Rolex updates: Dials and calibers.

Rolex.com updates are basically just dials for the DJ, Daytona meteorite and a two tone Explorer.


Oh and also, it seems Rolex has hired swatch dial-making company.

Glacial Blue hours markers have been changed to grey from dark blue in Platinum DD40.

Seconds hand remains dark blue, hours and minutes move to grey to match dial hour markers

Never liked the 214270 MK1 or MK2; imagine those who like it will make prices reach sky high just because it’s discontinued !

What about the ice blue quadrant motif dial with romans on the DD40 platinum? They have a regular ice blue dial now instead.

That was one of my favorites too. I like it better than the regular ice blue dial that they have now.

Haha

I wish for $1,000 more they'd give you both bracelets and a quick release option like the VCO.

Not seeing much mentioned about the Sky D being offered on jubilee in 2 tone.

I think it looks great.

I’m happy they brought back the oyster to SS GMT. I like it more the GMT on the Jubilee is beautiful but just not my taste. I’m down for these two on Oyster. Especially since I missed out on the original BLRO.

The meteorite Daytona’s are very stunning as well on the OF..

Pretty underwhelming...
On the other hand, JLC's new Reverso made my heart skip a few beats:

For a post-Covid-19 year ahead (hopefully) — it’s a small success.
