I like the new Land Dweller honeycomb dial, looks banger. Also, I’m excited about the new calibre 7135.
It's the name that kills it for a lot of us I think. It's just so... forced, unoriginal, lackluster. It needed something cool and original, like I don't know "Aeon Star" (Star of the Age). We could all come up with a better name in a few minutes.

This is the only release I like - would love this to be repped!
It probably will be but the bracelet links will be poorly finished (unfinished edges) and they'll be sharp to the touch.

This model in gold finish looks great with a black dial.

So I get that the new land dweller is not a Datejust, but isn’t it? The new case made slim and shiny with the nifty new movement and all certainly changes things, I get that. But we are now in the realm of a nice vintage day date for the price of a stainless model if I’m reading it right. And that makes me ponder the longevity or value of this model. I wonder if the prices in the 1630 are going to go up now?

So if ARF already did the blueberry, why not the Coke?

Just wanted to see how the LD would look with a DD dial fitted inside the chapter ring. The DD dial would have to carefully shaved to remove its chapter ring.

I'm old enough to remember the 70's so I just can't like this, some things, like flares, should be left behind!

You don't like the case and bracelet design bro or the DD mod?

I'm not sure I like the case and bracelet design myself, just trying it out with some different mods to see if I might want a rep of it.

I like your mockups bro. They look much better. Hoping Rolex will come out with Datejust faces instead of this hexagon slop they have

I'll wait for a simpler dial. Then I'll wait for an oyster bracelet version. Then I'll wait for the rep. It's gonna be a long ride :)

That's a nice pic for sure but the lighting makes it look like a Rose Gold with ice blue dial.

And the name - oh the name. Hive-Dweller would be more appropriate, haha. Target clientele - Beekeepers. I'm sure Jason Statham will get one.

I still don’t understand their need to put a chapter ring
Looks like an attempt to pay homage to yesteryear, along with the open 6 9 markers. Similar to the new Daytona dials with skinny markers and subdial rings.

I like your mockups . They look much better.
Click on my profile links,you will find something better
The link you keep spamming us to click doesn’t even work buddy…
And it’s probably a good idea to clear it with the mods/admin before promoting your site here on the forum.
