Maxi dial & case... WHOA!!!

Here's a pic from R-L-X.de by Elmar:

Lol-x · 2 April 2008, 08:33 PM

Wow, I'm not too sure about that blue on the TT Submariner dial, it is quite a light colour compared to the nice dark navy of old.

seantk · 2 April 2008, 08:35 PM

Awesome Find! Thanks

I think she's a YY one...
Yes, the color looks a bit lighter... but that may be the conditions
the guys had to shoot their pics...

Overkill · 2 April 2008, 08:36 PM

oh my god 12800 ft, 3900 meters!

el-piloto · 2 April 2008, 08:38 PM

Yup, A BIG BIG THANKS thanks to the guys of R-L-X.de
Thanks to them, the pressure is finally off...

EvEr34 · 2 April 2008, 08:38 PM

Yes, you can say that aloud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHOA indeed!!!!!

Not sure (yet) weather I actually like what I see... need a bit more
time... But kudos to them for posting these early pics!!!

marshallr47 · 2 April 2008, 08:41 PM

Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Overkill · 2 April 2008, 08:41 PM

is that an SS sub with polished center links? i'm not liking the shade of blue, and i was hoping they wouldn't put polished center links on the tool Sub

Overkill · 2 April 2008, 08:43 PM

from page 27 of the same thread on R-L-X, apparently it's a WG Sub!

Overkill · 2 April 2008, 08:44 PM

another image of the new SD from R-L-X

the crystal doesn't look much higher than the bezel!!

el-piloto · 2 April 2008, 08:47 PM

And another pic from R-L-X.de by Percy.
The new SD... you can see how the lettering is not an engraving
on the "rehaut" but is printed under (or on) the crystal!!! Here:

Overkill · 2 April 2008, 08:47 PM

another two images from R-L-X

I wonder if the case has different dimensions... it has to..

Gedanken · 2 April 2008, 08:48 PM

Whoa, 12800 ft? Looks like Rolex decided to sock it to the pretenders with the depth-rating-envy.

I assume it's got a redesigned bracelet to go with the Maxi case. Not crazy about the rehaut engraving, though, and I may have missed something, but what's a Ring Lock System? All in all, I'll stick with my 16600.

Neither the Daytona nor the Sub do it for me.

pnefan · 2 April 2008, 08:49 PM

Love the look of that new DD

Dan

el-piloto · 2 April 2008, 08:50 PM

It seems as if there won't be a PEPSI GMTIIc this year...
Though there may be more surprises to come...

I wish they hadn't put the maxi dial on the SD, but I kinda like the idea of a red gold Daytona!

Lol-x · 2 April 2008, 08:53 PM

What happened to my new SS non-date sub with the 'submariner'

Oh well there is always next year

Guys make sure you grab all the pics, we don't want to leave any behind

Yes... I guess so! For the rumored Pepsi too... :-(

I hope Rolex will update their website tomorrow... there are now 2 models
missing there... the SS Daytona and the SubNoDate...
Though according to R-L-X guys at least the SubND will still be around...
as will be the LV... we'll see...

dkpw · 2 April 2008, 08:57 PM

If these are genuine, I'm disappointed.

The maxi dial on the new SD with the addition of SD specific lettering on the rehaut make the whole appearance of the watch far too "busy" for my tastes.

Likewise the blue "Fisher Price" sub does not appeal.

I'm sure there will be many takers of both though!

Let's wait and see if they do make the official Rolex site. Why do they have Basel at the beginning of April?

atldavek · 2 April 2008, 08:58 PM

I am a giant sub fan, but those (blue and black face) don't do it for me, I don't think I like the maxi dial and that is a different color blue, ceramic? The SD is pretty frickin' cool though. I don't think I can snorkel that deep. Looks like I can run it over and you just brush it off, MONSTER!

Yeah, if you'd snorkel with the new SD on your arm, its weight will take you
to the abyssal depths where the Rolex phytoplankton lives and glows!!!

Overkill · 2 April 2008, 09:02 PM

hey everyone, i took the liberty to take one of the pictures of the new white gold Sub from R-L-X and I fixed the white balance so as to eliminate the tungsten lighting effect and make it look the way it's supposed to, here it is:
