Loving the new releases....

Simply because I don't want any of them.

I can see myself wanting the GMT, but I'm no totally sold on it.

The others, while nice, don't do anything for me.

Ha. That's a riot. And pretty accurate in terms of the YM.

Truth is I was in love last year, but not with the YM.

I loved the DJ2 and the NDC.

Had em, flipped em. Lol.

That daytona is really bugging me, not that I'm a daytona fan but the new platinum release is downright ugly. I could see myself buying and flipping the new bi color gmt but nothing else is going to lighten my wallet. Go basel lol

But 25k for a steel watch? for that kind of money I would MUCH rather own any of the following: yg gmt2c, smurf, yg sub c blue, any DD2, PP nautilus, etc etc...

I do agree that it is attractive and a huge step forward for rolex but the price tag has me

$25,000... guesstimate?
My first thought had it around $15,000...

I think the YM2 is beautiful, always have.

It's just giant for me. Anything over 41mm feels huge on the wrist, for me.

$25k is the retail price for the TT model. SS should be much less.

somebody said there AD said 25k and some change and that sounded about right to me. At 15k I think its too close to daytona pricing.

Personally i like the Daytona. To me the GMT does nothing. Now if it were a pepsi things would be different.

I was getting excited about the idea of a platinum Daytona, but the brown doesnt work for me at all and so maybe Im a little relieved as £40K is alot of money to try to raise when you seriously start thinking about it. Ill just stick with my cheapo avatar.
