...what with the sky dweller and the frankly disgusting ym2 and rainbow Daytona? Really seem to be losing it to me. Gone from classic timeless design, to tacky poor taste styles

Freedom fighter · 7 April 2012, 08:35 PM

Not worried at all....on the other hand the new ceramic subs, explorer 2s, NEW ss yachtmaster etc are all outstanding pieces.......Rolex still got game!

No.

astrazen · 7 April 2012, 08:37 PM

Worried? No. Much more important things to worry about mate.

travisb · 7 April 2012, 08:38 PM

Although I don't like some of the modes / new releases I still LOVE what Rolex has to offer.
I think if looking through the entire line that there is a watch for all tastes.
Just my opinion. Never thought I would like the wider lugs and ceramic bezels but now I absolutely love it over the classic profesional models.

Oyster1982 · 7 April 2012, 08:42 PM

As long as Rolex still offers the classics like the DJ, DD, Sub and GMT I will be happy.

freddyttt · 7 April 2012, 08:57 PM

There are many flavors of people in the world. people with huge money(rap stars for one who like Bling) to me

with not so much money who like classic. why cover one with-out the other.

mjclark32 · 7 April 2012, 09:16 PM

Nope, I'm not worried.

RRGHOST1 · 7 April 2012, 09:30 PM

Not worried in the slightest as i actually love the SkyDweller,the only problem is i havnt got the money to get one and probably never will.The Yachtmaster is ok and the Daytona is good,no problems.

Passionata · 7 April 2012, 09:30 PM

actually i still can sleep...

Qristian · 7 April 2012, 09:40 PM

If Rolex started to make digital watches, I'd be worried.

HL65 · 7 April 2012, 09:43 PM

Not at all.

globalmedia33 · 7 April 2012, 09:49 PM

Why worry about Rolex? Are they not making enough money? I do have other important things to worry about.

hng · 7 April 2012, 09:55 PM

The only worry I have is that prices are going up...:D

WhatTheDeuce · 7 April 2012, 09:56 PM

I worry more about gas prices

superdog · 7 April 2012, 10:16 PM

I love the sport series, the dj's, the dd's and really most of the line up. Love the direction of the most newer models. No worries.

nauticajoe · 7 April 2012, 10:20 PM

I'm sure they know what they're doing. There is always an audience for every model that Rolex sells, even the YM's & rainbow Daytona's.

Fiery · 7 April 2012, 10:24 PM

Most watch makers have diamond encrusted models in their lineup. There's a market for such watches as well. IMHO with the Sky-Dweller Rolex did their best, and I'm sure they will succeed. And there's the new all-steel DJ II, the new YM, and the new Sub-C ND to balance out the rainbow Daytona and the diamond encrusted DD/DDII variants. I think Rolex offer something for everyone, their lineup is quite diverse and balanced now.

tomchicago · 7 April 2012, 11:14 PM

Yes new direction is not great I agree. I've tried on most of the new watches (larger cases, etc) & rather than enticing me to buy the new models, they've made me want to keep my old ones more.

Maxfli · 7 April 2012, 11:18 PM

Things I worry about:

• The sun going super nova
• World hunger
• My receding hairline

Rolex doesn't make the list.

kilyung · 8 April 2012, 12:08 AM

Somehow I think they'll be fine.

Joey_V · 8 April 2012, 12:21 AM

Not worried... Rolex is still awesome.

Worried? Come on man...

JPersat · 8 April 2012, 12:30 AM

As long as there is a vintage market, I could care less what things Rolex comes out with. The day I will start worrying about Rolex itself, is when they discontinue the regular models and only offer the wild and crazy models. Until then, whatever your preference of flavor, wear it in good health.

McLovin · 8 April 2012, 12:30 AM

Tudor is appealing to me more than the current Rolex line. If Tudor picks up where Rolex left off with tool watches like the Pelagos, I won't complain.
