Basel 2012: first teaser - SkyDweller? WG Daytona confirmed

[alantannottam]

When Sky Dweller first appeared in this year's Basel, I thought this piece of machine looked hideous; the design of the dial and of cos the price. I hate this model.

But the more I see it (on several watch forums), the more I find it pleasing. Changed my taste has and its a handsome watch.
Any of you thot the same too? that the watch is growing on you.

and of cos unless i hit $jackpot$, this machine is out of my reach.

the watch just looks weird...

hi all, newbie here... can perpetual calendar in rolex watches be intelligent enough to auto switch to 1st march after a 28th feb or 29th feb on a calendar year?

and how about July and August? Which both consists of 31st date... will it be able to detect that and adjust accordingly?

[skydweller_sg]

I thought it looks cool
It retains the typical dj look yet add in some new element

this watch looks weird..lol

It's an interesting development, movement wise, but god is it a visual monstrousity. But some people have silly money and beauty is ultimately in the eye of the beholder.

5 times a year too much?
thought manual adjustment of hour/min hands and date is one of the enjoyment of owning an automatic watch

[Throttle]

Ok... I hate to frequently adjust the date (5 times a year is too much for me :P), that is one of the reasons why I got myself an Explorer.
So, do you have any good recommendation for automatic watch that has perpetual calendar/annual calendar feature?

No i dont. Notice that my post is a perspective purely on aesthetics. Cheers

there will always be buyers. some peple kust wants to stand out in the crowd. guess this is one way.

even the gawdy super bling cartier look alike rolex with the tiger stripes straps and dial can find buyers. the piece at cortina was bought by an indian gentleman apparently.

like as though the YM2 isnt ugly enough....this sky dweller thingy is really..... peng....

its quite good looking, just that it does not carry the typical rolex look

havent seen this at local authorised dealers yet

Those who can afford to buy a 50 to 60K watch will for sure buy the new Rolex Sky Dweller.... simply because they already have the Pateks and APs! haha!

all of you are assuming buyers out there can only afford one 60k watch. singapore have plenty of multi millionaires, as long as it is something new and looks nice, rich watch collectors will buy, in fact you may not be able to buy a SD even if you can afford it cos there may be a long waiting list.
I remember when the new YM gold model came out couple of years ago, my friend wanted to buy but sold out at all ADs!

So true bro, we have over 3000 homes here at more than 12 Million !! and this is like pocket money to them all.
