While i was surfing on my daily craziness for new models, the internet came up with this....is this serious?

What are your thoughts about it? I mean come on.....what happened?

tomilg · 2 July 2017, 03:05 AM

Ahhh, the "Wheel of Fortune" Bezel!

Shaky · 2 July 2017, 03:05 AM

Yep it's real.

It's the one released as Basel 17

JP Chestnut · 2 July 2017, 03:07 AM

Not for me, but it's not too far off my estimation of most modern references.

It's like a Rolex designer was running with a RG Yachmaster in one hand and a bag of jelly beans in the other then tripped. The two combined and he suddenly was inspired.

tyler1980 · 2 July 2017, 03:13 AM

with the timing bezel gone how many minutes is it from the sapphire to the diamond ?

Ha ha! "Hey, you got jelly beans on my Rolex." "You got Rolex on my jelly beans."

Personally i think with this that people aren't taking Rolex serious anymore. This is some nasty ugly stuff.

I disagree, around for many years for a reason, beautifully made watch jewellery which requires character and personality to wear. Not for the grey mouse and perhaps the future Paul Newman.

The SACO is very cool in person. If I had the cash, I'd have one in my showcase with my art glass - it's modern art. It may not be to your taste, but there is nothing nasty about it.

Ah as one youtuber called it the 'candy crush' bezel...

Wesley Crusher · 2 July 2017, 04:09 AM

That's the Yacht Master "Pat Sajak"

Bingo. Pat Sajak can now join Paul Newman and Steve McQueen. This particular model can now be added to the ranks of much-heralded Rolex models named after celebrities (some who may have wore them and some who didn't)

KDS777 · 2 July 2017, 04:11 AM

Looks like a roulette wheel of sorts.

hugs · 2 July 2017, 04:53 AM

I like it.

So do a lot of people.

Rolex need to make models that people buy.

I don't like the SUV trend that is causing even sport car manufacturers to produce out of character SUVs but I appreciate the extra revenue this brings which enables them to fund R&D on their proper cars.

DGB · 2 July 2017, 05:03 AM

I love the skittles. Taste the rainbow, haters.

Not for me. But I'm sure some people like it. To each his own.

OgSnowflake · 2 July 2017, 07:08 AM

I Love it, Rolex rep told us the price at the Basel event the other night, roughly 62k for the black dial and 81k for the full diamond dial...lotta dough to be factory iced in rolex land.

I thought it was closer to 45k with just the coloured diamond bezel.

Didn't know they offered it with a diamond dial.

Or are you referring to the leopard Daytona posted later in the thread?

He is quoting dollars I believe and I take it you are talking pounds.

No - the price I recall was just over £30k

I tried to find the price but all I could find out was that the bezel is sapphire not diamond. ~£10k premium for a sapphire bezel seems about right to me?

£48,100 for that watch bang on the nose, I don't know how much the diamond faced one is though
