Rolex 'Celebration Dial' - Win, Troll or Both?

Ойын-сауық

When I first saw the announcement of this watch I wasn't a fan. I think many watch fans would agree- it looks chaotic. And the watches it celebrates had such a short production run it seems like Rolex is trolling its customers (or more accurately non customers) with this release.
I have to say, in person, the watch is excellent. Count me as a fan of the execution. Fingers crossed that it is widely available and has a nice long production run... LOL

    I was always an OP36 guy but I recently tried on one of the new 41. Holy shit the silver with the gold indices is the nicest Rolex I’ve ever seen. I think it’s the only time they’ve used yellow gold hands and indices on a full steel watch. It’ll be a classic if ever discontinued

    I asked my AD for it the day it came out. James and Sons listed me for it and these are the same good people who sold me a Panda and other watches. I’m very hopeful especially because they haven’t called to say they can’t do it. So the hope is still there. This is the coolest Rolex I will ever have a shot at. There are a couple in Chrono for 30-35K. I can’t bring myself to speculate to that degree but I think one day hindsight will kick us in the butt for not buying them yesterday. I know of at least one regular Joe who has taken retail delivery of this watch. I’m hopeful but not really expecting it to happen for me because my AD may never see one and certainly they need to prioritize their best customers first. But it feels good to still have hope-like having a lottery ticket well before the drawing. Good video Bruce!

    A couple of thoughts: 1. From day 1, I thought this was pretty cool. I mean, we're talking about a brand so conservative that the internet goes insane when they change the case size of a watch by 0.5mm. Letting their playful side out is well received from me. 2. Rolex can do no wrong. They could put a poo emoji (or palm fronds) on a dial and it would sell gangbusters. They could force customers to sign a contract assigning their first born child to Rolex to replace their aging Oompa Loompa population and people would be lining up (well, and saving money, child care is expensive). We both know Rolex isn't for me, but I approve of this watch vehemently and nobody can change my mind about it. :)

    April 2024 here - this will be discontinued in 2 days time (April 9th). My AD told me these were pretty much impossible to get. In the year since it launched they got 5 celebration dials, 2 x 34mm, 2 x 36mm and 1 x 41mm.

    I was the exact same… thought it was garish when I first saw it but now want it. Would be a great collectors piece and conversation starter. I have the coral one. Generally speaking, I find the ones to be most interesting are the ones non collectors find the ugliest. My non collector friends think the Pepsi, Hulk and Coral OP are so ugly…. And those are by far my favourite.

    Pure pandering to investors no normal people will be able to get it , it will go up in value though due to scarcity. It doesnt match anything certainly not suit friendly , makes me wonder how many people actually like it and how many just see $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Most of them will live in safes and never see light of day. The single colour ones are cool though and will be worn .

    What exactly do you mean? Rolex trolling their customers? They do that since many years with their "waiting list" bs so why shouldn't they do it with a watch? But on a serious not that is by far the ugliest watch I have ever seen. Even the cheap winky dinky Mao watches you can buy at Chinese fake markets are not as ugly as this one. Celebrating by making a fool out of your customers. Yeah, that seems like Rolex style.
