This is a good looking Watch but get rid of the cyclops.

joli160 · 24 March 2017, 06:27 AM

It's a stunning watch

BJHofkin · 24 March 2017, 07:49 AM

Look at these two videos – I think it's possible the size is more like the Exp II than the DSSD:

Looks great

BJHofkin · 24 March 2017, 10:39 AM

This is actually the best video so far – it looks really stunning:

I really like the SD4k Red, and I hope it does well.

Goodwill63 · 24 March 2017, 11:21 AM

At 53, I like the cyclops. Might be the only one.

I'm 33 and like it too. Yeah I liked the SD without as well, but I actually like the look of the cyclops on Rolexes

I wish I could pull off a 43 mm watch if I could I would consider this one. I think the thickness puts me off more than the 43 mm size.

Excellent video. All 4 models look absolutely stunning.

I'm hoping the Sub will be slightly modified to the new SD's proportions in the next 2-3 years. Everything tapers beautifully from the case to the bracelet to the clasp, just like the old pre-6-digit Sub and SD models.

04ltdbusa · 24 March 2017, 01:08 PM

Looks like I'll be adding the new SD to my collection.

vipergts · 24 March 2017, 01:17 PM

looks awsome

datejust24 · 24 March 2017, 01:22 PM

Just looks like a thicker modern day Red Sub....not at all what I would have expected from Rolex.....I'm disappointed

sea-dweller · 24 March 2017, 01:45 PM

It will take me a while to get accustomed to a cyclops on a SD. But, gorgeous watch!

Agreed – and that's CRITICAL in my eyes. Still waiting for confirmation of the wider bracelet/clasp apart from just ablogtowatch's hands-on and video…

Nice...thanks.

BJHofkin · 25 March 2017, 01:34 AM

The Sea Dweller has always been basically a thicker Sub, and now it's wider too. I mean, the two watches are and always have been extremely similar to anyone other than a Rolex WIS. What exactly were you expecting?

VinnieVegas · 25 March 2017, 01:44 AM

I'm starting to warm up to this.

I don't have a Submariner Date and I don't have a SeaDweller in my collection. I think there's room for this one in my collection as it fits neatly between those two holes in the collection.

Wait and see.

sea-dweller · 25 March 2017, 01:57 AM

Nice video!

Toomanyms · 25 March 2017, 02:08 AM

any word on how thick it is

PanosI · 25 March 2017, 02:41 AM

Some captures from the video.

Yurigs · 25 March 2017, 02:58 AM

it's growing on me but that 43mm has be turned

Hwkaholic · 25 March 2017, 06:54 AM

I scaled this one to 43mm on my phone, and the thickness measured about 16mm.

I'm fully aware of the similarities and have several of both....but now they are far too similar....the SD never had a cyclops and feel Rolex should have stayed true to the original design which separated the two references....not happy about the size at all as I feel the bigger watch fad is losing it's glow...I never liked anything bigger than 40mm with the only exception being my Speedy.....Ideally I wanted the same watch they came out with without the cyclops and smaller....that's it....what we're you expecting....what they came out with right?......

SweetTomato · 25 March 2017, 10:52 AM

The diameter seems fine, the thickness is the part that's uncomfortable. But I guess that's always been the SD style.

Rocco21 · 25 March 2017, 11:10 AM

I will be getting one and taking the cyclops off.

cajunron · 25 March 2017, 12:11 PM

I WILL own this watch!

waterman1 · 25 March 2017, 12:11 PM

Is there a way to scale this to know the lug width? I would love to see 22mm but I'm guessing it's 21.

I did the same and from what I can tell, it's 22mm.

That said, I took the stock photos from Rolex' website, scaled them to 43mm width at the bezel and the thickness measures at 17mm at the top of the crystal and 18mm at top of cyclops.

Here are my measurements.
Width: 43
Height to Crystal top: 17
Height to Cyclops top: 18
Lug width: 22
Lug to Lug: 50-51

Pics to show scale.
The last pic of the height looks like it isn't lined up right on the ruler, but I assure you that it is. It's just the angle of the pic.
