Thanks to our own Tony G.(justrolexes) I'm feeling a lot of love for the new Sea Dweller 43 (Ref.126600), new Calibre 3235 rocks, and the fatter bracelet makes it perfectly balanced, wish they'd put it on the DSSD. The red ink is da bomb and the flat black dial works well with the overall presentation. Well done Rolex!

IMO the Calibre 3235 is a significant improvement over the trusty Calibre 3135 that has been Rolex's main engine for decades. The 3235 is sooo smooth that the second hand just glides along. Zero play when you adjust the time and truly spot on accurate! ROLEX sets the COSC standards at -2/+2 seconds a day and they ain't lying. On the wrist continues for past 4 days and running +1 against atomic clock, WOW!!

Thanks for looking &

Maarten

It seems there is a bit of an issue with the bezels not lining up on these. Yours looks spot on with the triangle at 12 o clock, but the markers at 9 and 7 look out of line, which would be very odd and would mean Rolex had actually got the spacing wrong on the bezel itself. Is it just the angle of the photo?

I think that's because the crystal is pretty thick and the dial is at a much lower plain than the bezel, causes that illusion in pictures, probably nothing wrong with the actual watches though.

Fletcher UK · 2 September 2017, 04:21 PM

Can someone confirm this?

Congratulations, such a great watch.

I'm pretty sure it's parallax. I haven't noticed any misalignment on mine.
Try to take a picture standing over your watch positioned horizontally on a flat surface.

It's possible to position the bezel anywher to achieve a visual alignment with any bezel.
It doesn't alter the functionality of the watch regardless.

strafer_kid · 2 September 2017, 08:21 PM

Fletcher, it's an optical distortion from the pic. When I take the watch off and look at each marker straight on, they line up perfectly. Thanks for the observation!!

Phew, thank goodness for that

I'm very pleased for you congratulations

The only reason I mentioned it in the first place was due to a thread on a UK watch forum that brought it to my attention. Not sure if I'm allowed to post a link to the thread so won't but it is quite interesting.
