Supposed new Rolex line up...

Post by 93 Turbo » Wed Apr 07, 2021 3:13 am

https://www.rolex.com

Above is the link I pinched from TRF, nuthin real exciting.

Explorer 1`s back to 36mm (pre owned 39mm model has now jumped $2K)

GMT II Pepsi now comes on a oyster bracelet, looks great but it'll be next to unobtanium here in Australia...

New movement in the Exp II, no external changes.

I'm sure there is more stuff to add, but I'm being lazy because I'm only mildly interested... J
Strength is = 2 or > than "tipping over a so- called smart car plastered in “Coexist” bumper stickers".

Amazingly, they actually lowered the price on the E1 (I think).

I think down $200, but is the 39MM no longer offered?

I may have to get in line for the Explorer I.
Happy they brought it back to the right size.
Miracles do happen. As soon as I saw 36mm Explorer I thought Andrea is gonna be out of all excuses :lol:

They’re also releasing a TT model, which is surprising given that it’s the explorer. But it doesn’t look half bad from the pics I’ve seen.

I’m not sure what to make of the “new” Exp II. Nice to have a new movement, but other than that it’s the same watch (Hodinkee speculates that the lugs may be slimmer from pics, but Rolex hasn’t confirmed). Maybe it’s good to have one offering that isn’t changed too radically.

No. I don't think Shorty would wear that either.

Serious question. Is this the only TT no-date watch in a DJ'ish case? If so, I can sort of understand it. The real mystery is when will the TT Explorer 2 come out? Rolex has now TT'd the SD and the Explorer 1. The Explorer 2 is next.

I don’t know the answer but GDI even the hands and hour markers/numerals are yellow...

I guess TT must be desirable given how many companies are adding one or more to their lineup (or expanding them). I actually think this one looks okay for a TT, but I have no interest in general. I wonder if they're thinking this will be more appealing to women given the size. Although every investment banker and bond trader was wearing a 36mm TT datejust in the 1980's.

As I mentioned in another thread, new Exp II has some subtle changes. Black dial hands are now all SS instead of partially blacked out. White dial markers and hands are now matte black instead of gloss. Case shape looks a little slimmer and dial looks a little smaller, but hard to tell on that to a certainty.

It wouldn't be my first, or even third, Rolex but if it's my eight? Sure, why not.

I'd never go TT on a DJ, but I've always loved these

I've always found the root beer GMT appealing. Maybe because Clint Eastwood used to wear one, but I think the color scheme is pretty nice.

I wish Rolex would release an updated oysterquartz type case. I really like those.

Minor update for 2021 is that Pepsi is going to be available with PCL Oyster as well as Jubilee.

Apparently all this shithead gray dealers bought up all the PT and YG/Green Daytonas in hopes that they would be discontinued and they weren't. :crybaby:

Good news is that you can now order the bracelet separately if you didn't like Jubilee. I don't wear either so no biggie

You should try it, it'll probably fit but sometimes there are weird gaps, even putting SubC bracelet on Pepsi.

I think I had, but then forgot about it. The 38mm has some decent options.
