Seeing a unicorn...

The lefty at Frankfurt airport....

Of course, for "exhibition only". When putting it in my hands, I had this natural reaction to flip it and put the crown right smile

Anyway if anything, the lefty is a real gem and novelty. Maybe what I like most is the color of the green / black bezel. Looks fantastic!

Cheers

It is an epic tragedy ...

Will you go for it?

I would only to flip it right away!

Rolex is a flipping brand now! Then take the money and buy a higher end brand with that profit!!

Too sad.

I'm curious if and how airport Rolex ADs allocate watches.

 
 By: Uncle Chico : May 22nd, 2022-16:14
The Rolex ADs I'm familiar with in Germany only sell to customers within a specified geographic area and that must be verified with a residency document.

Being a lefty...

...I'm a sucker for destro watches. That said, it's actually more comfortable for me to have the crown on the right side of the watch as it points up my right arm rather than digging into my hand and wrist when I bend my wrist. So my heart says I should p... 

I like it! If I get one it’ll be for the right wrist..

which will be fun 🤩

The colour combination is quite something.

But I can do this while waiting 😊 ...  

One point not mentioned is the POV

 
 By: MilDiver : May 22nd, 2022-19:49
This watch is not just a left crown, abut a mirror of a "right" watch. The watch on the wrist looks absolutely stunning. But the point of view is interesting: When on the wrist, the case has no crown to disturb the case curves and the dial is clean like a...  

You got it?

 
 By: amanico : May 22nd, 2022-19:51

Of course my friend.

 
 By: MilDiver : May 23rd, 2022-04:55
Interesting, still not used to the instinct of strapping it the right way, or be it the wrong way (I always wear my watches on right wrist) Its like the moment before approaching a roundabout in a Left-hand traffic country. Case protector is for the scree...  

I love the current GMT form factor.

 
 By: MilDiver : May 23rd, 2022-05:51
I never warmed for the Ceramic sub (tried them all). my "beater" is the DeepSea which I love and wears very comfortable, the GMT gives nearly the same "it can withstand all" feeling . Thinking of it, I own the WG GMT, purchased it 2014 when SS wasn't avai... 

Pun intended

Only time will tell about going leftie…let’s see how flippers and collectors react to this crazy pricing. I guess we also have to wait and see if Rolex decides to pull this and flip the case around next year! I think Rolex may just do that… By the way, I ... 

Absolutely

 
 By: MilDiver : May 23rd, 2022-04:59
Every single time I take it to strap it on, I start the wrong way with crown to the right (on my right wrist). I wonder if the fact that I switch watches 2-3 times a day has something to do with it, my guess it does.

That's a gift , especially if you're an artist .. :-)

 
 By: MilDiver : May 23rd, 2022-05:45
But I guess habits are what defines it.

Great watch

 
 By: Jari from Finland : May 24th, 2022-14:01
I would like to buy that if I were able to get it retail price at an AD. I myself write by my left hand and wear my watches both left and right hand. That would be perfect.
