Talking about new releases....(modern Rolexes inside)
I took a few quick phone pictures of some of my favourite Rolexes offerings.
I flirted a second or two with vintage,to come to the conclusion that...its not for me.
Unfortunately(or fortunately) I did not catch the bug,emotionally I am not moved by a watch owned by somebody else,or for that matter,not complete or.....mine.
Thats life......,I realised I can only have watches that grow old(or vintage) with me,where I am the original user and abuser,a painful realisation in the Rolex world as the majority of attention is devoted to old glories and the new offerings seem to attract opposite comments,but always with a little attitude of dismissal.
Anyway,I was walking by the boutique the other day when my eyes fell on this beauty....not a 2014 novelty per se,but a recent watch,which I always saw just on pictures...I was too curious....
Here we are in the presence of a peculiar watch....horologerie has little to do with it,this is more a statement.....a very cool one.
So heavy and hefty,almost too much,but what a presence...the colour combinations just stunning...arguably my favourite Daytona combination....in steel I would go for it in a heart bit .
Again,this is more jewellery for man than a geeky watch per se.....but so charming.
This year Rolex delivered a new version with extra bling factor...I must say in a very discreet way.....I prefer the version without diamonds as markers,but good job anyway.
Finally ,the watch that impressed me the most.
I always wanted one......the Rasta as Nico called it...a fun tool watch for the summer,a very present personality......
With anticipation,I always wanted to see this years version with blue dial....maybe too much?maybe a lot?....well...NO! It works....look!
It looks so good.....I will let the initial craze to come down and then I think I will go for it......the sensation to wear a Rolex ,especially in the summer months, is so nice.
This could be a perfect addition to my stable.
What do you think?

i think i love the baguette Platona...
...not for the diamonds, but, imho, the dial is really good, even better than the """standard""" Platona :) thanks for sharing. ciao, chris
Nice he?....I am impressed as well
I don t know if the Purist in me will allow it but.....dam I like it! Ciao Mo
I've handled the blue dial Milgauss in person.
It really is a handsome watch. I prefer it to the black dial.
As for Vintage watches, let me demonstrate you are wrong.
One picture. Hmmmm? As for the 2 watches you posted, now. The Dayto Platinum... Much better in the real than on photos, that is for sure. But it doesn't sing to me... I am at the limit of the acceptable with tis combination of colors. Same for the Blue G...
For that kind of second hand......you got me!!!!
But she doesn t look like "life companion"material........:):) Unfortunately,no vintage for me it seems....there is too much to achieve in the new offerings .... As for the Pt Dayto..its cool I think...But with that premium you can achieve a fantastic wat...
LOL..ROFL!!
Sir, I never thought that could be a reply to a vintage owning disappointment/lack of enthusiasm opinion...brilliant retort :) warm regards, Asad
My friend...
again I must salute you for your straight and sincere principles! Love the way you explained why vintage word is not for you. I did same exercise few times in my mind (sadly my bank account allows me to do such exercise only in my mind :) ) and must tell ...
Thank you my friend...
for sharing a feeling on these crazy tic toc machines..... To each his own I suppose,and thats the beauty of this world.... The blue Mil....mmmmm I really like it... Mo
would love one!
It would make a great summer watch. Sadly it is too expensive. In the end it is just a Rolex Daytona without a special movement or finishing justifying the hard $$.$$$,$$
Amazing, Fernando!
So happy for you! Please, keep the photos coming! All the best, Alex
Mo....
....right from the very first release, we both thought the Milgauss in blue might be nice...i have yet to have one on my wrist, but I think I will (once again) follow your lead on the Milgauss. I think its really cool. For me, the Daytona is a no-go. Two ...
Ha ha...brown and blue can bed cool you know..
Depends on the tones.....I really like the subtle icy light blue of this dial..... Anyway,on the Mil...well you will like it live I promise,its very catchy,I d be surprised if it won't find a space in your collection..... Mo
You know I love a Rolex....
In fact wearing my sub now :). I've also seen both dato's and I prefer the new version as the diamonds are very subtle and I like the sundial's better. I agree with you on the vintage..... I love to be the first to unwrap her.....the only exception would ...
Always tempted with a new Rolex.....:)
I do like the Sea Dweller 4000 but I fear it is too similar to my Sub which I love and been wearing all week. I'm hoping for a trip down south in the next month or two so I'll be in touch.... I need a break after the past few months..!! Yours my friend, A...
I tried on the Daytona Plat recently...
and thought it was was really cool watch... even though I am a non-Rolex fan. It had the weight and the colour combination was striking. You should get one Mo... The Milgauss, well it has orange on it (bonus) but I never saw the beauty in this combination...
Lets get two!!!!
we will look a million dollars on the beach!!!! Well its not a cheap purchase.......needs thinking.... Mo
Could be a plan... also need to find the beach as not sure Brighton will work :)
However... I want mine on a matching Nato for summer style :) Cheers Andrew
Love the platinum Daytona, but the Milgauss is so irreverent....
That it may sing to me once I get to handle one in person, Mo. I am with you that summer means Rolex ;-). Always great to read your posts, my dear friend. Cheers, Alex
