You can confirm this on the web. The SBDX001 Marinemaster is a $2k usd watch so bleh.

There's two ways they can go. They can either remove these models but I doubt they're doing this. The 17/33/35 sells well so they're most likely improving them.

The Alpinist might go with different colours ie. blue black.

Been thinking about the 17, the 33/35 I dont have any feelings for.

  Finally, the answer to the question we have all been asking.

  I'm sorry about intruding on your forum folks, I know its pretty petty on my behalf given these watches have been posted multiple times here on sale but I guess I'll console myself as being quite pathetic but not quite as pathetic as people who have to criticise a few mins after posting.

    It is not petty. Your post is valid advice for anybody considering buying one of these watches.

  033 is a nice watch.

    As far as my aesthetics go, the 33/35 was too safe, too conservative and at 38mm probably a tad small and old fashioned for today's taste.

    They were probably a hit with the enthusiasts but that doesnt mean that much in the scheme of things?

    They're probably going to 40-42mm at the least because you know, big watches.

  And its great to see amazon and all the outlets hike up prices by $50 and then some. supply and demand at work.

  Also means its good for owners whose watches just appreciated.
