Evening all,
Rolex have launced amongst other models, a new Sea-Dweller 'Deep Sea'. It has a larger case, convex crystal, titanium caseback*. Water proof down to 3900M! Rumoured to sell at £4800......Nice.

Ah does that explain why the website hasn't been working for a few weeks? I thought it was my browser settings??!! Or is it working?

That deep sea looks like the most indestructible watch in the world !

The deep sea,



Others here

I was expecting a new submariner with ceramic bezel like the gmt11c perhaps next year?









I'm not sure about all the engraving on the rehaut or is it actually on the face, or god forbid both?, perhaps it's not so obvious in the flesh. It looks much beefier than the sea dweller doesn't it?

The case is now 42mm and waterproof to 3900m/12800ft scratchchin so it's O.K. in the bath then.

Couldn't agree more.

Have a "similar" El Primero. White face, just markers no RNs and steel. Their new stuff's horrid.

Interested in the new Daytona...wonder what it will do to values of the old ones when it comes out.

the new Glycine's are interesting. Festina ripping of AP royal oaks is quite funny smile

Bit disappointed with Seiko, their nicest offer was a re-issue (SD moonphase).

The pic below reminds me why i really, really dislike Breitlings though:



vile!

Anyone got photos of the new Daytona? I saw some gold thing before but it was so rank I had to look away.

I normally like most Breitlings, but those in your pic are quite horrid indeed.

That looks fantastic - any ideas on when it is out and who will get stock?
