One can think about Rolex what one wants, but they sure do know how to make watches. High standard industrial quality.
I admit, it's almost pornographic and totally insane.
But I couldn't resist to take this picture as they arrived almost at the same time (Except the sub)
It was a so incongruous situation after months of waiting.
The hazards of the waiting lists. At the same time pleasant but with a form of madness.

I’ve had on my wrist now for half a year, it fits like a glove and feels as if it belongs there. Never thought I’d like a Rolex that much again 😉
Thanks for chiming in, Captain
After my last Rolex (bought in 2009) I was under the distinct impression it would be my last one. Until they came with caliber 9001. That triggered me.
That’s interesting...
I still enjoy a Rolex on a regular basis. They strike a perfect balance of style, functional design and quality.
They do, indeed.
To be more precise, my last one was a Day-Date. Thinking I had reached Rolex's Zenith, I figured it would be my last Rolex.
I must confess that I didn't like it when I saw the first press pictures and that I changed my mind when I saw it in the flesh.
Our dear Raymond's one:
The fluted bezel, even if it has its function, still bugs me a bit, but who knows, perhaps I will end with one?
Enjoy yours, my friend.

Thanks, Nicolas
You'd almost suspect it to be German; everything is functional and well thought about. The first iterations from 2012 I didn't like that much, those rather big arabic numerals.. Agreed, this is a watch you must see on your wrist or at least in real life.
Have a good day, my friend and take care.

I had the same issue with the first ones. Much prefer the baton indices. [nt]

Rolex inevitably of course ;-) I like it a lot, a winner
I see it as a great and desirable alternative to the others.
The day Rolex will think of me, offering a different bezel, I would get them to embed it on my wrist.
As it is, I keep on looking at it forcing my finger out from the trigger.
Thank you for sharing and pocking my eyes ;-)
A desirable model...
I am on 3 lists in Paris, Lyon and Monaco ...
I admit I have hesitated because of its size and its dial.
I tried it gold and I must say it charmed me.
It remains to be seen if and when it will arrive ...

Thanks, hope it arrives soon.
Why did you hesitate because of it's dial, what about it?
My hesitations
I’ve hesitated because of :
1) the size, that’s why I’ve tried a gold model to check how was this watch on my wrist (17,5 cm).
2) the dial on pictures was crowded but in reality it appears ok for me.
3) I’m hunting others models (Air King, Milgauss : 6541 look if launch in September or without GV if not, Dajtejust 41 black dual jubilé considering Rolex brand).
4) I’ve received 4 Rolex during summer (116500, BLNR BLRO) and I’ve found the 116600 that I was hunting for years). So I prefer to wait before a new arrival in order to savor my recent acquisitions.
But if I got the call I I will be happy too !

The AK is a great one! You are right, there is a time to digest the new catches to fully appreciate them. [nt]

I need time because I have a small wrist ;-)

To savour your new watches is a very good and satisfying idea.
My wrist size is 19½. The picture shown above doesn't reflect reality that much. it's a bit distorted (crappy IPhone shot).
A Datejust, black dial and Jubilee bracelet is such a nice classic.

Your description is spot on.
That’s how I feel with my Sky Dweller. It fits like a glove.
Pleased you love yours also.

Into its 13th month
