Now I am torn between the new Explorer II and this! I love the white faced Explorer II but I have always wanted a ND Sub! The Sky Dweller should have been a tool watch with an annual calendar function.

They shouldn't have discontinued it. Better, they should have updated it with a saphire domed crystal like that on the Tudor Black Bay! I think they would sell tons of it Best regards. René

Honestly I like bevels but this case with no date is sharp. I have been considering a C sub for a while. Depends on when they make it to store shelves. I don't have much patience and don't want to pay a premium.

I'd been hoping for this watch last year at Basel 2011. When it didnt come then, I had sort of given up hope that Rolex would make a ceramic no date sub. Now here it is, finally, and I am oddly ambivalent about it, even though it had been my #1 fantasy "I...

I am really disappointed in the trend of most watch makers today and in particular Rolex, as I write this I am wearing my Sea Dweller and it appeals to me so much more than these latest offerings. The increase in case sizes bewilders me, is it that we are...
Hello Jeff

I get along with your thoughts. I guess that's why many of us like vintage more than modern rolexes. Congrats on your sea-dweller, since it's one of the most iconic tool watch, one to live forever! I think rolex is geting more into "trendy" or "fashion" d...

Yes, the more I think about it and the more I look at it, the more I think that this will be the modern watch for me in 2012. Case size good. Cool innovation on the lume. Uni-directional scratch resistant bezel. Yep like that. New bracelet too. It's simpl...
Agreed

Baron I do agree with you. Its back to the purity of the early Subs with a changed crown guards and no date feature. I think Rolex is listening and aware that Rolex aficionados what the company to pay homage to their Icons of yesterday. Has anyone seen th...

From the 14060 in 1989, the 14060M in 1999, first non-certified and certified, to finish his career with a Parachrom. Frankly, it was time to change it. The bracelet, the insert, the EL, nothing was going on that "poor" submariner. Only the 3130 is on top...
