Rolex Boutique Bond St. BaselWorld 17 Collection

[kelv_w]

Took a few photos from yesterday evening's event over at the boutique. Place was a bit small but nevertheless I had the pleasure to try out the new releases.
The skydwellers are nice and so is the SD43 however I've got really small wrist so I'm giving it all a pass.

Enjoy the pics.







The white SkyDweller has light sheen to it, almost satin like which is nice. The blue one has a waiting list of 2 years I've been told.







Too big for my 6 1/8" wrist.



Side by side, the SkyDweller and SD43 has almost the same thickness





No go for me :( but :) for the bank account



The Datejust 41

great pics, thank you for sharing, out of all the sky-dwellers, that white is my absolute favorite.

great pics thanks!

[rootbeer7]

The new Cellini is looking better and better. Might be a great buy 2nd hand?

That DJ41 with the blue dial on jubilee is just gorgeous.

[brandrea]

Thank you for the pictures, looks like a fun time.

Interesting comparison shot between the thickness of the SkyDweller and the SD43

I think if I want to try to pull off a larger watch with that lug to lug (other than my current Exp 2 I love), I'd go after that sky dweller. Looks great but huge in the pics compared to the SD for small wrist guys like me (like you, I'm only @ between 6.375 to 6.5"). Gotta try it on.

But damn.....that white gold Daytona. I am in love. Thanks for sharing.

Yes I do. I'll post a few pics of the new catalogue too when I get to it.

Hopefully the pics will help the small wrist guys decide lol.







The white SkyDweller is pretty stunning as well

Thanks for the report!

The SD43 is a good pairing for the SkyD (thickness and diameter look very similar).

If only the SkyD came with a Jubilee bracelet

[BadBoyR]

What were your thoughts on the black dial SS SkyD?

[AK797]

Hope the canapés were as good as the hype! Interesting the SkyD and SD43 are similar thickness, the SkyD seemed slimmer to me.

[Etschell]

I gotta get a white sky dweller.

Champagne too

It's crazy to see the Sky-Dweller with pretty much the same thickness as the SD43

[Amex4711]

Great pics - thanks

[stylinleems]

Great pics, the Sunburst Black dial Sky-Dweller looks amazing

According to past measurements of the gold ones, it measures 14mm..I think it's hard to discern a mm difference in these types of photos due to perspective. Visually on the same wrist from these pics it seems to wear much smaller...that's the power of that big bezel on the sd43 for you. I'm pretty excited to try it since it should be more comfortable with a less protruding caseback.

Great pics, thanks for taking us along!

[youthagainsttt]

Thanks for the pics, all the boutiques here in HK say they will only be available in September - hope they hurry up so I can try them myself..!

[Gharddog03]

Thanks for the pics!

[AJM914]

Great pics!

[Cru Jones]

Nice report, thanks!

I don't think the SD50 looks too large on you.

[Investr]

Well done, Thanks!

[zama]

Blue dial SkyD I like but have no interest in such a large dressy watch the Sea Dweller is cool, if I were in the market for a diver

[stevedssd]

Great pics

[kboy2379]

The new Cellini looks so pretty. I might need to try it on when it's released.

[sahcivan]

If it was possible to scource one. Would a Numeral dial from a WG SD fit in the Ss version?

[Xenophon]

Great pics, I couldn't make it. I wondered how many people would fir in even including their "library" bit upstairs. Does Richard still work their ?
