New models
are really small in number and frankly disappointing. They should listen more to the rumors.
Not much excitement this year, the Skydweller is more affordable now
And the Sea Dweller is almost as large as the Deepsea, I agree with you, no Stainless Steel GMT Master II with the Pepsi Cerachorme dial. And the Cellini line is way too expensive even for a gold moonphase watch. Baxter
You clearly see where the market is going
a few years ago Rolex have never made a TT watch with a complicated movement like the SkyDweller's. Those was reserved for watches in precious metals.
The triangle and the rectangle don't have much sence in that watch.
I agree that we must wait another year to see for his influence in the brand's strategy. Aris
Were customers actually clamoring for a new Yachtmaster II ???
Boggles the mind. Does this model sell so many units that they had to spend cycles to update it? Come on Rolex, you're getting left behind by your little brother Tudor.
Most definitely
*affirmative head nod* Poor contrast shows up as a problem in real life use.
Would be interesting to sit through their product dev sessions...
"Yes, a Mercedes hand would do it for Basel 2017!" I wonder if that would\'ve been a eureka moment or if they just write that in the brief and go have coffee afterwards. At the very least it\'s not offensive, I\'ll give em that. Heck, not so bad actually....
