The new Seadweller...
Thanks for all the positive feedback in my previous thread. I have two questions that I hope you could help me with;
1. The SD is supposed to be a 50th anniversary watch. What does this mean? That the model will not be produced for long? I read somewhere that the red text will turn white after a while? 2. Is this the new Seadweller diameter you think or will it go back to its roots (looking at the SD4000 that was only produced for a very short time). Will the SD now settle down and be around looking like this? Thanks! |

To your question:
1) 50 years of Sea Dweller (i.e. the model has been in production for 50 years) 2) No, this is the form (126600 @ 43mm) they will be sticking with in the near foreseeable future. Don't forget that the previous two models of the Sea Dweller (16600 and 116600) were both 40mm. |

Why should the RED turn white? The new ceramic models will stay shiny (and their dials mint) for years after none of us are here is my inkling.

I think what the OP means, it’s Rolex will switch back to white for the text on dial.
