Rolex

I don’t like it

 

I don’t like it, and I don’t like any of the other new releases that Rolex has presented either.


I also believe that its price is not justified in any way, neither by the unreadable dial nor by the use of the retaining ring and the platinum case back. It is a price that makes no sense at all. However, I do think there is a rationale behind it: in my view, considering also the much higher prices seen in the Rolex CPO market, there is a clear intention to reposition the current retail prices of stainless steel models closer to those of the grey market.


As a result, it is reasonable to expect that in the coming years the retail prices of stainless steel models, which in the last two years had already “lost” significant ground compared to gold models, could double.

Edit: never mind …when you go to the site and choose the black/green bezel it changes the orientation of the watch to left-handed.😳

And if I read correct…. Only some parts in platinum and all the rest steel

If you haven’t watched Ben Clymer’s video on the new Daytona on the Hodinkee website I highly recommend it. https://youtu.be/61wfz8u_Isc?si=p4bETKc2TlVoBNJS

Will probably add it to my wish list. Who knows the chances of getting it. But one can hope.

I'm really surprised at the lack of 'madness' over this watch

at least on this site. But Rolex doesn't need our help, chuckle. I personally flipped when I saw it, but shrug, nobody is getting this watch unless, well, you know the game. I honestly do feel it is overall a better bet going straight to the gray market o...
