Spotted this beauty hidden amongst the new releases for 2022. Small change from the Matt black dial on the original release, but I think it’s awesome!

Caught my eye as well. Will need to see in person before I decide whether I'm upset over my current YM42 or need to upgrade

SS Oyster · 30 March 2022, 05:15 PM

Seems cool ... will have to see in the flesh.

GW44 · 30 March 2022, 05:17 PM

At first glance I thought it was a defective image/picture…..definitely need to see it in the flesh that dial.

I thought the same thing

Horationelson · 30 March 2022, 06:20 PM

I’d expect you’ll see variation across individual dials, as with meteorite and eisenkiesel etc. which only adds to the charm.

PatekPhobic · 30 March 2022, 07:06 PM

Very interesting dial

rlj676 · 30 March 2022, 09:56 PM

I like it a lot. Too bad not in my price range…

A TI version with that dial on the other hand, perfect!

samson66 · 30 March 2022, 10:01 PM

Looks like a defect dial. I dunno, not working for me

Well, if you do decide you need to upgrade, hit me up.

I'm thinking I'm with you on this, however, I'm not sure WTF a falcon's eye is? Am I missing something?

harvey · 30 March 2022, 11:04 PM

…looks like it’s been scrapped against a wall.

I wonder if it will look better in person? I love the Tiger Eye Dials of yesteryear, and this is a gray/blue version of that stone. But I get it - not for everyone.

Also, it simply might not photograph well. It's very difficult to photograph the meteorite dial - it's simply much prettier in the metal.

tarmatimes · 31 March 2022, 05:40 AM

I love it already

TswaneNguni · 31 March 2022, 05:41 AM

I think this model is knocked unnecessarily.
We haven't even seen decent pics of it .

My old dictum : You cannot judge it until seen in the metal .

It may just be fantastic.

interestedinwatches · 31 March 2022, 05:44 AM

Reminds me of a storm? If they named it that I think it would hit harder lol

Terrible dial, the more I see it, the uglier it looks to me.

nosignalbmwdriver · 31 March 2022, 06:24 AM

looks like the dial was damaged but the name is marketable. it’ll sell for sure

sgarrity · 31 March 2022, 06:25 AM

It looks defective. WTH were they thinking?

VegasBaby · 31 March 2022, 06:26 AM

That's a great looking dial!!! Rolex should have put it on watches that most are interested in!!

The best Rolex dials usually look like crap in pictures. Meteorite for example. Depth, crispness and clarity are totally lost in pictures. They don't photograph as well as the flat, matte colors.

Possibly. Right now though, judging from the pictures, this Falcon's eye dial is an eyesore (pun intended).

Jfullm42 · 31 March 2022, 07:49 AM

I saw this last night as well, absolutely love it, just really wish it was 40 not 42 ugh

VogelPhoenix · 31 March 2022, 07:51 AM

Don't "get" the dial on pictures; maybe it will all become clear in real life.

Rrpdc · 31 March 2022, 07:56 AM

I’m liking it !

Daveclock · 31 March 2022, 08:03 AM

I think it looks like the sea on that one, and therefore suits the YM
To me it harks back to Rolex use of stone dials from the 70's
It will have a depth and 3D like quality and will shimmer/sheen in the light.
Each dial will be unique.
Falcons Eye is a blue variety of quartz. It is a member of the chalcedony mineral family AFAIK

SS Oyster · 31 March 2022, 11:07 AM

Incredibly cool dial! Drool ….

Star of the show for me honestly, can’t wait to see this in person
