I just spot this video on Youtube. At first, I don't like it much. But the turning of Bezel can adjust date and local time is amazing. One of the best design is the month and the recognition of 30 and 31.

Fantastic!! I really like the Everose Gold one with the brown strap!

GradyPhilpott · 7 March 2012, 11:00 PM

Okay!

That helps to make sense of the watch and it sounds like a masterful movement with a lot of capabilities.

Those who longed for more complicated movements should be pleased, although I don't think this was the kind of grand complication they had in mind.

So, while a few minutes ago, I was quite flabbergasted, now I see the light.

It is quite ingenious. It is quite functional. It is not a grotesquely large watch. It is an elegant design and it is will be very expensive.

What I thought might be a "fail," may just be the most interesting and useful watch for a limited demographic to emerge from Rolex in a very long time.

It's on the website:

They both like it because they are paid to like it. Plus, they got their Sky-Dwellers for FREE.

looks better on the video, probably cost 10K

same here, but I'm thinking it's going to be a bit more than USD10k

It is only available in solid gold and has an extremely complex movement. A better guess would be closer to the $34,000 USD mark.

$10k

remember, only on WG, YG and RG, more like $20,000 ++

dddrees · 7 March 2012, 11:12 PM

Thanks for posting.

I think the GMT inner ring still looks a bit funky and the month indicator is a bit unusual but kind of neat.

I do like that it includes an annual calendar though.

Impressive movement!!! This is what Rolex are good for...ADVERTISING!!!

DDG · 7 March 2012, 11:43 PM

I think it needs winding crown lugs & some kind of rotating bezel. It looks more like a dress watch.

Ceramic · 8 March 2012, 12:19 AM

Nice watch, but definitely not my cup of tea.

Java · 8 March 2012, 12:25 AM

If it came in SS I would order one now. I don't think there is much future in paying MRSP for a gold model.

I think is will be a long time before we see it in SS.
Nice to see a Rolex Annual calendar, and a whole new movement.

Keeperoftime · 8 March 2012, 12:22 AM

I'll admit the video makes the watch a bit cooler...

mdtddd2007 · 8 March 2012, 12:45 AM

After looking at the video. I like that white gold version. Is gonna be in 15k easy.

Xeloragemo · 8 March 2012, 01:59 AM

I think the following will improve the styling:
A) Centralising the 24 Hour Disk, will make the Dial more balanced.
B) Have rome for Full Numerals all around the dial.
C) Moving the Red Triangle Marker to the inner disk with the Triangle turned upside down.

What do other members think?

SS Oyster · 8 March 2012, 02:28 AM

In solid 18kt gold ... my guess it starts at $31,999

Launch Mini · 8 March 2012, 02:32 AM

With those complications, in gold, I would peg it at $50k or more considering a President is $30+

gwalker · 8 March 2012, 02:36 AM

The video makes it much better IMO. Everyone, including me, is upset because it's not what we thought it would be. By the time it gets released there will be a long waiting list. Guess Rolex was making more complex watches when I started a thread on it 2 days ago (I'm not claiming I guessed it, just a lucky question.) Too bad all those "inside sources" saying a new Pepsi was WRONG. ROFL
