Unfortunately Rolex have stopped offering the better dial options for the new White Gold and Everose models which is a bit odd but let’s see what they bring out in due course.

I think from this year’s releases, I hold out hope for a nice white gold 1908 with brown leather strap hitting the secondary market at a discount.

Honest photography question. How did you take the photo as if they sized it for you?

I honestly can't believe an adult would choose to buy and wear that DJ or DD if they weren't expected to be hard to get. But whatever floats anyone's boat. I usually don't post negative opinions of stuff, and it's not like OP is buying or bought one. But when I see it, I totally don't get it. It's not even like a bejeweled Daytona, where I think "this isn't me, but I get that someone might appreciate and want it."

Regardless, nice to see all these new variants and models.

Anyway, carry on...

great pics. My biggest gripe with the new daytona is the metal ring around bezel. For my speedy, the metal ring reflects light and takes away from the overall look of the watch (yes I am one of those people who look at their watches in mirror :D). I suspect the same will happen with this unless the top of ring is brushed which it doesnt seem like.

Also not sure about thinner bezel rings.

I agree the celebration dial looks so cheap. The puzzle Daydate is attractive but I would switch out the emojis.

Nice pictures. I am just 50/50 on the SS Green Sky-Dweller now after looking at so many pictures of it now that they are arriving. The Titanium YM is cool but it is now off the list as I just don't like it as much as my DSSD JC and my SD43. The one that is still there is the YG GMT and maybe the TT GMT. We will see. Thank you.

I have to say only the Daytona white dial and GMT master jubilee bracelet are appealing to me,
the rest are not what Rolex was made off in my opinion, more Mickey Mouse than I can take.

I am liking the YM, but I would like to see the bezel in the flesh, I feel it doesn't photograph well so not sure about that part at this point.

The TT GMT is awesome, I am liking the Black/Grey bezel more and more every time I see it...

Man that YM dial reminds me of an old matte faded 1680. I like it.

New Rolex releases on the wrist

The balloon dial OP is starting to grow on me, but the jigsaw puzzle DD is hideous!
