    Holy crap, I just heard that out of the blue (literally) FPJ just discontinued all boutique MoP dials and all boutique rose/black dials. :eek: They were very rare to begin with and now they're no more. All this just a couple of weeks after mine was delivered. I got incredibly lucky to get in before they closed cause that dial has been an obsession of mine. :)

    My favorite Rolex of all time, including all vintage and all off catalogue ones, in fact I think it's one of the most beautiful watches ever made ... huge congrats!!!

    Hopefully this is the year I get mine as well. Been waiting for the baguette version from before the refresh and I'm told I'm next. :)

    Really liking Rolex moving into the display back stuff
    Any guesses on when the Sky Dweller would receive such treatment?

    Thank you.Hopefully you get the version you wanted. Looking forward to pics when you get one!

    No telling. Their movements aren’t the “prettiest” vs other brands, but interesting nonetheless.

    Looks like they don't make the baguette version without contrast chrono rings any more, so it will be like yours. :)

    I didn't know FWIW:

    "The Middlebury, Conn., firm was the last major domestic watchmaker of the once-thriving U.S. watch industry doing any manufacturing here at all."
    ***
    "Timex opened its first plant in Little Rock in 1945. By the early 1970s, it had three there and one in Hot Springs, Ark., with some 5,000 workers, making it the largest employer in Arkansas."
    ****
    "Until last year (2001), Timex’s Little Rock factory, the last U.S. plant to make parts for a widely-sold watch brand, made cases and watch parts for 22 million watches, about 80% of Timex’s annual production. It shipped them to Timex’s watch assembly facilities in the Philippines.
