21 PM

Wow and the coke!?

Another year with threads about it...

tomchicago · 22 March 2017, 10:21 PM

Lamest Basel in a while.

Tebow15 · 22 March 2017, 10:21 PM

And so much for Rolex being tight-lipped before Basel.

The new SD has been pictured on here for over a week now...

The Deep Blue escaped the chopping block, right? It's still on the site so I assume so...

AK797 · 22 March 2017, 10:24 PM

Pretty dull, conservative and safe year for Rolex after the hysteria of the D500. Think the CokeC next year is very likely now, as I thought, this year is the calm before the 2 storms.

Le Chef · 22 March 2017, 10:26 PM

No Coke GMT, no Daytona with Date, no Perpetual Calendar, a Seadweller with a magnifying glass. Let's hope other brands deliver.

The moose · 22 March 2017, 10:28 PM

Seems they really are focusing on larger sized watches. They kept the 41mm size of the DJ instead of making the rumored 40mm DJ.
The new Seadweller is also 43mm...etc. etc.

1WatchDawg · 22 March 2017, 10:30 PM

There's always next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure how anyone can be disappointed in this...Skydweller in SS with white gold bezel for $14K? Basically one of their most expensive complications in an all SS watch? This is huge in my opinion. Similar to if they had brought out an all SS Day Date.

Agree and I like this model a lot. I'm one of those who liked the Sky Dweller, but not enough to pay PM prices.

At $14k if it fits well it's superb value.

WG Daytona also looks interesting.

Honestly I'm not feeling the huge disappointment that others are; nothing as popular or wished for as the D500 but few Rolex years are.

What dial choices are there for the Stainless/WG DJ41 w/Jubilee? Only Silver??

DramaTurtle · 22 March 2017, 10:39 PM

These new releases are embarrassing... I'm embarrassed for them.
