Rolex Basel 2015: A new movement, the Cal 3255.
An exciting news in the Rolex World. When the novelties are not breathtaking, at least from my point of view, this year, with an exception, the new Yacht Master Ref 116655 in rose gold and its black cerachrom bezel. A new movement is born, the Cal 3255. F...
I noticed this...

Thanks for this very interesting feedback, Ciaca.
I agree with you. This new movement is the most important thing / novelty this year, for Rolex, with the new Tudor movement, as well... For the rest, m y wallet is far away from temptations, which is excellent news. Same question in my mind: How long will...
as i wrote...
in the last period of previous post, I guess decades ;-) I doubt this new movement will appear soon on the best seller like gmt and submariner. They will shift slowly starting from the less selled models waiting to empty the warehouses fulfilled by tons o...
