·The one thing I like about these is they don't do radial flip with the numbers / numerals. It's a constant rotation - none turn over at the bottom of the dial.

··The ArchitectI think Ashley is right. It could be the "new 3135", minus whatever module is underneath it in that photo.
The Sky-Dweller has received ton of negative remarks on ΩF and other sites, and frankly, I don't think it deserves the hate. The design itself seems a very "safe" evolution of the DDII with added complications. Although the appearance is not particularly revolutionary or exciting, I think they're still going to make quite a few sales to the Rolex crowd. Over all, I find it much more classy than something like the YMII.
Personally, I'm not a fan of the off-center GMT ring and how it cuts in to the Romans. I'm not sure why they choose to display the full ring when a single viewing window would be far cleaner and un-clutter the dial.
Edit: Also, for the same price you could get a Patek ☕

··Ash @ ΩFWe're talking about the Patek comparison, but once you start looking at the JLC annual calendar comparison, the value position gets even worse, and who in their right mind would take a complicated Rolex over a complicated JLC?

·Most of us are probably exaggerating our view. I'd certainly rather have that Rolex than a Big Bang, any Jonny Sonbul, U-boat, or whole line of Invicta watches.

··Ash @ ΩFI'd say something but I'm not allowed to comment on Cartier anymore 🙁

·What about Cartier? Panerai? 😀
There are a couple Cartier models I wouldn't mind having, especially a tank. And some of the older 40 mm Panerai with blue dials (069, 119/120, 282/283) are actually good looking watches as well as the black waffle dialed 40 mm Luminor. I wouldn't pay the kind of money that either brand seems to command though.

·Not a Rollie fan but this isn't too bad. The name is ridiculous but the face isn't bad. Ditch the fluted bezel and the oversized numbers and put it into a Breguet case in white gold with a silver center ring and you have a winner. A subtle way of saying that Breguet would have done it justice.
