The SDK4 is sure to develop a cult following with its short production run
I agree. Now instead of the wis diver the SDc will become a staple for average joes. I think. Yes the price is higher with a little discount it's not a huge difference.

I think the updated DJ 41 in stainless will do well.

Agreed in general but I am not going to lie and say that I am not going to the AD this morning to get on any list they have for the SkyD with blue dial in WG.

I REALLY wanted a TT Ceramic Rootbeer! I don't dislike any of the new models I am just not excited about any of them.

I was also hoping for a new YG reference.

soooooo boring. but to be expected honestly. Omega, on the other hand, absolutely knocked it out of the park. The Holy Trinity re-issue is absolutely stunning. I wish Rolex would take note....a true 6263 reissue :)

What a horrendous day of launches for Rolex. Really hard to believe a year of thought goes into a portfolio like that...

The Omega on the other hand. I mean, how good is that 60th Speedy?!

No, I said that to those who expected Rolex to make a complete overhaul in their lineup.

All these are subtle modifications, like the evolution of a 911 some may say.

That look and that complication for that price?? Unheard of.

Similar as if they had brought out an all steel Day Date. How is the SS skydweller not getting more attention??
I just saw that. Either that or the black dial is the one I think I like best.

Ask your AD to order an oysterflex band for you SS Yachtmaster. I had them order a new style bracelet for my 5 digit reference. The down side is that you'll pay full retail.

I hear you, although I feel the recent ceramic models are as big of a overhaul as Rolex will get when it comes to upgrading their lineup.

I just really dislike that they put a cyclops on this new SD, not sure the reason behind it.

Sit nicely between the Sub and the Deep-Sea?

40mm is on the small side for a sports watch IMHO, I could be wrong, I very much like my YM size.
