Rolex

I love it when a watch surprises me and delights me against all expectations and against my usual taste . I'm neither a Rolex guy, nor a regatta guy, nor a fan of the blue , white , and red color combination (which reminds me of too many flags ), and I've...

When I had it on the wrist a few weeks back, I was positively suprised. For me the most interesting Rolex model this year.

I wish I had the wrist size to pull it off ;-) Best, Emmanuel

iteration, Emmanuel. It’s still not something I would ever look to add to my collection regardless of the improvements. Thanks for the excellent post!

I’m not considering it either. But I still find it really appealing (unexpectedly for me). Best, Emmanuel

I clearly couldn’t pull it off, but I really like the look. Best, Emmanuel

is one of Rolex’s most interesting, with the Sky-Dweller (for me).

This is the best version in my opinion by far.

but nice transformation over the years. The latest (in steel) looks quite attractive indeed, although it would still be too big for my wrist, I think. Thanks for detailing the changes, Emmanuel.

The white dial does look much duller/muted on the gold version.

And what a nice complication ! Best, Emmanuel

Still not one I would consider buying tbh .

both because I’m not into Rolex and I couldn’t pull it off. Still, I think the complication is great and I really like the look of this redesigned version. Best, Emmanuel

This new one at the first glance looks like a white dial GMTII on steroids. I’m in the collection reduction stage so no purchase for me.

GMTII on steroids is a way to put it I guess ;-) Best, Emmanuel

Keep us posted when you try one on! Best, Emmanuel
