The red Tudor looks great but the black one looks cheap. It's probably the titanium that is making it look like that.

The YM with blue dial looks fantastic, as do both of the Tudors. Would so much like for the Pelagos to be steel though.

That Yacht Master is gorgeous. If I had the money. I don't like the polished center links, but I bet I could live with it

Thanks for sharing your pictures, although I am now disconcerted.

I had loved every image I had seen of the Sky Dweller previously. These shots, closes to real life, I do not love it. At best, it is just 'Ok' - certainly not something I will pay $42 Large for. Maybe it's not seeing the YG, maybe it's the Oyster, I don't know. It does not at all sing to me here - perhaps it will NOT be my secondary Rolex come fall.

Other thoughts - I don't care for the smooth-bezel DJII in the least. The fluted bezel makes the watch. Don't care for this at all.
SubC ND - again, just expected without wow.
Also, I now agree with those who have said the Tudors look great.

Color me disappointed...

Thanks for sharing these photos. The live perspective can be quite different from the official press released photos. Of the Rolex models, only the Yacht Master is appealing to me. However, I must concur with most here, that the Tudor Black Bay has upstaged everything. I only hope that there will be an opportunity at some point to see one here in the U.S.

Used to think this watch looked horrid on the press shots, but looks absolutely fabulous on your photos Skydweller is still not doing it for me...

A great viewing!!
There's a couple there that have sparked a little interest for me (in the Rolex line), but I must say (and agree with my friend Dalip unfortunately!), that Tudor has hit the high mark this year.
Both Tudors are a flashback to times past, with a modern flair and winning style!

Thanks for posting Imran!

I'm not sold on the 114060, yet, but I don't need to be.

The blue dial on the YM looks way better in your pictures than I've seen before.

The Tudors are incredible.

I really can't believe how nice they are.

Tudor needs to come to the US, or maybe I need to go to Canada. It's not that far away.

These are awesome pics! Thank you so much for posting them The more I see the Sky Dweller the more I really like it.

As for the YM, this is a real winner IMHO

Wow, that Black Bay is pretty great looking! The only thing I'm dissapointed in w/ respect to it, is that it has no lug holes! Plus, I just saw some pics of one with the Stainless Steel bracelet, and it looks really sharp on that too. Pretty much has the versatility of a PAM with regards to how it seems to just look good on anything. I could see where you could go with so many different leather options that would pull that Patina'd look out of the dial! but, again, it would actaully look even cooler and more vintage and finish the whole tool watch persona (as well as improved reliability) if it had full lug holes
