I like that DeepSea, but that is probably my 1985 hip hop personality speaking. Thankfully that version of me only exists in my memory or imagination now, so I am never gonna be a buyer for that watch, but I do kinda like it. I'd love to try on tbf. The new GMT is the first GMT I have ever liked, not had any interest in the other more colourful versions. If I won the Lotto, I'd skip all the diamond set Daytona, I'd go for a precious metal day/date.

In reality people wearing real Rolexes are still a very marginal percentage of people. And I live in a town with an AD that’s 5 min away from my work and our clientele is from the rich side of town. I see maybe 1-2 a week tops but it’s stilll very much something only the top can afford reasonably. Watching Rolex videos gives an inflated sense of how they might be commonplace but in the real world it’s not so. Much often I am disappointed when I wrist check a person because it looks like they might have a Rolex (or omega/breitling) and it’s just an invicta or a citizen. Respect to my Tudor brethren out there and also respect to seiko/orient/casio wearers. Negative respect for any smartwatch especially apple

I don't get why Rolex should be obliged to have a huge year every year and reinvent the wheel. People are way too demanding.

Very true, I am sure there must be some theory behind their release! 🙌 Will certainly be interesting to see how the rest of the year plays out.
I’ll take that YG Deepsea all day.

I would have bet the farm that the Coke was coming back; this year was a huge let down.

Rolex isn't going to discontinue the pepsaaay
I don't get it, gem set in Daytona range. It's a sports watch, how does that work as a tool? It's supposed to be a tachymeter bezel 😂

I don’t understand how it will change anything…. Still can’t buy any new ones from anywhere as it is lol

Hopefully things will start becoming a bit easier 🤞
None of the Rolex new releases appeals to me personally and they certainly are moving towards sky high priced pieces giving nothing in steel and reducing the variety of dials for Datejusts. Rolex seem to be going for the super high end market leaving Tudor to take up the slack in steel watches. Some interesting watches elsewhere at W&W24 but Rolex and Tudor didn’t inspire. It wasn’t too many years ago Rolex were evolving even more slowly so we can’t expect exciting changes year on year.

You could very well be right there, trying to compete with higher end luxury brands 👍
You're the Same person who said 2 weeks ago "you have it on good authority the pepsi is being discontinued "... what you should have said - I'm a grey watch dealer and the more I convince people of scarcity the more money I make ...... Not very honest watchdealer....
So what if the pepsi did not get discontinued? It is still coming in such small numbers that it is impossible to get. The haters are gloating but the fact is you will spend years not having the watch. Buying grey just means you get to have and enjoy the piece. If by a miracle one day you get a call for one, you have a wonderful problem of having 2 super valuable GMTs. That’s it. Dealers are just market makers, doesn’t matter if over or below MSRP.

Very well put - thats exactly it! If you do eventually get the call and have two - one can always be sold on to get the premium back! 🙌 Thank you for watching mate, I really appreciate it.
At Watches and Wonders, no one stood in front of the new black/gray GMT window. Most people were looking at the new 1908 and new Daytonas. I highly doubt the market will be hot for that new GMT my friend.

Ah interesting! I think being a new steel model it will be high demand. We will have to see!
Perhaps the greatest marketing company ever, selling mass-produced, commodity-grade watches with zero innovation to the insecure... priceless
