I was expecting Rolex to sit on their laurels and add a crown guard to a watch everyone hated just 1 year ago. They didn’t dissapoint.

Was kind of hoping for a regular white dial with stick indices on the DJ36 (despise the current white dial roman numbers... too much for a small dial).

I was hoping for the exact same thing!

Expected to see the Milgauss to be updated, the AK to be discontinued, Coke GMT, and didn't see 3 hot colors going away on OP41.

I thought the Milgauss would get the axe, and we’d get a reworked Air King (or it would get axed too). Thought they might bring back the Coke GMT, or introduce a new Deepsea for the anniversary.

The logical part of my brain prepared for the discontinuation of the BLNR but I am grateful that didn’t happen since I’m still waiting for mine lol. Love the new green GMT even with the left side crown some others aren’t a fan of. As someone who loves the Deepsea series I was bummed to see only minor adjustments to this “new” piece. A new dial option or some more substantial changes would have been awesome in my book. Maybe next time!

The sad thing is it's all academic to me because I know that it's impossible to buy Rolex anymore. Very disheartening. Within the last decade I could just walk into a store and buy whichever Rolex I wished.

All I've been wanting for five years has been a new range of steel and gold Daytonas with ceramic bezels. It's like they know that and refuse to make it.

Would have expected more OP dial color additions to accompany the deletions, like a medium blue, burgundy, or eggshell lacquer dial. The latter especially since my other hope/anticipation, a new white dial AK, didn't materialize.

Oh yes, I forgot to include that I expected a ceramic bezel on the TT Daytona.

It seems as though Rolex is taking their time introducing ceramic to the gold Daytonas with bracelets.

I thought we would see a Coke, maybe the LN be brought back if no coke. I thought we could see something done with the Daytona, and i was a little surprised at no milgaus.
