I haven’t been around for a few months so have probably missed the threads on this new release, but what does everyone think of the new Sea Dweller?
I’ve never been a fan of bi metal watches, but I have to admit, the more I look at this piece the more I like it.
I currently own the SD43 and I love it. I can honestly say that I haven’t taken it off for more than a day since picking it up over year ago.
Has anyone picked one of these up yet? I would love to see some pictures.

I like it. I like TT watches - in a rotation.

I’m looking forward to seeing it ‘in the metal’ as soon as my AD gets one.

I like it a lot.

singe89 · 8 May 2019, 07:44 AM

I think SDs should remain SS tool watches as much as possible. Makes me like my DSSD even more. Although if they made a PT DSSD I would probably have to buy it.

Rashid.bk · 8 May 2019, 07:53 AM

Prefer a two tone Submariner LN. This is just too weird. It's like they put lipstick and a wig on a soldier. The Sea-Dwellers were always "that" watch, now they finally neutered it, I guess the Explorers are the only legacy carrying watches now.

Guess as we get over it this might become a hit...but if the same happens as before where people see the same versions of the Submariner and Sea-Dweller for sale, why would you pay more for a two tone SD43 when a Submariner 116613 is cheaper and looks the same. This always hindered sales of Sea-Dwellers with the general public, although today with the high demand, anything will sell. Given the choice, I prefer the two tone black Submariner.

Come to think about, is the two tone LN even in production still.....

Cru Jones · 8 May 2019, 07:55 AM

Yep, quite a few threads on this one, even one just a couple of days ago.

Hope this works for pics of the 126603

daveycrawford · 8 May 2019, 08:02 AM

I have an sd43 also and I love it. But the TT kills it dead in my humble opinion. The colours are so good in the metal. I love it and it's been on my wrist since picking it up.

Amochosto · 8 May 2019, 08:36 AM

From the pictures I have seen it’s the best looking TT Rolex in production, and honestly I like it better than the SD43 in SS.

shapa · 8 May 2019, 08:38 AM

It's a beauty. Love the YG.

oldman2005 · 8 May 2019, 08:41 AM

The TT SD43 is beautiful but would hang on to the SS SD43 as Rolex may cut the production of SS SD43 to push this TT version

Harry-57 · 8 May 2019, 08:45 AM

I like it. I bet it will look impressive in the metal. I doubt I would want to own one.

Dr. Robert · 8 May 2019, 08:47 AM

I like it too!

brandrea · 8 May 2019, 08:52 AM

I’m still stuck on NO

I have to admit it looks good, but I hate the idea of the SD going TT. Call me sentimental

BobDyl · 8 May 2019, 08:55 AM

Flawless execution. Really like this piece.

crazycarlitos · 8 May 2019, 08:57 AM

if TT is ur thing, might as well be the SD43.

wonder what it would look like as a hot-tub rosegold...

GradyPhilpott · 8 May 2019, 08:59 AM

I don't dislike it, but it's not something I'd spend my money on, though.

SS Oyster · 8 May 2019, 09:02 AM

Really dislike: I would not want one for any reason.

I like it very much. It will work well on rotation with other pieces, no doubt.

Very nice.

tkc324 · 8 May 2019, 09:49 AM

I think TT SD will have a strong following like th TT sub black. I personally like the bluesy better still...

Just saw a two tone explorer on offer here...

Likestheshiny · 8 May 2019, 10:51 AM

I like the TT black sub a lot, and this is basically just that but bigger. I'd personally go for the sub first, but for the bigger-wristed the SD looks like a fine option.

Agreed. I don’t understand what the big deal is. The current SD is basically a larger sub, cyclops and all. The TT sub has been around for a while, so the TT SD43 doesn’t seem like a stretch at all. The argument that the SD is more of a “tool” than the Sub and should therefore be immune from PM is such baloney.

galveston22 · 8 May 2019, 11:28 AM

Looks killer. I can’t pull of a 43mm however.

Not for me... I'm not into PCLs on oyster and not big on TT either. But I love my SS SD43.

Totally agree with this. Personally I’d choose a few different references/brands, especially at this price point, but I can see the appeal of this.

TeddyS · 8 May 2019, 07:32 PM

The more I look at it the more I’m drawn to it. The issue for me is, given the choice and all three put out in from of me would I choose the TT SD43 over the SS Skydweller or the 126660 James Cameron... I’m not so sure. If I could get all three however my Rolex line up would be complete
