The Rolex Business model..
With all these colourful options and increasing cases sizes have we seen the death of Rolex conservatism and the beginning of a gradual morph into Omega? Furthermore with the New Kermit edition is it yet another sign after the WG to SS Pepsi and PM to SS ...
Rolex have been experimenting OP36 for a long time with different dial colors...
but never this bold ! my feel, it tries to appeal to 'young' crowd both men & women in its entry level offer ! i think it is a good move. New Kermit might be a disappointment to some who is betting on the 'anniversary kermit' market but then...there a...
New models 👍🏼
I think the 41 is great - bout time Much nicer than old models and happy the green puke sub is dead... Could not sell when first out and only started to be popular when they limited availability. I will buy the new nd sub no other Rolex is of interest. No...
I agree it appeals to the younger and ‘influence’ crowd... it is reasonable priced and appealing (in my eye)
It is just above Tudor models in price point and more accessible (if you can find one in the ADs). It will also appeal to the younger female crowd ... often my friends want to buy one for their daughters but they consider them ‘older’ thus thus less appea...
You can compare to Omega, indeed, but also to Panerai. Rolex always work on the quality of their watches. They don't look spectacular, most of the time, they are good watches, but...
Are we thrilled by them, that's another question. Best, Nicolas
I agree 100% with you
For me, te ND Sub would be perfect with a domed sapphire crystal. The perfect 5512-5513 descendant!!! But then I think that what’s the BB58 is for. Then I cool down 😎 But it would be awesome! Best. René
Re your comment on colour...
..in the 60’s/70’s Rolex introduced plenty of colour through various stone dials primarily in the Day Date model. In the 70’s/80’s Rolex introduced all types of coloured dials in hard enamel through what we all now know as Stella dials. These variations a...
Desirable OP's
I am disappointed to see that the OP36 with blue dial and 3,6,9 indices has been dropped from the catalogue. Does that mean mine bought less than three years ago is now collectable and at a premium?! Mine is not for sale, but every man has his price event...
With all the colors
to me it seems the company is moving into the fashion watch business. But clearly bright colors seem to sell so that is why they are producing them. I am a white or black dial person. But they offer stuff for me also so all is good.
I would say out of those pieces your named, the YM2 is the only one I would consider truly original as the others pieces are just variations of existing watches...
I would also include the SkyD for it's bezel control system. The D Blue is simply a Deepsea with a blue gradient dial so me for that is not quite original but just a change of dial. The AK could be considered original but again Rolex just changed out the ...
Thanks Gros but seems the wait is longer than I had planned. I have been 1st to receive a GMT meteorite dial from my AD since it's introduction and they still have never received one 🤷♂️🤦
Makes no sense as I see them all over the place from grey dealers. I remain patient nonetheless 🤷♂️
Maybe not another world but maybe a different type of watchmaking or different concept 😉
BTW, sent you a message on WhatsApp as well as an SMS 😉
