This year is a godsend to me.

Time to buy some more houses.

You too my friend. Real Estate is where the real money making is at the moment. Going bonkers.

I believe most Rolex owners prefer the absence of significant change (and I have several of them) but I find my interest in the brand has gone way down as the only thing Rolex seems to have on their plate is bezel, dial and size changes. I have generally moved on to smaller and more adventurous brands.

Nonetheless, they are a great sturdy piece.

I too let out a big sigh of relief this morning after seeing the lackluster new releases.

My wallet is very pleased with the 2021 announcements.

I will turn my attention back to Ticketmaster and Live Nation for recreational spending.

evo63 · 7 April 2021, 10:13 PM

The speculation and hype was bound to lead up to disappointment in the actual reveal. I have said it before but the 5 days between the teaser release and the reveal are the most fun, with an abundance of optimistic and bold predictions, and then the reveal itself is usually a disappointment to most.

Ditto- was just talking the other day with a friend how much $$ we are willing to spend to go see live concerts in NY/NJ/PA should the governors give their blessings ..

JodyHighroller · 7 April 2021, 10:12 PM

I think they trolled a majority of the speculators lol.

I love the new stone dial on the DD40 RG and kinda digging the meteorite dials on the Daytona. The palm tree on the DJ36 is neat too! Overall, not bad. Very shocked at axing the 39mm Exp I and going back to 36mm. Not to mention a two tone!

Have to fully agree with you!

Thinking about those quickly rising prices for the Polar on the gray market... To end up with a watch that is essentially the same with a somewhat wider bracelet and the new movement. Bet a few are feeling like ...

I was on the camp of those who would not have minded a ceramic insert (heresy!) but are enjoying the irony of the self-disappointment for a release that is very much Rolex: super continuity with minimal changes.

Peace!

They totally trolled the speculators by not discontinuing certain watches.

Tudor seized the day.

Yellowfury · 7 April 2021, 10:20 PM

Scrambling to get in touch with my SA. I told him I’m looking at the explorer 1 months ago but now that it’s 36 I can’t fit the new model. Gotta hope a 39mm somehow makes it into my hands.

RTG · 7 April 2021, 10:20 PM

I couldn’t be happier! EXPII update is exactly what I hoped for. Same as before with a weekend worthy power reserve. I’ll order my long awaited polar today.

New DD and DJ dials are beautiful.

More GMT and SKY-D bracelet options are a plus...but given scarcity kind of a moot point. Wonder if the new Jubilee blue sky-d will go for more than the oyster?

Meteorite Daytonas will be a big hit IMO.

Never wanted a 36mm or 39mm Explorer but I am glad Rolex is listening to there collector base.

So happy they kept the EXPII mostly unchanged. I would have been very disappointed if it shrunk in size or went to ceramic.

JohnGingerwood · 7 April 2021, 10:21 PM

Yaaaaawn

All those explorer II images going around with the ceramic bezels made me laugh. There was no way Rolex was going to make those.

Calatrava r · 7 April 2021, 10:26 PM

The Daytona anniversary in two years may be interesting. It is curious there is always so much hype pre release where Rolex evolves slowly within their time tested lines. A huge release would actually be something they do not regularly do. The continuity of the product line is what helps the retained value of their watches. So there is an upside and a rationale to ho-hum releases.

Absolutely. That was a no brainer.

braveheart09 · 7 April 2021, 10:22 PM

i’m very pleased with expy 1 and expy 2 new releases! my current polar 216570 is just minimally modified for it’s 50th anniv commemoration edition. it’s an affirmation that 216570 is an excellent masterpiece! most of all the return of 36mm size not only in expy 1 shows that such size is classic and more proportion than the 41mm sizes!
