Except those of us who prefer other colors. For me BLACK is the best by far and have seen all 3!

Looks better than the previous gen. Still, I wouldn't consider one, not a fan of the inner calendar ring, a bit much for me. Then there's the ring command which sounds dainty as hell. And the service bill must be astronomical. Naaaah.

I believe he means the month indicators that are used to set the watch for the appropriate month and not the 24 hour dial, fwiw. I always find it interesting those that say they don't need to be reminded of the month.

Perhaps but he said inner ring so my guess was he meant the 24 hour ring not the month markers.

Sorry, just realised it's not a calendar LOL! It's the dual time zone I was referring to. Makes the dial look too busy to me.

Understood...No Rolex is for everyone. I wasn't a fan either until I got used to it as well. It grew on me after a while and now I like it especially on the SS versions.

Agree they are all great.

But Rolex does blue incredibly well.

Let's be honest, all 3 colors are sexy. The blue is probably my favorite though.

Great photos and a lovely watch. I have a DJ2 with similar blue dial and love it.

But damn.....that Sky D is a big lump!
