What in the hell???

Flyjet601 · 26 July 2007, 03:08 PM

I think ROLEX has dveloped a new anti-counterfeiting technique......make them SO UGLY no one will buy them

diaz1023 · 26 July 2007, 03:31 PM

these are all bad

BiG JeEzY · 26 July 2007, 03:32 PM

I personally kinda like the blue wavy dial on that Datejust. I think it will probably look better in person because we will be able to clearly see how the lighting will reflect on the dial.

The other two dials I am not really sure about. I don't like them but I don't dislike them either. I think I will learn to grow on them and appreciate them more over time. Maybe it would look nicer if the 6 and 9 had no diamonds on it because it looks too "blingy" from the pictures.

Cmon guys it cant be that bad...

seanbrooklyn · 26 July 2007, 03:35 PM

VERY VERY UGLY , I HOPE THIS IS NOT THE WAY ROLEX IS PLANING ON GOING IN THE FUTURE

supermarz · 26 July 2007, 04:19 PM

OMG!! what on earth happened to these???!!

the first one .... it's like they can't made up their mind on the size or material of the numbers so they throw everything together....
the second and thrid one is like looking at your rolex whilst on acid

i mean....seriouslly .....how many "rolex" can you have at your watch......at the top.....throughout the dial..... on the sides....

i guess each to their own...but for me ? ...NO THANKS

Eeeeh, is this for real or is it Jocke with his photoshop behind these?

Alcan · 26 July 2007, 07:50 PM

Both are destined to take their places beside the YuckMaster II and Leopard Daytona.

blueface · 26 July 2007, 08:39 PM

I give all of those a

, even the blue one.

qwackers · 26 July 2007, 08:40 PM

sorry........its rubbish...but you should get my opinion of them..........

TACKY

Solar · 26 July 2007, 09:28 PM

Not to my taste, but bear in mind that what you see on the runway models are not the clothes normally sold to the public. Sometimes designers go all out to create a buzz or shake things up.

Also, always better to form the opinion after seeing them in person; photos just never do justice to the subject.

That all said, I find the designs jarring, but as Ohlins wrote, I'm sure they'll sell.............

Rolex has always stood for classic styling, these are cheap looking.

Scooby · 26 July 2007, 10:51 PM

Those are some fugly looking dials.

Bama · 26 July 2007, 10:51 PM

Is Tommy Hilfiger in charge of design now at Rolex?

China Man · 26 July 2007, 11:52 PM

yuck

John685 · 27 July 2007, 12:35 AM

My AD has the number 2 and 3 dials minus the big numbers and diamonds. He called the the Jubilee dials but unknown if that's Rolex's official name for them.

His "Jubilee" dials have a black background with gold lettering and in the case they just looked like a black dial. I tried on a TT with yellow gold hands and you absolutely could not see the hands unless it was held a certain way. A terrible design and I don't see why a person would buy one after they tried it on.

Don't care for any of them...

Goodwatch · 27 July 2007, 04:31 AM

No, not my cup of tea. I could stomach the first one if not for the 'mix and not match' of the digits

ldmarcht · 27 July 2007, 04:34 AM

Hard to believe that anyone would think these designs would be a good idea....
