Thanks for sharing
My 2c:
The new Sub with the larger lugs is, definitely, not for me.
I had, until few weeks back, a GMT IIC (it seems that the new Sub uses the same case) and it was not comfortable, no matter what I did.
Someday, who knows, they will regain their senses, just like Zenith (and others) did recently and release something perfect like it was the 5512/5513.

Some 2010 Rolex novelties
Dear all, After a visit at the Rolex boutique of the Place Vendôme in Paris, I propose to share with you some pics I took. These 2010 novelties have been presented to the clients of the boutique for a few days. It is obviously a good way for them to judge...
Part 1: Submariner date
If you look at this Submariner as a stand alone watch, you don't feel major differences with the previous version. In fact, that's always the achievement from Rolex: a constant evolution without a revolution. This new Submariner has a SS 904L case, a cera...
Thank you....
for this presentation..... the bezel looks shinier, more reflective.... I am I right or it is the lighting? How would you compare it to the previous version? You mention that the case is more luxurious.... how? Would you choose it over the previous one? t...
Part 2: Submariner Green Gold dial
Green is the Rolex color... this Submariner is a good way to remind us this fact. The most interesting point about this Submariner is the quality of its dial. It not not a "mere" green dial. It is a green gold dial: thanks to the materials used, the dial ...
Thanks
for these photos! While I love the maxi dial, I wasn't interested when I first saw the press kit, but with these wrist shots, I'll have to try them once they arrive at the AD!
Thanks for the great posts and pictures!
I'm curious to see this new green Rolex in person. Green is my favorite color, and I liked the previous anniversary Sub (the "Frogmariner" as some call it), but this watch is VERY green. I think perhaps if the bezel wasn't also green, it might've worked b...
Part 3: Explorer
So here it comes, the long awaited enlarge Explorer one ! I was very happy to see and to handle it: the case diameter (39mm) is perfect for my wrist and I like its slenderness. The numerals are not luminous which is not a problem for me, I think it is a b...
Very interesting pictures...
...the watch looks very nice indeed, with a good diameter and an interesting new dial. Thanks for sharing, my friend ! Cheers Jeff
Thx for sharing
Great watch as it looks. Looking forward to see it one day in real life ;-) Cheers Hans
I would have to say ...
I would have to say that the hands will be longer on the production models. First I've seen of the easylink clasp.
This....
one I would like to see in metal..... thanks for your presentation... cheers
Thank for the report, FX.
I ordered a 36mm a few weeks a go. I was wondering which one I would like the best, with your help I think some doubts have been clarified. 36mm all the way. Love it. Thanks for sharing. Vte
Part 4: Platinum Day-Date
Hare are a few pics of this new version of the Platinum Day-Date. The dial is the Glacier Blue with jeweled numerals. Caliber is the 3155. Fr.Xavier...
Part 5: WG Day Date
Here are several pics of this WG version of the Day Date II. I still don't like the fluted bezel but as always, the finishings are flawless. I find it a bit too large for its purpose but some will appreciate the 41mm diameter. Fr.Xavier...
My report is over. Big thanks...
Big thanks to the staff of the Rolex Boutique at the Place Vendôme for its availability and for the warm welcome. I hope you enjoyed these pics as I enjoyed to take them. Fr.Xavier
Well, don't really know what to think
I'm not convinced by the New Sub.... mostly due to its larger lugs. The maxi dial seems to be the rule, for osme years, now, and I quite like it. To be seen in the flesh, before any definitive judgement, indeed, but the a priori is not favorable, let's sa...
About the explorer
I think that the current trouble is that the set of hands used with the Prototype is the same, I believe, used for the 36mm version. I hope that the definitive watch will get its own hands. Or am I wrong ? Fr.Xavier
I'm a bit afraid
As I don't see Rolex presenting an imperfect proto.... Let's wait and see.... At the Rolex Boutique, they weren't able to tell you? Best, Nicolas
Thanks for your report, FX
Your insight is widely appreciated! I have my doubts on some, but will hold my judgement until I am able to handle them in the flesh. Best regards, Alex

New Sub LV more likeable ...
Thank you for the nicely taken pictures, which make me gain a much better impression of the Rolex novelties. The new Sub LV looked really horribble on some of the pictures that I saw here, but with your pics it looks a bit more appealing. But only a bit, ...
