Very interesting. I don't hate it, I don't know if I like it yet but I do like the romans. It has an annual calendar and the bezel rotates to interface with the movement function, that piece is gonna be priced through the roof, guaranteed.

I really like the new DJII without the flueted bezel!! And the no date ceramic sub is very sharp.

BTW....this should go in the general discussion forum.

I think it's disgusting...

*EDIT*

I'm happy Rolex finally added a complication to the line, but this is just wrong. When I think 'dweller' I think 'tool watch'. Not a DJII with a red arrow and 50 different font styles on it.

I totally agree....And it's white gold, not even steel. It's going to be well over $25k anyway.

Never liked the look of Rolex models and this does nothing to change my views.

It will take some getting used to. I don't hate it but I don't love it either.

Nice to see that they are trying something new, adding complications/features, but the execution is poor. When are they going to get rid of the crystal ruining cyclops!

I think the Roman numerals killed the overall look... complication is a tad unique... like the bezel interaction with the movement... not so keen on the price...

EDIT: Saw a chocolate dial with Arabics on ****** just now... looks much better...

Don't like it at all but good to see a no date Sub back in the fold.
