Yep, leave it to our "trusted" TRF dealers
MSRP of something like 9250 will be 15K for sure
Careful, TRF mods read this site. You'll get banned.
I hope so.

FIXED! On this one.
Will wonders never cease!
Seriously though...that's good news.
I don't want to see a GMT Pelagos, but on the BB...it's a better proposition.

There is a collar, but it’s silver like on the Ranger.
That's good, no color collar, you know the one that peels and deteriorates
Wait...did Tudor fix the collar collar, or is it still the same old???
I was under the impression of the latter...
It's some kind of collar it's just no longer painted to the scheme of the watch.

If it is a collar, it's much smaller.

Ok this thread is so long it’s hard to read on new “no page” tapatalk.....
I really like the new Pepsi gmt on jubilee. Looks great. But I also like the old ones.
So, what’s the big deal? When is the last time they made a Pepsi gmt? It must be longer than I thought.

Looks like the cheaper 6R15 version of the new LE, similar to how the 051/053 were to the SLA017.

Case looks nicely finished. The hands look weirdly fat though.

Collar is still there, but plain aluminum instead of colored.

Dammit but do I want the new Deepsea - redesigned lugs, less tapered bracelet, new movement. And you get the choice of D Blu or Black. I think this one will be a winner.

Definitely Todd, looks like they followed 62mas route. I'd take it for a spin for $500 from creationwatches

I guess it was too much to hope for!
So aside from the Hammy I bought, nothing new that piques my interest so far.

For sure. MM300 style case and finishing for 6R15 price is a winner.

Love my "OG" D-Blue
Interesting that they are moving this to a full production model. Do you think this will affect the pricing at all for the current D Blues in the secondary market?

The original D-Blue was a 4 yr run so very limited in Rolex terms.
Kinda like the EZM1 vs the 1.1 - yes the 1.1 is technically better but the OG is still holding its value.
It might take awhile but I think (hope) the D-Blue MK1 will be the same - it's the original one commemorating JC and the dive.
I never had a problem with the bracelet that many have because I wear mine a little loose and I actually like a bit of wobble back and forth - just the thing the new bracelet is supposed to fix.

For $6k, that big boy better be a whole lot more wearable in person than it looks.

This one doesn't do anything for me since I have a MM300. I'm a Seiko fan and I've come to loath the 6R15. It's time they upgrade it or fix the issues. Only one of the six I've had kept good time, the other 5 were way worse than any 7s26 I've owned.
