Bingo. That sounds about right. If they add a complication, I'll be thoroughly impressed.

Well, break open the retirement accts. especially if the first version is white gold :-/

MP5 · 6 March 2012, 12:49 AM

Why is the bezel printed and not etched?

Lanfor · 6 March 2012, 12:52 AM

This could be very interesting !

chris_explorer · 6 March 2012, 12:53 AM

Exciting!

Speed · 6 March 2012, 12:54 AM

Expensive

Kind of looks to be a polished aluminum bezel that is printed. It looks to be inset a tiny bit. We will soon know :)

Im thinking this is part of the dial, not the bezel.

Philipp · 6 March 2012, 01:01 AM

Bezel of the new Sky Dweller is sharp at the edge, like Explorer & Milgauss, not like Submariner, Seadweller & GMT ;-)

mjclark32 · 6 March 2012, 01:08 AM

Cool, looking forward to seeing it!

qwiklap · 6 March 2012, 01:14 AM

In the thread on what we wished for from Rolex at Basel ...

I specifically wished for nothing that I would ever want to own (thus allowing my wallet a much needed break -- and my wife relief from my watch cravings).

Looks like Rolex will disappoint me.

Philipp · 6 March 2012, 01:15 AM

Think of a 44 mm Explorer Calendar and you've Sky Dweller ;-)

westbroek · 6 March 2012, 01:16 AM

interesting

Puffy · 6 March 2012, 01:19 AM

SeaDweller (1967)
SkyDweller (2012)
LandDweller (2013)

Then Rolex has all angles covered.

mikkemus23 · 6 March 2012, 01:22 AM

I "fear" it might be 44mm like the DSSD..

The dial will be sky blue

hmm, it will be really interesting!

sky blue dial with a white bezel would be very interesting. I guess we will know in 2 days.

esm · 6 March 2012, 01:27 AM

less than 2 days to go until we find out the new models

Speed · 6 March 2012, 01:30 AM

As i mentioned in another thread, I'm still pulling for the
Rolex "Safe-Dweller."

The watch you will never wear / never remove the stickers or bezel protector...or even take out of the box. :-)

Destined to be collectible.

Dickson Lim · 6 March 2012, 01:33 AM

Oh my god, such a tease! Looking forward about it.

snowpea · 6 March 2012, 01:47 AM

Can't wait hope the gmt hand is in the style of the new explorer 42

Dickson Lim · 6 March 2012, 01:52 AM

Oh ya, my guess it would have a chronograph with hour bezel?

Would that be an EXP II Lite

JustABreathAway · 6 March 2012, 01:53 AM

Clever Rolex, having the red thingy point to 7...

They took a leaf out of Apple's book

Apparently both companies unveil their 2012 products on the same day. What a coincidence

The previous CEO more than likely was canned because Rolex was not 100% happy with him. Maybe taking the company in the wrong direction with the bigger models... Hopefully the new CEO has a better sense of style and has stopped this enlarging and blinging out craze!
