Not sure why it would matter... everyone that prefers WG always says it looks and feels much different than SS, so nothing changes for them!

I've seen this mentioned a few times and I'd say if the dials are different then at least you and fellow WIS know the difference, plus they are usually nicer, but if the dials are also the same then you don't have this.

After releasing the SkyDweller in SS and TT last year and now the BLRO in SS, I would be nervous if I bought a PM Rolex for dial/bezel color reasons. It's a shame they aren't protecting the PM buyers.

I've got a Smurf and the thought of flipping crosses my mind now. Shame, really.

Smurf has ALWAYS been my grail but couldn't justify the price-tag.

After the release of the SS BLRO, I will not be looking at the smurf no matter how tempting.

I wouldn't blame you if you sold yours before Basel 2019.

Rolex is doubling down on steel, contrary to popular opinion, because even less people want to buy a watch let alone a really expensive watch.

So yes, everything is in the table for them!
