If it was SS, I'd be all over it.

Next year, they will probably do a different color combo, but with the ceramic. I hope anyway. And I'd get it in a heartbeat,

I don't think the colour combo works. It's fairly ugly IMHO. Although it looks better in the actual photo provided here than on the web site shot. I will have to see it for real and then decide.

I was surprised how much a root beer GMT grew on me, but it took years. Now this is upping the ante for acceptance.

Coyote Daytona?

It has a retro look to it like something from the 70s when that color combo was in fashion.

I think it looks nice but would rather get a DD pres for that kind of cash.

I'm surprised that for a 50 year anniv. There is no green on it.

Overall it's a nice combo to look at but not sure if I could wear it daily.

It's like they've run out of design ideas and the only thing they can come up with is new color combinations. I don't see creativity comming from Rolex.

At least I don't have to worry about falling in love with this watch and trying to save up for one.... This is definitely not meant to be worn on a regular basis; or maybe they want it to clash and stand out...better luck next year!

I have to agree on this. In fact I was once attracted to Tag Carrera.
