Thanks for posting these. Shots like these almost always look better to my eye than the glossy promotional photos.

Thanks for sharing. Interestingly the Yacht-Master has now piqued my interest.

Excellent pics!!!!! Thanks for the post. Would love to hear your verdict having seen them in person .

This confirms it for me without much doubt. Sorry but the SKD is just not quite there. It looks ok on the wrist but something is just off in the overall clutter on the dial for my tastes. Way too much text. Centre wheel cuts across the watch. And lacks subtly or class for a watch of this magnitude. Again that's my taste and I know it'll appeal to others.

The DJ looks better. I like the smooth bezel. Classic Rolex. great to see and one I want to check.

The sub ND is nothing special IMO. Predictable and I prefer the date and LVC in particular for SS. I can't really see those with a sub C already going for one of these. I certainly won't. But they may appeal to the new buyer.

The YM with blue dial.... Nice! Certainly has an appeal but in this bracket there are others ahead for me.

But the winners are the TUDORS. Wow!!!!!!! Amazing. Love them both and they look fabulous on. Oozing character. Wonderful dials. Great size. Excellent proportions. These are both on my wish list!!!

Tudors are the winner for me. Sweet chamfers on the lugs, vintage look and no engraved rehaut!

Gorgeous new watches! The Everose Sky Dweller is spectacular! Just wondering, are you allowed to try them on at Baselworld? If not, how did you get to try these new beauties on?

Amazing photos. The "live" photos really show how these watches look in the flesh. That YM is to die for.

Love the blue YM! and the choco SKD does not look half bad ... but of course, the Black Bay should be called the Show Stealer!

That Sky-Dweller is really starting to grow on me. Now if only the WG had arabic numerals.
