Member X 91 Posted March 23, 2011 As I said on RWI, I'm underwhelmed by this and the other new Rollie models, they just aren't very 'wow'. They've had several years to think about improvements and all they can do is add ceramic bezels to their current range and whack a 4-figure sum on top of the current price? I know they're generally slow to respond to market trends but seriously... That sort of Daytona, especially, is everything I have always despised about Rolex - it's not done for any other purpose than to be expensive and make owners go "look how rich I am" I still love some of their designs, I can't deny it, but they just design things to cash in rather than actually make any meaningful step forward in watch design...

Ska 11 Posted March 23, 2011 Well I love it - I love the Half SEL - Half Lug thing going on with a leather strap. Great look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prestigewatchco 2 Posted March 23, 2011 I am just interested to know what size it is traditionally Rolex have increased the size when they add ceramic and the factory had an oversizes daytona a few weeks ago Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David543 0 Posted March 23, 2011 I think it looks great but contemporary designers are doing something either new or affordable. Rolex are providing more of the same but massively increasing the prices. I think the is something special about the designes but the prices have increased absurdly. The Ball Watch company can produce genuine Swiss watches with amazing durability for £1,800 on a small scale so how come Rolex want £5k or £6k? Our reps are not as good as the genuine but they are not £6k worse!!! Rado can make the entire watch out of ceramic and only charge £1,600 - £2.2k. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Member X 91 Posted March 23, 2011 Exactly my thoughts ^^^ I mean, I've seen the YM (full size) in my local AD increase from £6k to £6990 or something, in a little under 4 months... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A new Daytona in Submariner case with BIG date. A New Explorer II with bi-compax chronos and date at 6. A new Explorer 1, looks standard. A new GMT, can't see anything different in it. 4newrolexes by Hugh_Jorgen, on Flickr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A new Explorer 1, looks standard. A new GMT, can't see anything different in it. In order of the above... Dogs dinner This just looks weird - and why do you need a chrono on a GMT watch?? I actually love this - is it 36mm or 39mm? If it's 39mm, this is eminently rep-able and I will be buying one when it is... Clean, crisp, makes a statement without being OTT. +1 - what have they changed?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NFleischer 4,355 Posted March 23, 2011 I like this Daytona, but I won't buy it. Is every watch maker adding something useful to each new model- ie. AP,Hublot, Chanel, etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Member X 91 Posted March 25, 2011 Balders - Are you sure that pic of the 4 rolexes is not a fantasy photoshop?
