What's your take on the new Rolex models and the discontinuations?

Here’s what Adrian said in an old way back video…buy the ugliest most hated new release models because everyone changes their mind a year later

Great release video Marco and Adrian. I love the green and blue dial on the sky dwellers. The Daytona line with the 116500 LN should have just been discontinued, and no other models made because no-one can see the open movement when wearing it. The gold GMT looks great. The rest is a little lackluster. Lots of love from Australia. Abs.

Marco you took the words out of my mouth. Rolex just put the fun back into watches. I absolutely love them all which I didn't think possible. If a watch can make you smile then hey job done ❤

Love these vids! Once again Adrian and Marco killing the collab. Love from AZ

Marco and Adrian duo discussions are intriguing and interesting! Keep it up guys! Love this content.

Hopefully there will be some deals as people are trading their old models for the new ones! Thanks for lots of insight, hopefully I will get a Rolly soon, been on the list for a Sprite for a grip.

Great content guys. I’m loving the OP41 Bubbles Celebration dial. I’m on the AD’s list. Greetings from England. 👍🇬🇧

I loved this release, but that doesn't mean I love all the pieces. This release was refreshing - the Crown reminded us that they are not predictable. Love the GMT, OP, and new Daytona's.

Great format. Really enjoy listening to these two

Great conversation & observations. Thanks.

It’s called a ball pit 😂

Enjoyed that, thanks.

Titanium Yachtmaster! Such an amazing piece. Hope you guys get one soon I’ll keep my eye out

Love this video What are your Thoughts on the yellow gold green dial day date please

I loved the release i love the emoji day date the rose gold skydweller is the one for me great episode guys cant wait to see some come through the office

Bro we needed Adrian Roman and Alex in this video.

In my opinion the steel Daytona always looked a little off in regards to the proportions of the ceramic bezel. I’ve been commenting for years that they needed to slim the bezel down!! Great job Rolex. Perfect nod to the old inserts from the 6263 ❤ and dial.

I'm glad I bought my Milgauss when I did. That was about three weeks ago so I ended up with one of the last ever made.

I love the new OP bubbles. Already placed an order with my AD. Hope I can get it. Bought a Batman and Date Just 2 from them already in the last two years.

I would’ve loved to see Peter in this..he’s THE Rolex guy and his knowledge is impeccable🙌🏻

The prince had an exhibition case-back!! Love the content 🫡

One correction..it looks like all the metal Daytona and Skydweller bracelets still have the 5mm easy link..only the oysterflex have glide lock just like before..

I'd love to hear your thoughts on how Rolex's recently announced plan to capture some second-hand marketshare for themselves (via the their AD certified resale program) may have impacted this line up. For example, are we seeing a limited number of new Daytona's because Rolex knows that they can leverage that scarcity into demand for used inventory at the AD?

I’m glad the yacht master finally got some love but I’d like to see more oyster flex models. I really like the new 1908 I think it will be a success for them with the growing popularity of dressier watches. I also like the new sky-dwellers, especially the green dial. Everything is “ok” but those I mentioned are what really stood out to me!

Rolex realized the success of the Pelagos.. now the hard back pedal :) love it and totally agree that a Ti Sky-dweller would be great!

The GMT master yellow gold bezel looks like something a committee would come up with. Some wanted the black bezel to return and other wanted the two color bezel to be a GMT design exclusive. They all compromised a little and came up with a muddied bezel (black and grey) that will look black in poor lighting.

Marco this is the answer with the lack of anniversary sub. Tudor just dropped the BB54, and that is Rolex/Tudor designating 1954 as the anniversary for the Sub. Previously, there was controversy whether it was 1953 or 1954, but they just cemented it. Also, I’m calling a left hand Sub release on the last day of W&W. there are 2 puzzle piece clues that marry into that prediction!

The white gold on strap and the rose blue face sky dwellers are dope

Marco, you may be mistaken but the steel black dial sky dweller is still in production, no? Happy birthday btw!

My Favorite watch dealers Bought my second Rolex from them last week .Great company with great people I. Highly recommend them

Open case back was smart 6:35

I think the new OP is sick! And I can’t wait till it’s on the gray market so I can pick one up.

Glide lock on oyster flex is a must. Otherwise too hard to carry too many “sizes” of the precut straps. (I know Rolex calls them osterflex bracelet)

Great video. You 2 are a class act.

It’s a risk to buy the puzzle piece but you might get lucky with it. I don’t think it will ever blow up blow up because it does not have any mass appeal but it might be a pretty good return eventually. I think if they did the gem set hour markers and the same text/emoji wheels without the puzzle dial it would be way more desirable. Also I have zero problem locking this one away and not wearing it.

Them yellow gold gmts are strait fire! 🔥

Way better video with Adrian than with Roman!! 👏👏 👏

I'm a huge fan of Titanium! My dream watch has always been a Titanium Submariner. So I'm very happy to see Rolex finally use Titanium in their watches. Hopefully the Yacht Master will just be the beginning.

Happy birthday Marco!

I hope they react to the vacherons releases especially Marco cause that tradionnelle is a beauty

I would not be surprised if Rolex deals with the Submariner separately. We’ll have to wait and see.

I agree Rolex is headed in a good direction. Not being afraid to release some of those models later in the video.

Rolex 1908 looks damn good 🔥

Surprised you didn’t mention the re-profiled case on the Daytonas, especially the SS case. The old case was lopsided and the new one is more symmetrical.

Once I saw the Yacht Master 42mm in Titanium, called my AD and spoke to the guy I bought from. Asked to be put on the list and I am the 1st at their store for one. Hopefully I get the 1st call for it when it comes available to them. Went with a Tudor Pelagos 42mm double blue as white gold is to heavy for my wrist and arm due to an accident. Got the call for a lefty GMT and blue dial OP within days of getting on the list. Let my son wear the OP for when we go out to certain places and on holidays.

I wish the 40mm Explorer was made in Titanium. It would have made it stand out more and differentiated it from the OP and the Air King more.

I still love that Rolex Milgauss lighting bolt second hand. Will the market prices of Milgauss go up?

I love the new ball pit OP... but can't imagine ever buying one, even though I really like the dial.

but sky dweller has a fluted bezel, which is always made out of PM. This very bezel happens to be the "ring command" with many uses. Are you thinking about a titanium SkyDweller with a PM bezel??? hmmm...🤔 could be very interesting look with the matte finished titanium...

Is titanium “harder” / “more scratch resistant” than the 904L steel?

Ti Yachtmaster is really dope. Scratching should be interesting though.

Also yes I’m surprised they didn’t keep the RG rhodium dial ! Also the Coke didn’t come out 😭 The king green SD is amazing The RG Aqua blue is 🔥 The Titanium YM is cool if it weighs more then 100grams 😂

I don't know what to think about the titanium Yacht-Master, it kind of breaks with the idea of it being the more elegant submariner (hence the rounded case on all the other models). If they had used the case of the Yacht-Masters 40/42 it would fit better into the lineup. I think they should use titanium to make a heavy watch lighter or to make a very light sporty watch (kind of understated but perfect for doing sports). And I am very excited about the complications we will see in the 1908 line (a perpetual calender would be nice).

Daytona: I like the metal edged ceramic bezel. I don't like the boxier case - I'm sure they combined the new bezel with the old case and found it didn't match as well as the previous layout did. Hoping to judge this in the metal.

The Daytona case was built very unique for decades. Now it’s has some kind of Yachtmaster case. Honestly, I am very shocked about this big changes on the steel Daytona

Rolex did exhibition casebacks on the recent line of Cellini Prince. Not 90 years ago.

I love the celebration and jigsaw

The steel new Daytona doesn't have glidelock only on the oysterflex

Make a video about price predictions on the new watches

Ref. 544x (aka Cellini Rolex Prince) presented an open case back. Production ranged from 2005 through 2015 ✌️

There’s a new off catalog Daytona with a Ruby bezel. Looks insane.

If they're not releasing anything for the submariner anniversary this year then they're probably going to wait for the 75 and they probably do something extravagant.

Check out the Rolex Cellini Prince that had an open case back

The titanium Yachtmaster IS the Sub update

The new Day Date puzzle pieces watch represents Autism awareness during the month of April. For a parent raising a child on the spectrum, I sincerely respect what Rolex is doing with that watch and I would purchase it in a heartbeat.

I'm not watch educated at all, I just really appreciate a nice watch, but I saw a lot of people talking about a sun burst dial or something like a lava color that they were really excited about. Not sure on which watch though. I guess that didn't happen?

Marco birthday and mine! the gmt has 2 tone bezel too

I love love love the new Rolex emoji day-date in white gold. I want to buy one. How much?

Adrian is wearing one of my grail watches but I will never be able to afford it 😢😢😢

Mint Green Skydweller > Gold GMT-II > Titanium Yacht-Master

I would like a titanium explorer ii 😎

Happy birthday To the boy genius Marco!

I really don't care for the new OP with balls on it, I personally think that Rolex could have done better with a playful dial. The Milgauss and the Cellini should go up in value now that they appear to have been discontinued. The new Platinum Daytona is going to be a hit and the 1908 should be a good seller, I think it's trying to compete directly with Patek. It's about time Rolex is making a couple of sapphire case back models, but they could at the very least try to decorate the movement.😊😊

Happy late birthday Marco but I think today is a sad day for all of us who don’t have a meteorite dial 🫡

What about the new patek releases?

The emoji Day Date, OP “bubble dial” & Titanium YM will be the hottest watches every collector will want once they see them in the flesh. People complain Rolex is boring & don’t do anything new, well, here it is….

Best clasp is the “hidden” clasp. Not glide lock or easy link extension SCRATCH MAGNET

Curious what you guys think of the 1908 line?

All the SkyD colors you named are still listed on the website

Really wanted the blue dial white gold Daytona. Discontinued, now it will just get harder. Darn.

Marco is a very impressive young man. He clearly knows his stuff and is a serious watch expert.

The sub did in the Fall of 2020 get updated and the size was bumped up to 41mm. Maybe Rolex will wait untill next year, the "real" anniversary of the sub (introduced in 1954)

Like 42 mm is humongous now.... I hoped they'd make the Daytona bigger... I can't wear it, it's too petite

I still see stainless steel skydweller black dial??.

Did Adrian mention something called: “Wei Koh Blue”??? If so, what is it????

Given that there are always a few months between announcements and availability _ which I personally find annoying but in fairness it allows Rolex to gauge the market’s response through pre-orders _ I think that Rolex may release a titanium Submariner for the anniversary. It could be a surprise release following a similar calendar to the DeepSea Challenge which was let out well after the Watches & Wonders 2022. The idea would be to coincide with the Christmas/New Year period buying frenzies… to make it a resounding hit ! I don’t have any Rolex as up to now I found these rather on the heavy heft side but I would pick up the titanium Yachtmaster although I have mixed feelings about it. I am pleased that titanium entered the Rolex for but I am disappointed with this Yachtmaster release. I was expecting the release of an identical Yachtmaster to Ben Ainslie’s prototype although with the most recent calibre thus titanium, dark anthracite colour, no date, corduroy / elastomer strap. The released titanium Yachtmaster is very very different from Ben Ainslie’s… 😕 Regarding the Daytona, I don’t have much comments as I am not anymore in Chronographes watches. My only comment is that they could have offered the display back as an option to all the Daytona range… The colourful OP & Day Date are interesting and fun. Overall I think Rolex made the right moves with releases so much more interesting than for 2022 except for the 1mm from the Explorer which is weird…

That love daydate is gonna go for some money people are sleeping on it but when are they ever gonna do that again

No GMT Coke. Thank goodness as I have a 16710 Coke from 2000 and ❤️ it.

How are there already superclones of these new releases? Makes you wonder

I think the Milgaus will come back in technical materials like ceramic and carbon.

Sub’s anniversary is really next year I think. If Rolex is willing to admit it publicly, then Sub will be part of 2024 releases.

Would it be smart to hold on to a Milgauss as a collectable watch now?

Submariner has anniversaries next year. This year Blancpain FF :)

The green sky dweller is an awesome watch, and will sell big time on the secondary market

I hope the explorer is off in the background. Hopped on the lists at my ADs. 36 is too small for me. 40 at retail? Yes please!

Explorers & Yacht Master are da best models to me I’m a oddball so I lik da underdogs

40mm Explorer is a great release

Let’s be real Rolex is releases have always been quite underwhelming and nothing really to get excited about but at the end of the day we all still want one

People have been slating Rolex for years including me for not being adventurous. Same old boring releases year on year minimal design change. This whole illusion of shortage in production, supply/demand and in turn creating a monster. Years waiting list for a new sub when in actual fact it’s hardly any different to a 5 year old sub you could get your hands on. Although it’s not something I would wear personally, I think this is great. This is what people have been asking Rolex to do (be more adventurous) go outside the norm and now it’s released people are hating on it. No it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but appreciate it for what it is. A watch/luxury item should be an extension of people’s personality this could be for some people fun, not too serious, playful. Remember a watch isn’t there to just tell the time no more we all have smart phones and Apple Watches for that….
