C’mon

This watch is just so nice.

I think the hype is actually warranted.

I like it way more than I thought I would. Daily. Each day I put something else on. And then I put this back on.

A modern classic for sure. Congrats!

I think the hype though is 80% availability, 20% the watch itself. At least on this forum.

Your dog seems less enthused with your latest purchase! Glad you are enjoying it though

That’s a great question.

And as a relatively sensitive watch guy, it’s something I need to think about. The 40mm version was my intro to Rolex. It took a while to fall for the 42mm. But it’s got some real nastalgia for me. And I think it’s a super all arounder.

The BLRO less so. But this watch....

There is something about it.

For now.....

Still thinking.

Love this watch. It represents all that's great about Rolex today.
Splashes of color, shiny ceramic, the jubilee uprising, functionality and shiny blingy stuff, which I love.
Can't get enough photos of it.

As you've seen on my very recent post, I'm almost not impressed with it, right ?

Congrats (to all of us)

Let's enjoy it !

Very nice indeed. I'm looking forward to sourcing one. I'm still over the moon with my Daytona C but already thinking about the next one.

I like it...the bezel insert is kind of faded and reminds me of a vintage 1675.

Nice. I never liked the unsaturated colors of the Pepsi in the new BLRO, having owned a 16710 Pepsi.

But now there are so many posts and incomings I feel I'm being sucked into a vortex now. I want one.
