raclaims · 22 March 2017, 11:05 PM

D and only because I like the direction that moon phase cellini is going

El-Duderino · 22 March 2017, 11:07 PM

C- only because of the Cellini.

B.love the two tone sky dweller and sea dweller just don't like cyclops on it.

Mystro · 22 March 2017, 11:07 PM

Love the size of the new SD. This will be the standard and be as popular as what the SS Sub is.

AK797 · 22 March 2017, 11:08 PM

I like the Panda Daytona and SS DJ41s but will give it a D, so hopefully they get their act together after this sleepy year off and get you guys your CokeC.

On a positive note, at least this shows Rolex are generally doing well and sales are not really hurting in this down-turning market so as to make them release all their big guns desperately one after the other.

zoenoadad · 22 March 2017, 11:08 PM

B. D- for originality but LOVE the SS Sky Dweller. I told myself yesterday that I would only consider a SS Sky Dweller out of the Basel releases, and lo and behold there it is (sort of, with the WG combo). Would just like to see it in person before pulling the trigger.

JapRs · 22 March 2017, 11:09 PM

To me the fact that they do not do what people normally predict deserves an A+...

justdate · 22 March 2017, 11:13 PM

Love the SS skydweller and Daytona. The Cellini is very nice too.

Great new releases I think.

Bluside · 22 March 2017, 11:13 PM

C for average.

japenney · 22 March 2017, 11:14 PM

C mainly because the steel skydweller. If not for that then F.

GMT Aviator · 22 March 2017, 11:15 PM

C-
The TT Skydwellers are nice.....everything else......?

adnjoo · 22 March 2017, 11:15 PM

C- ..

What is up with the Gem-set YM?

Why did they add a cyclops to the SD and steroid the case size more?

but most importantly, Where is the Pepsi or Coke GMT? :/
*was so looking forward to either colour combo in SS :/

ap1 · 22 March 2017, 11:18 PM

Disappointment - wg Daytona rubber only thing I have mild interest in

And now you will be looking forward to it next year!

theken · 22 March 2017, 11:24 PM

A for black dial steel Yachtmaster priced at $14400.
A++ for steel DJ 41 on Jubilee and white gold Daytona on Oysterflex
Moon phase Cellini and 43mm Seadweller very interesting as well.
Out of the park, bases loaded home run, by Rolex imho.

cdbeaver66 · 22 March 2017, 11:26 PM

C. Was expecting more but do like the SkyD

Wesley Crusher · 22 March 2017, 11:27 PM

Where's the option for F-?

GB-man · 22 March 2017, 11:28 PM

B-

Steel skydweller with blue dial.

At least everyone will be able to get what they want without buying their AD a spa package.

Skyrider01 · 22 March 2017, 11:37 PM

C
Was expecting more.

jfmiii · 22 March 2017, 11:37 PM

F.

Omega, on the other hand, gets an A+.

Goin2drt · 22 March 2017, 11:39 PM

D- total bust.

Daytonaman799 · 22 March 2017, 11:40 PM

c-. The SkyDweller is a great bang for your buck in SS and a total A. Maybe one of the best on the market today. The new SD though is a TERRIBLE disappointment. Hate the size and the cyclops. Only the red font throwback is nice. But for the 50th anniversary of the last true tool watch its just awful overall and is as F as F can go so the balance of everything else being average takes it to a C-.

chris975d · 22 March 2017, 11:41 PM

I've got to go with an A for the SS Skydweller alone. Huge surprise from Rolex.

strafer_kid · 22 March 2017, 11:44 PM

No real surprises really....perhaps people's expectations each year are too high?

landroverking · 22 March 2017, 11:46 PM

Only reason I graded C was the Tudor BB, otherwise D-

hitman23 · 22 March 2017, 11:48 PM

Panda dial Daytona for the win

Nycturbovr6 · 22 March 2017, 11:49 PM

I vote c. Not terrible but was hoping for a little something more

DocHorton · 22 March 2017, 11:54 PM

Man you guys are tough. They do a SS SkyD, add a cool Cellini, and add ceramic and Oysterflex to the Daytona PM models. Those are all huge wins.

The YM2 is nothing big, and the Seadweller will be loved by many and hated by some as well.

Hard to give it anything lower than a B.

Outside of a Coke GMT or YG Green Sub can't imagine anyone could have realistically expected anything else except for some more dials for the DD40.
