Okay this is a totally unrealistic question and a complete fantasy but let’s play anyway ......

Your AD phones you and says you can pick any Rolex from the range now, or wait until September 1st and pick any of the new line ups instead, what do you do?

(Me - well I’m picking a new one up tomorrow which is the one I want so I’ll say now - I’ll post an incoming at the time)

TimeAZ · 28 August 2020, 04:21 AM

I'd say, take the one you can get now. No saying you'd be able to get one of the new models from the AD.

New ones might also have some kinks to work out. I'm hopeful they fixed the faults in the 32XX movements. It would suck to get a new submariner and find that your watches loses 8 seconds per day sometime in the next year.

Since nothing has been announced I would do nothing

Wasn’t really the point of my post Brian - it was a gamble, take one now or wait and see. There wasn’t a do nothing option. Oh well, was only a bit of fun.

BNA/LION · 28 August 2020, 05:00 AM

I would say door #3... I'll pick the watch I want after the new release on 9/1 from all the watches available!

Sleepy996 · 28 August 2020, 05:02 AM

I would feel pretty good walking out of a AD right now paying retail for a ss daytona regardless what comes out on 9/1.

Chewbacca · 28 August 2020, 05:04 AM

Wait.

They’re not kidneys.

3 Putt · 28 August 2020, 05:06 AM

I would take a new Pepsi or Hulk now at retail. I am not an early adopter so any significant upgrade or change would not appeal to me until its been in use for a while.

I would get the meteorite day-date and call it a day.

I'd take a Pepsi now, don't think Sep will have anything I really want, including a SS Blue Subc.

brandrea · 28 August 2020, 05:41 AM

I’m not really in the market for a Rolex these days ... I’m into leather

zjd168 · 28 August 2020, 05:52 AM

I am not hoping for or waiting on anything from the Sept release so the choice will be super easy for me, take one now

Dini · 28 August 2020, 06:09 AM

I’d take a SS Daytona or BLRO now!

PA Zu · 28 August 2020, 06:45 AM

I'm going for the Pepsi now.

Jerrocop · 28 August 2020, 06:54 AM

If the AD had the watch I wanted right now? I wouldn't wait to see what's coming, I'd buy the watch now, before Sept. 1st.

jc_schmidt · 28 August 2020, 06:54 AM

Now; WG Pepsi.

Could not imagine they release something I want more incl. Coke SS or WG.

joeboots · 28 August 2020, 06:59 AM

dunedc · 28 August 2020, 07:03 AM

Avs Fan · 28 August 2020, 07:13 AM

I'll say I'd wait for the first. Rolex has a track record of making good things incrementally better/more beautiful. Plus I like a surprise now and then!

Benzsiam · 28 August 2020, 07:23 AM

I want Pepsi Meteorite and YG Daytona with green dial.

I will pick one or both of them now if it's available.

alwinnng · 28 August 2020, 07:46 AM

Hulk

The watch that started my interest in Rolex.
