The NEW BLUE SEA & SKY Basel Rolex Identity. 2013 will be known as the Opening up...

http://rolexpassionreport.com/12154/...-rolex-oyster/

The NEW BLUE SEA & SKY Basel Rolex Identity. 2013 will be known as the Opening up of Wilsdorf's Legendary Genevan Rolex Oyster!




I'm in HEAVEN! What a great bright BLUE Rolex future we will go ahead! As I wrote you before, the BAsel 2013 Rolex news hits like a bomb, instant hit, everybody loves it, that much, we see Patek Philippe main newcomers, Hublots etc. all come out with BLUE. As Rolex is the giant in manufacture watchmaking, their instant move towards blue, claiming it by re-honering historic GMT Master back to identity ( It's become a elegant real mens Rolex again) full of soul, fashion, style and new the fresh NEW BLUE SKY & SEA Basel Rolex Identity.



Funny enough I'm surprised the reactions of close by i get on the new Platinum that are yet not all positive?!! Therefor I try to explain and advise guys that have to report about Rolex great news worldwide it, on their mayor blogs like Alexander Friedman from Watchonista or Wei & Bruce from Revo-online , that I see this new Platinum Daytona as a great positive Rolex sign! Why? because I see something new that interesting, conceptual and specially being platinum already very impressive by it's 260 gram weight!


Therefor choosing the light blue dial to match business shirts, add brown for leather boots, belt and accessories, leaning towards elegant car interior, vintage straps mania, heritage roots, combine both in most expensive material and present it next F1 race by a hot race girls to Ferrari's for winning the Spanish Grande Prix! So yes, it's a sfr 71.000,= step forward, honoring the way forward, BLUE!



Next year we all get crazy for steel version, then whitegold, then pink, yellow and maybe some other exotic materials... You see most don't see the crown guard have changed to a wider more massive look. The lugs are going very much streched down ( almost looks like ( former;) Tudor Head of Marketing & Product Development Davide Cerrato finally took over and after making Panerai, he's making Rolex fresh & blue! I don't wondered that all this great stuff would not be his design, it's as precise as Tudor Heritage Concept, maybe a little bit uncertain but ready to act and make that what we want, nice ROLEX! Therefor Davide made his new Tudor Monte Carlo, also in blue. Maybe I missed the party again but most logically Rolex will announce soon he's become the Jonathan Ive of new Rolex designed debate, Hallelujah! Cool Davide!!! YOU did IT, BRAVO! All you guys have my respect, finally Rolex will become logic! Perfect Blue Rolex Reboot!

Cerachrom bezels and Daytonas are match made in heaven

Now we need a new Daytona model... slightly larger, perhaps with a date...

to that. Blue's my favourite colour. Already got a blue Aqua-Terra, blue SMP-C, and have been wanting to add a blue Rolex but waiting for the right one to come along. Looks like my wishes are coming true.

I love your platinum Daytona picture. Looks much better there then any others I've seen. If it is like that (lighting dependent) in real life, it's a winner.

The Heritage Blue is my favorite of Basel so hats off to Tudor once again! Personally I also like the new Daytona and the colors work for me. My only issue is price and at that level for a modern Rolex not for me. I'd rather put money towards vintage or a retired Patek. I also was surprised at all the negative repsonse to 2013 releases and for me I would rather take time and formulate opinion once I see them in person and over time. I know that as time goes by they typically grow on me and on others - look no farther than the SkyD from last year. Cheers and thanks for sharing Philipp.

Absolutely 100% agree with both ken and OP regarding the platinum Daytona - it's too pricy but I am eager to see it in person and try it on for myself

Ok, so it's a 16600 SD with a band and bezel insert swap, but I really love the blue combo. I'm currently hunting a 116660 DSSD, but just haven't found 'the one' yet.
