Not sure if this has been mentioned before but have only just noticed Rolex have change there site and configurator layout.

Seems pretty slick!

They have, I like it.

A bit more accessible, imo.

Lordofrolex · 9 December 2015, 11:16 AM

i like it better also. They did a good job.

Took a look today. Did a double take first time thinking my browser had gone to some unofficial site. I like the new layout too.

sickened1 · 9 December 2015, 11:49 AM

Yeah, looks a lot better now and less lag like in the old one.

DaveDhc · 9 December 2015, 12:54 PM

I prefer the style of showing more information on each page instead of finding the hidden text and pictures. From that point of view I think the change is a positive one.

I find the Rolex photography to be uninspiring. That photography doesn't make me want to go out and purchase one of their watches. On the other hand, Omega uses impressive photography and their site does make me feel like getting a Speedmaster Classic or a Speedmaster 1957. Side by side, Omega and Rolex pictures make the Rolex photography look flat and sterile.

I have 6 vintage Rolex and two 2015 models, so obviously I love their watches and I think everyone of them is a fantastic mechanical device and they are all attractive to me. But my ownership is in no way influenced by their website.

The face page where you can see most of the models is nice, but it's not very intuitive. It can be better...

rdragon · 9 December 2015, 01:26 PM

Yeah, not as easy to navigate material/dial/etc...

TimeRookie · 9 December 2015, 01:33 PM

I like it.

GerardoG · 9 December 2015, 03:03 PM

Is this for desktop only?

Dokbrick · 9 December 2015, 03:05 PM

Basically just added the hamburger menu, some new banners, and some faceting. A bit of an improvement.

sleddog · 9 December 2015, 03:13 PM

They couldn't have done any worse than the previous set up!!

It does seem a little more thought has been used for this current template though..

joeswatchstraps · 9 December 2015, 03:29 PM

Nice update. Old webpage was clunky.

No G. Seems like they updated it across all platform (Windows, Mac, iOS, etc).

I agree with you.

Tudor's website is always worth a look , some really cool downloads to be had also

It looks like the Cellini and Oyster models are no longer separated. Great to see the Cellini line enjoy its day in the sun.

Porter · 10 December 2015, 12:35 AM

I love the brand and its history but I think a company like Rolex could make a web page 100 times better!!
Seems don't need web page to sell Watches!! Hahaha Great company!!

Shore Guy · 10 December 2015, 01:40 PM

Unimpressed. Looked up the Milgauss to get details on the clasp, but it gave no info.

alika · 10 December 2015, 08:39 PM

actually I prefer the earlier version..

HL65 · 10 December 2015, 08:52 PM

Nice improvement.
