That is a beautiful watch. It has a simplicity that is appealing.
Opinions on the new steel / white gold Sky Dweller? I think both the black and blue dial versions look sharp, and are "well-priced" for a annual calendar / dual time comp from Rolex.
One concern is on the fluted bezel which comes across in pics as being very showy. Does that bezel dull over time to something a bit more modest?
Revo has quite a few Basel videos on their site which are incredibly frustrating to watch. Frustrating because its obvious that Revo has tier 1 access, but their staff have zero on screen experience. Wei Koh interrupts every single person with "Yeah/ Yes" and mindless commentary (oftentimes not letting Marc Hayek complete a sentence), and Sumit strives to be overtly eloquent but just comes across as nervous and unprepared.
Say what you will about Hodinkee, but they're far better on camera than the competition (though I do enjoy the casual, on the hop, vibe of ABTW's Vlogs).
I actually think the bezel makes it stand out less because it's not obviously identifiable as a Rolex to an average onlooker.
Not keen on the glossy blue dial though: I reckon that would project as much more "showy" than the bezel.
I believe that is a gold gold Daytona with gold gold bezel and gold gold hands and markers.
I think it looks good on you. I also think over time as it rubs against things (especially since its white gold), it will get fine hairline scratches (even from things like cotton dress shirt cuffs) and it will develop a bit of a patina when will tone down the finish a bit. Still I think it looks great with the blue dial. Good luck with whatever you decide!Opinions on the new steel / white gold Sky Dweller?

I think he was referring to the color of the metal as he was a bit surprised that its yellow and not rose gold. They actually weren't making rose back then, but overtime and with exposure to water it has oxidized and looks a bit more like rose than yellow.I believe that is a gold gold Daytona with gold gold bezel and gold gold hands and markers.
Yes, it was fantastic meeting for lunch and catching up with you. Mrs Dino and I had a great time We look forward to catching up the next time we are in town.It is always good to see TWAT brothers in person. Caught up with Din0944 last week over lunch. Guess what color this Daytona is?
Hahaha you so bad! But so good too! En route to some other city today - on the wrist, a masterpiece, recently discontinued.Quote:I think it looks good on you.

The Daytona looks great on you...maybe one of these days you will have to pull the trigger on a gold one..."Sending subliminal enabling messages to you. Have a great day!

I'm way late to the game re: the new Sea Dweller, but it's an interesting release to me. I figured I'd either love it and be annoyed that I just bought the 116600, or hate it and be ecstatic that I got in when I did. What I didn't expect was to feel both simultaneously! At 43mm, it's simply a non-starter for me - I find the outgoing 40mm to be my perfect size. I'm also against the cyclops, but not due to any allegiance to the cyclops-free history of the SD; I simply don't care for them, especially on an already-thick watch.
That being said, love the red writing and the new movement, and (while I'll withhold final judgement until I see one in person) it looks like Rolex may have avoided some of the growing pains that have come about when upsizing other models in the past. The increase in bracelet width is especially welcome.
Looks great! I just traded my SubC 116610LN for the SD 116600. I'll have it in hand tomorrow - can't wait!
