Any thoughts?

Looks big but your wrists may be small...

I like it in general but then I'm wearing my non-C SD as I type... Must change the date!

Hmm, I think that's gonna be the problem for people - the heft. That watch looks too big for that little wrist, I'm afraid.

Really want one of these as it's my 50th this year. Trouble I have at the moment is where I've bought a few Rolex's from before is no longer an AD so I can't even get my name on a waiting list anywhere and I refuse to my over the odds.

Personal choice, but the GMT is perfect on you.

I've thought since seeing the SD50 that people will buy, as will I, but that many will eventually flip them for being too big - and having that gawd-awful cyclops.

All personal choice, as I said. Enjoy it.

Me too which is why I want to know how big your wrist is.

Can we get an SD50 and DSSD side-by-side?

It looks a fair bit bigger than the GMT and smaller than the DSSD.

That much I would have thought was obvious but the SD50 does look a fair bit smaller than the DSSD.

What I find 'odd' is that there shouldn't be as much between them (going by dimensions) as the pic suggests...

I might be looking at a different picture but it looks bigger than deep sea thanks to a much larger dial without visible rehaut?

FWIW, I think that as the Daytona is a smaller piece, that it will maintain it's premium for a very long time. I'm not actually sure about this new 'dweller... Early flippers may do better than later, but it's early doors yet to make a call. Took me a very long time to decide that my DSSD was too top-heavy with that stoopidly narrow bracelet.

That fking cyclops though - Argh!

I agree with the top heavy bit there,i did notice that the dweller has a wide clasp on it than my D blue,but looks like the strap is the same? I might put a Rubber B strap i have and see how that looks,but as i said it would probley look better on some one that has man wrists! LOL

I think it's quite busy looking, there's a lot going on!

As others have said, it might be watch lots of people have for a while then sell on, took me 3 years to realise I was just never going to get on with my Deepsea, I tried it on a Rubber B (clasp type) and it looked great but ultimately didn't help!

Does look big but again as others have said, the dial doesn't have the deep rehaut so perhaps giving the illusion of a bigger entire watch

It does help that the bracelet is wider than the DSSD - very positive improvement, but why can't they add it to the DSSD???

I'm liking the look of it, I want something bigger than sub but smaller than deep sea... so hoping it's perfect.
