Pic taken from another thread - there’s a crown between “Swiss” and “Made”.

Ladies and gentlemen of TRF - do we now have a true, limited run, MK1 dial 50th Anniversary Sea Dweller?

Wow that’s great , hopefully a nod to the anniversary year

brandrea · 7 July 2018, 10:38 PM

Yes it appears that way Scott.

The web site hasn’t been updated yet, but apparently these crown versions are popping up.

A.I. · 7 July 2018, 10:43 PM

Great catch.

harvey · 7 July 2018, 10:49 PM

Scott super reporting here!

24 nights · 7 July 2018, 10:53 PM

Forgive me but I don't see the difference ? nevermind

harvey · 7 July 2018, 10:55 PM

Here’s mine I picked up 8th July 2017, exactly a year ago today!

brandrea · 7 July 2018, 10:56 PM

Can someone post them side by side for easier reference?

I submit my MK1 from May 4 2017.

Thanks in advance

What I have the old one ?? I need to go out straight away to get the new version !!

Makes me laugh that years from now someone MIGHT be willing to pay more for a watch that doesn’t have a crown on the bottom of the dial.

Good spot though Devil.

Interesting!

glamorama · 7 July 2018, 11:03 PM

Does that mean new movement?

rudestew · 7 July 2018, 11:03 PM

Well you can tell it’s a 50th year model (2017) instantly for me that’s cool as

Radix · 7 July 2018, 11:03 PM

MK1 = mark 1

rootbeer7 · 7 July 2018, 11:05 PM

Look at images in posts above. Check out the ‘Swiss Made’ at bottom of dial at 6 o’clock. The newest version has a crown between Swiss and Made.

It's like version 1, version 2, etc.

Version 1 no crown = Mk1
Version 2 crown. = Mk2

That’s my picture.

Anyways, crown or no crown...it’s amazing watch. I wouldn’t let that be a deciding factor whether to purchase or not.

Wait, I thought the little crown indicated the new movement?

The 2018 TT GMT 126711CHNR has it, the full everrose gold GMT has it and the new Jubilee Pepsi has it. Does it mean this SD43 has a new movement too ? How about the laser crown, is that still on the glass ? Is the SD43 really a limited run. Rolex announcement?

Dirt · 7 July 2018, 11:25 PM

It's all old news.
I flagged this when the new dials came out months ago.

Yes the crown was added to differentiate the versions that have the new movement. Here is my CHNR.

Well spotted, this was questioned when they released the 2018 models. Mine is a keeper for sure now :)

Ha. Good point. Must have been every model with it after they made the decision to do this with the new Basel releases? I would imagine once they decided to implement with new releases they would make this apply to all models. I am not a SD owner so I am definitely not as familiar so I will defer. AD just told me yesterday about the crown signifying the new movement which is why I chirped in.
