Basel 2012: first teaser - SkyDweller? WG Daytona confirmed

[Dfive]

Yeah me too!

The complication and the method of changing functions via the bezel is very unique.

The newish YM2 Racing Timer does the same no ??

The looks doesn't cut it for me too.... Don't understand this model....

Hey guys, look at Tudor's Heritage. They brought back the snowflake and rimmed it with a red bezel. Pretty cool.

This is the first annual calendar complication watch from Rolex since the 1960s! My guess is that this watch will be priced similar to the Day Date IIs and the Yacht Master IIs so it's more of a luxury model than a sports model.

Yes the rotatable bezel does have its functionality, I.e reference time setting, data and time setting etc.

Huh? Izzit? Thats unusual cos thought the crown dose all the adjustments but I've never heard of the bezel being used to do these things. In the case of a gmt2, yes but this is a fluted bezel. And what do you mean by data setting?

Maybe I'm missing something here but I do not understand why the designers put a rotatable bezel on this watch when it does not appear to serve any function or purpose?

IMHO, they shoulda designed it using a sport model casing. What they appeared to have done is akin to adding some decals, fins and spoilers to an old car design like the 911 haha.

Sky Dweller is really nice... But given the price, out of my range unfortunately... DSSD it is then...

That's one freaking ugly watch. Rolex has lost the plot 4-5 years ago and has started producing hideous looking overcrowded pieces. Just look at the dial, come on...are they really serious? The bezel is so gargantuan and overbearing coupled with the busy face makes it really hideous. Add to the insult, the grooves of the bezel looks so deep and sharp that it'll cut the fingers of the owner who dares venture in trying to turn it. The designers really ought to be fired. All function but poor aesthetics. I'll stick to my plexis thank you...
