Was lucky enough to get to the Rolex Event in Liverpool last night and tried on some of the new models!

The SkyDweller is stunning and everyone was shocked at how low the price is going to be!

The white gold Daytona was absolutely stunning in person! That was my favourite alongside the rest!

The SD is nice but just not for me!

Tried on the TT YM2 which was a lovely watch!

Nice watches. I already own two Sky-Dwellers so I am interested in the SD43. Waiting on my AD to give it a try.

cop414 · 2 June 2017, 08:48 PM

Great comparison shore, I love the Sky Dweller!

RRGHOST1 · 2 June 2017, 08:49 PM

Where in Liverpool was this ? Unfortunately it was band practice last night but would have liked to have gone.

It was held in the Town Hall! Great venue as well!

Looks like a great time

Bob the brush · 2 June 2017, 09:15 PM

Where do they advertise this type of event or do you have to be invited by your local friendly AD? I missed one last month very near to where I live as I was unaware it was on, and I would have loved to have gone.

travisb · 2 June 2017, 09:32 PM

The SD, Skydweller and WG Daytona are all winners for me.

donut · 2 June 2017, 10:00 PM

Thanks for sharing..All of them are very nice watches.
But never see Daytona c available for trying.

It is an invite from your AD

Sky21 · 3 June 2017, 02:46 AM

Thanks for sharing, the new SS SD is certainly going to shake up the demand for that watch I think well beyond what the PM versions have been doing.

Steve36Efc · 3 June 2017, 02:56 AM

Nice one. I had an invite but couldn't make it, have been checking out the photos on IG.

I've had a few watches from DMR and have always had a good experience.

Gtecko · 3 June 2017, 03:21 AM

Thanks for sharing, beautiful watches, specially the SkyDweller #wow

JR16 · 3 June 2017, 08:56 AM

Thanks for posting, my AD has the Rolex event in 1.5 weeks, looking forward to seeing the new watches in the flesh!

Love the Daytonas. Thanks for the pictures

They are simply gorgeous!

sensui · 3 June 2017, 10:04 AM

Sounds like fun...that wg Daytona is irresistible.

Not unless I get a discount.

mickyd329 · 3 June 2017, 05:15 PM

2017 Basel was a great showing for Rolex. First on the list for the blue SkyD at my AD. The wait is killing me. As of late the SD 43 is starting to really get my interest too. Might have to break the house rules and add incoming #2 and #3 for the year. Might have to spend a few nights on the couch as the wifey won't be too happy. lol.

Mike perazzi · 3 June 2017, 07:58 PM

So looking forward to trying on the new models myself especially the Skydweller as I'm on a list for this particular model
At the event you attended did they mention if the servicing costs of the ss skydweller will be comparable to the pm skydweller
Thanks

Did they give an idea when the Skydweller would be available in the UK?

watchwatcher · 3 June 2017, 10:12 PM

Thanks for the pics.

Not crazy about the new mercedes hands on the YM2, but man, there are some great watches in that lineup.

Around August / September time! Possibly October to the majority of AD though!

They are brilliant!

Chadridv · 4 June 2017, 12:15 AM

Thanks for the review! What's the WG Ceramic Daytona going for? I think it's amwesome.

Mike perazzi · 4 June 2017, 02:27 AM

The only reason I was asking was I'd read somewhere online that the servicing cost of the pm sky dweller was around £1200 maybe someone who's got some firm information could confirm

I think it was around the £20k mark!

Expensive considering the rubber, but a stunning dial

SeaDweller50 · 4 June 2017, 02:39 AM

WG Daytona on a RB? Sacrilege. Truly horrible.

glad to know there is one less UK rolex enthusiast to compete with at the AD for the first delivery of this Daytona
