After seeing the first pics I didn't think the 'lack of sales' would be an issue. This wrist shot confirms my thoughts. I'm sure it will be priced out of the range I'm WILLING to pay, but it looks like a BIG HIT

I'm sold on it, im first on the list at my AD! It's funny she didn't even know what the hell I was talking about. Kept saying, "There is no list for the SD, we have one in stock." I had to repeat, "No this is the new one on the rolex.com site."

The watch in the background looks interesting.......

Seriously, it looks more to my taste than the "word dweller."

Wow. That is one tough watch. I haven't had a new Rolex catch much of my interest in years, but this one really is something. The writing on it is a little obvious, but the design is powerful... over the top, in fact. You better have an arm that can pull it off to make it work, tho, 'cause that watch is gonna make it look pitiful and weak otherwise.

Gotta see it in the flesh first, tho. But it looks pretty exciting.

Looks better on the wrist than I anticipated, but that writing still makes it a no-go for me.
Shame.
