Sky D Stick Dials Only?

Looking at the Rolex site, the only dials being shown are stick dials as far as I can tell. Are the Romans and Arabics really gone?

Looks that way. There was a thread earlier in the day discussing it.

I guess this confirms that the PM models don't sell well enough to warrant differentiation.

Not that I’m going to buy one any time soon, PM or SS, but I prefer sticks. There’s already a lot going on there, the sticks keep it cleaner, less crowded.

I agree, they were already an option for the PMs.

Yup.

WG is dropped completely.

Only available materials are steel, steel/gold, yellow gold, pink gold.

All dials are baton-styled. No Roman or Arabic numerals anymore.

Still need to see the new master catalog to confirm the discontinuation. But if this is true, as a wg roman owner I'll be very happy!

it certainly will make the WG a rare bird. Not certain if it wasn't already due to lack of sales and pricing.

It’s too bad the WG model with black dial have disappeared . Because its middle ring is white in colour and so unique , completely different from SS model.
