They had a chance to beautify the Airking dial but instead they added crown guards and called it a day

To my eyes, getting rid of the solid white gold 3 / 6 / 9 is a huge step in the right direction. So they did reduce the number of different colors and fonts from 13 down to 12...it is marginally better.

I only buy no date watches which means Rolex has very little that interests me, so I was hoping for a complete redesign of the dial (I had a Milgauss and liked the case as is).

I went through all 9 pages of new models and after page 2 thought it was just going back to the beginning of 2 pages total. It's like they are becoming Omega.

Just saw this as well. What the hell is a Falcon’s eye dial? Pictures aren’t making it look so hot.

Looks interesting. The name alone makes it a hot model for the Middle East market.

I was expecting something closer to the dial from Chopard's Alpine Eagle, mimicking the iris of an eagle.

I don’t know. I see both models now - the original black dial as well as the new Falcon’s eye dial.

Surprised to see a fluted bezel on the platinum DD. Thought they said it couldn’t be done.

Well supposely very hard to machine, the exclusivity of the 40 MM Platinum DD with the smooth bezel over the other DD models is gone…..
