I get the doubts though, totally justified. There are indeed so many lies in the Rolex world. I stand 100% behind my article. I don’t own an LV, new or old.

I also think it’s a breath of fresh air that Rolex doesn’t trumpet an anniversary change. It’s done and over done. In my opinion, we have too many anniversaries; we even have too many releases every year.

I think we can accept that the colour change is real and stop entertaining the clowns who want more proof.

Roses are red, violets are blue. The old one is green, lime is the new.

My guess is it's a rendering error.

I have checked both bezels with my Zami AFD 1423 Spectrometer and confirm that both bezels are the same colour.

It's hard to know which will be the collectible. What will happen if the "new" one is only for 2023?

That’s why diversification is so important. Get both. Don’t have your eggs in one basket

It’s clear the bezel green color is different



Do you guys think that the previous one will be a collectible piece ?

Should we give the new release a different name other than Starbucks or cermit ?

Bezel is not as important as say a dial.

For example, Kermit with the flat four is still a Kermit. The bezel is what has value but my question will be, will you need the card to prove the bezel is original to the watch? What if the old bezel sits on a new watch with no card? Still a premium? How will you know? Something tells me this will be very hard to date and will not pan out into much of a premium because if it.

Such controversy. I have the LV and will exchange mine for the new lime version if someone prefers the greener version. I don’t care.

If the pics tell anywhere near the correct story I much prefer the lighter bezel. I thought the mk1 was too dark, it didn't really pop.
Looking forward to getting in one now.

Live and direct from WW lots of people as you can guess, I confirm that the green Is different! Although the new one is under light spectrum and I can’t get the same light on mine, it looks definitely different!

Have a nice weekend
Guys !!
