[AtomicTom]

Has everyone seen the newest from Rolex from Watches & Wonders?

First, there is a new Air King with a 40mm case, eye-catching black dial, 
stainless steel bracelet, and Caliber 3230.







Next you have the Lefty Oyster Perpetual GMT-Master with it's 40mm
Oystersteel case, black and green accented bezel, three piece bracelet,
and caliber 3825.







In addition to those two, you also have two new Yacht-Master models.
With 42mm white, or yellow gold cases, stealthy bezels, black, along
with falcon's eye dials, sporty straps, caliber 3235, and more.








You also have a new Day-Date 40 Platinum with it's 40mm platinum case,
fluted platinum bezel, colorful dials, platinum bracelet, and caliber 3255.








Hey, and there's even a new Deepsea with slimmer bezel, larger date
window, and better lume. And the FlipLock dive extension has been
replaced. Just a few details nclude 43mm cases, gradient, and black
dials, stainless steel bracelets, and caliber 3235.

You’re a credit to the forum Tom. This is the shittiest year of new watches from Rolex that I can ever recall.

The DSSD not getting a diver extension is a real kick in the nuts.

Wow, whats the point if theres no diver's extension. Ok, so it will probably rarely/never get used. But, it's not like they've reduced the $ for a less capable dive watch...

Supposedly the SD43 doesn't get one either. Somehow this year seems like a watershed time for Rolex -- they're really diverging from what I've always liked about them.

If they keep down this path next year we can have clown color subs, YAY!

If Rolex manages to keep being a commercial super-success in the coming decades, I bet the five digit models will be regarded as their zenith.
Sub, GMT, Explorer I and II all got significantly worse from there in my opinion (talking about design).

I think the short run 40mm ceramic SD might be peak Rolex. It combined the good modern build quality with a design that wasn’t TOO far from the five digits.

When that watch was a huge failure I realized that the vast majority of watch buys just want something expensive and shiny. I can’t fault rolex for selling what people want but it’s a bummer.

I don't get the falcon's eye thing at all (on what is otherwise a very cool watch). I never really paid attention to falcon's eye dials before, so my first thought was "is that REALLY what they're supposed to look like?" Turns out that it isn't. Maybe the Rolex version will look better IRL.

Yeah, for just about every market, what the true enthusiasts want is very niche compared to what sells...

Car enthusiasts want small analogue sports cars and V8 wagons.... while soft SUV's with tiny turbocharged engines are what sells, etc.... Porsche had to pivot to bloated SUV's to stay profitable. Pick your collector category and it is likely the same story...

I saw the new Air King from Rolex at Watches & Wonders and it looks amazing! The 40mm case, black dial and stainless steel bracelet are such a great combination. And with the Caliber 3230, it's sure to be a solid watch. I know some people might be put off by the idea of a "fake" Rolex, but I've come across some really high-quality replicas that make great alternatives. I fyou look for more affordable options, that still look just as good, I'd definitely recommend checking out https://www.perfectreplica.io .. Keep an open mind and enjoy the beautiful world of watches!
