Same feeling for me.
I wish I had the wrist size to pull it off ;-)

Unexpected appeal
I love it when a watch surprises me and delights me against all expectations and against my usual taste . I'm neither a Rolex guy, nor a regatta guy, nor a fan of the blue , white , and red color combination (which reminds me of too many flags ), and I've...
I really like it.
When I had it on the wrist a few weeks back, I was positively suprised. For me the most interesting Rolex model this year.
It’s definitely better than the last
iteration, Emmanuel. It’s still not something I would ever look to add to my collection regardless of the improvements. Thanks for the excellent post!
Thank you, Steve!
I’m not considering it either. But I still find it really appealing (unexpectedly for me). Best, Emmanuel
Nice to know that the appeal works in real life too.
I clearly couldn’t pull it off, but I really like the look. Best, Emmanuel
PS: the movement/complication
is one of Rolex’s most interesting, with the Sky-Dweller (for me).
I did not pay attention to it...
but nice transformation over the years. The latest (in steel) looks quite attractive indeed, although it would still be too big for my wrist, I think. Thanks for detailing the changes, Emmanuel.
My pleasure.
I know I couldn’t wear this watch but it doesn’t prevent me from liking this new iteration and this specific complication. Best, Emmanuel
I’ve always like its colors and look… and as for size we sometimes forget that so called tool watches are a certain size because they are a tool.
Often we see a watch and think that’s a cool watch I might buy it and forget that tool watches like dive, pilots, and this yachting watch are oversized because they aren’t meant to fit under the cuff. They’re a tool. Of course how many are actually used t...
You’re absolutely right,
as many of us don’t do regatta, we’re focused on wearability… That said this is Rolex’s most interesting and original complication for me. Best, Emmanuel
I agree that it's much better looking and designed...
...although I would never have any use for it. I hire people to run my yacht...
Rolex has made the full gold Deepsea for you. ;-)
Best, Emmanuel credit: Hodinkee ...
Too big for me but a huge improvement.
The white dial does look much duller/muted on the gold version.
Yes the steel version looks much better.
And what a nice complication ! Best, Emmanuel
It definitely looks better than the previous models.
Still not one I would consider buying tbh .
Not one I’m considering either,
both because I’m not into Rolex and I couldn’t pull it off. Still, I think the complication is great and I really like the look of this redesigned version. Best, Emmanuel
I liked also the recently discontinued reference, but the forum members talked me out of it;)))
This new one at the first glance looks like a white dial GMTII on steroids. I’m in the collection reduction stage so no purchase for me.
I personally find the complication much more interesting than the GMT.
GMTII on steroids is a way to put it I guess ;-) Best, Emmanuel
Much improved indeed. And great complication: Rolex's best with the Sky-Deweller, imo.
Keep us posted when you try one on! Best, Emmanuel
