+1, very likely! This is an excerpt from their website:
"RLX titanium is a grade 5 titanium alloy selected by Rolex for its weightlessness and resistance to deformation and corrosion. Although insensitive to abyssal pressure, the experimental watch that accompanied James Cameron in the Mariana Trench still pos...
It is indeed a killer
Really love it…i will see it later in the month…but it’s not for every wrist😅😎
Thanks for the pictures!
It looks a cool watch but the current Deepsea is as big as my wrist will take. I also prefer the D-blue dial of the current Deepsea. Rolex are now winning the marketing war. Will Omega produce a watch that goes even deeper?
Interesting
that sounds like dialogue from some ahh shall we call them movies I use to watch as a University student ))
This is so cool!
Pure Rolex dive watch, rated to the deepest depth. No date window. Pure raw functionality! Even though it's pretty much unwearable, I don't think I care that much! 😍
While such a thick watch isn’t my cup of tea, this is very exciting news. Rolex’s first production titanium case and bracelet!
Rolex had previously made a prototype titanium Yachtmaster. I can’t wait to see Rolex’s potential use of titanium in their other references. Nice!
When they named titanium as RLX in the last deepsea release I figured a full titanium watch was coming....
Though I was hoping for a ti no date 42mm yacht master .... I don't think Rolex is chasing omega but seems an unlikely coincidence that this comes out just months after the omega ultra deep....
most interesting release
look more like a concept piece to me but seems to be part of regular offering... but curious to learn how many they will allocate out. hopefully a sign they are moving in the direction of titanium going forward.... would love to see some of the regular re...
This is the weirdest Rolex release in a long time
What I don't get is the wearability. Rolex usually cares a lot about how wearable a watch is, so I don't understand why they would ever make a 50mm experimental watch for the public. The titanium is cool and hopefully it will be implemented in more collec...
Perhaps, for this particular model, Rolex don't care how wearable it is. The benefit of this watch to Rolex is that it undermines the Omega Ultra Deep.
Having launched this watch, Rolex can again claim the crown for the deepest diving commercially available watch. They don’t actually have to sell many to give Omega a kick in the marketing shin!
That is true
I am curious to see how this model performs on the market... It is obviously appealing to the Rolex nerd who loves tool watches and likes the titanium, but the fact that it is huge makes it so unwearable that only a tiny percentage of enthusiasts will act...
There are a couple of them in the Internet...
And, well, people using Sea Dweller watches did not use to take pictures of their watches on their wrists when the SD were first made right for that scope ;-)
Didn’t see this coming and still processing but very impressed!
Love the full RLX titanium and the technological prowess but, of course, disappointment with the wearability. Hopefully this represents a future metal option for other models or even, dare I suggest, a new titanium model altogether!? Thanks Rolex, a fitti...
It’s a very impressive watch
I guess it needed to be 50mm otherwise they would struggle getting 36090ft- 11,000m of text on the dial!
Bevels!
Most interesting part to me are the polished bevels on the case!!! Will these be coming back more widely?
My jaw dropped when I saw the release and I like it!
I remember when the Deep Sea Change was presented, how many people wanted a production model, so Rolex obliged, and gave us one. It is big, thick, and not wearable as a daily, but I would like to own it just for the engineering/technical achievement... It...
Finally..
A watch that will fit my ankle. I want this. It won’t fit me unless I wear it like a belt..but I still want it.
I understand the drive to demonstrate technical prowess
Up to a certain point, which is when the watch becomes completely unwearable by 99.9999% of the population. At which stage I just find it silly. Now, I am just waiting to read disingenuous reviews by the usual online publications highlighting how "surpris...
I used to get very excited in the past every time Rolex (a brand I love so much) announced a new model. Regrettably in the past few years I just read the announcements to know a bit about...
... the new model but with no passion as I know that I will not be able to view the piece in a Boutique or AD and much less buy it. I felt very dissapointed every time I entered in their shops to ask for a piece I was interested in and receiving the usual...
Finally!!!
Awesome watch-love it. I wonder if it's possible for a mere mortal like me to purchase?

TO is pretty lousy in regard to getting Rolex watches, actually most brands in general with the exception of Breitling and Omega and maybe one or two others.
