Hello all,

Baselworld 2017 unveiled, are you happy with Rolex releases?

Thanks

wb55 · 23 March 2017, 08:41 AM

Not sure yet. The cyclops on the SD is a hard thing to stomach. Heard it called "SubDweller" and there won't be a more accurate name coined.

Hoangoneone7 · 23 March 2017, 08:42 AM

Single red SD was pretty nice minus the cyclops and the increase in size

Quailhunter · 23 March 2017, 08:43 AM

I am thrilled. The only new watch that I liked was the SeaDweller and it looks too big for my 7" wrist.

My bank account is safe.

ulrichhh · 23 March 2017, 08:44 AM

I was disappointed for the Seadweller. Did not expect a steel Skydweller

Burger70 · 23 March 2017, 08:45 AM

No

Was hoping for a ceramic bezel on the explorer 2

Horology.life · 23 March 2017, 08:48 AM

yes. happy and what i expected.
There was always going to be a SD 50th anniversary, no way rolex would miss the opportunity to produce a new one.
Date just 41 SS with jubilee and fluted bezel is what i was hoping for.
SS sky dweller is a winner,
and Cellini moon phase is very interesting.

successful Basel for rolex as far as i can see.

As a poor man with a growing passion for expensive watches, I like it when those expensive watches become closer to my reach... so close yet so far away... but a bit closer! :)

Justinmg · 23 March 2017, 09:15 AM

Yes only because Omega killed it!

How long before you pick one of those up? It looks good.

My thoughts exactly and I voted yes for the same reason.

WristEnvy · 23 March 2017, 09:57 AM

I'm a bit underwhelmed with the Rolex and Tudor offerings.

G'ed · 23 March 2017, 10:03 AM

I'm happy.

That Rolex killed SD4000.

ap1 · 23 March 2017, 10:04 AM

Yes, but only bc it saves me $$$

Mixed

Voted Neutral!

HogwldFLTR · 23 March 2017, 10:23 AM

Basel has little to do with my happiness, fwiw. Happy with SKD, SD, and Tudor BBD.

G'ed · 23 March 2017, 10:27 AM

Omega killed it with triforce this year

AK797 · 23 March 2017, 10:32 AM

Yes, good day for the blues brothers and pandas, bad day maybe for red or deads.

DramaTurtle · 23 March 2017, 10:34 AM

Omega's triple threat beat all of Rolex's offerings.

Steel Sky is nice, though.

GB-man · 23 March 2017, 10:34 AM

Neutral. Will assess the skydweller SS and new SDc in person.

LuminousMaximus · 23 March 2017, 10:35 AM

Yes, I am happy...

Happy that it's over...

Happy with the new sky dweller, although I was really hoping for a coke bezel gmt in stainless.

Investr · 23 March 2017, 10:55 AM

Dying to see the SS Skydweller in person!! Love the WG Daytona on rubber as well!

Seaotter · 23 March 2017, 10:55 AM

Happy with the new Sky Dweller SS/WG & Moon Phase !
SD too big !

Wesley Crusher · 23 March 2017, 10:56 AM

After some thought, I don't think this year was a complete bust for Rolex. The Yachtmaster "Pat Sajak" is pretty sweet.

cajunron · 23 March 2017, 10:59 AM

I think Rolex hit a home run this year. The SeaDweller is now my new grail!
