Rolex 2023 Releases

[@EtherealSky]

The case back and the movement comments were so true!

[@givemearolex]

Your review on the new line of Rolex watches is one of the honest one in my opinion. Thanks 👍

[@edwardfrench6]

100% 👍

[@alimuzhussain8394]

Sexy cute bearded boy Dylan!

[@Jv8724]

Dylan. You are the man. Thank you!

[@LogicalNimbus]

Lol. Best review on Rolex. Love his brutal honesty haha

[@markreynolds9135]

Not brutal honesty but just a jaded opinion.

[@LogicalNimbus]

@@markreynolds9135 jaded? Lol 🤡 🚨

[@pablozorro3507]

Interesting to hear your take on the clear case back, and more specifically the movement being displayed on the new Platona. Many May not share your view but it certainly made me look at it (literally) with a more horological eye. Thanks 🙏

[@19NJS71]

disappointed that the Skydweller didnt get a slimmer case. The steel green is crazy beautiful

[@mr_g.c_9487]

Great honest review, agree with you 100% 👍

[@usamazaki3935]

Although it’s a minor changes in the dial of steel Daytona, but I see the old version is by far better

[@DialDforDaytona]

Excellent summary ! Loved it in a snapshot 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

[@mark_n_r]

Missed that the new GMT models are black and dark grey two tone bezels- not all black.

[@MeTellTime]

So no anniversairy sub??

[@petemcginnis]

I think this was a highly exciting release from Rolex. They introduced a wide variety of choices vs their normal iterations. I was kind of surprised by the negative tone from someone who sells Rolex watches. 😮

[@19NJS71]

the previous daytona was actually closer to 38 mm than 40. curious to see the new one

[@Walem_B]

I agree about the sky dweller but I doubt they had shocks in mind at all with the oysterflex... its only for precious metals and its always the case and clasp that take tje worst beating, where polishing would be most complicated and visible...

[@pokerrich9]

Too many anniversaries - 75th anniversary for submariner is the next update I think

[@umq5147]

I agree with your opinion on the 36 Daisy new colors. Too bad they didn’t add other colors to the 40 day date. In your opinion, which 40 DD, yellow gold is a must buy?

[@N8Doggi]

This dudes very intellectual. Cool to listen to thoughts. Always underrated. I thought Rolex was founded in 1905 though? Making almost 120 years old. Not sure about the 75 anniversary

[@jh-il5sb]

by rolex standards, that was actually a pretty exciting release!!........most of which I'm not interested in. I do like the GMT II release and the ti yacht master makes sense as well as the 40mm explorer. I could see getting the wife one of those 36mm day dates if they weren't so blingy!!

[@markjonz]

The Daytona movement is a superb fully integrated chronograph with vertical clutch column wheel. It seems to be much under appreciated. Yes, it’s not heavily decorated but that’s not Rolex’s style. I’d still love to see the movement.

[@tyshig.]

It’s pretty clear they made the DD 36mm as the ladies watch now.

[@eugenejohnson7755]

Good video.

[@pstrzezek]

Really brave opinion about Daytona flagship case back. I don't see anyone else sharing such views as everyone is just overhyped But I must agree with you. Daytona is not exciting enough to show up behidn the glass

[@stu632]

Maybe the sub will be updated separately later this year. The Millgauss will be updated and brought back in a year or 2. The movement is lovely in the Daytona.

[@thedeeprot]

👏👏👏

[@carlosbcn2020]

There is a Vacheron just like the 1908 at the same price.

[@KevinTimothyRichardSolberg]

So weird that there is no Submariner release :D

[@reacorp401k2]

😂enjoyed the video

[@obud3777]

You missed the best release of the year; the Day-Date 36MM puzzle dial!

[@ronmcmohan]

😁

[@Walem_B]

For you buy a day date but get less than a datejust... 7 cheest words and 31 emojis? Really? Who could ve thought it was a good idea ?

[@obud3777]

@@Walem_B I love it!

[@Walem_B]

@@obud3777 Good ! Im sure you wont be the only one too. I kinda like it too its just it mess with me, just so..."un rolexy"

[@klsupreme251]

Sub uptade, the green bezel of the kermit looks more like the original now, lighter green

[@andreiromanovsky674]

Hey , you missed the emoji day-date

[@andrewharting]

Looks like they also discontinued the air king and the john Mayer daytona

[@oysterman962]

The 40mm Air-King cases are now being reused for the new Explorer. It's called recycling. Rolex had to check the box for sustainability 👍

[@Walem_B]

They re not ! The 22 airking is still here and has crowguards, and the 16" Airking is way thicker than the explorer so what you mean ?

[@Walem_B]

They discontinued milgauss john mayer and the white gold blue dial.

[@oysterman962]

@@Walem_B It was a joke.

[@klsupreme251]

I believe that all the fancy shiny bling models in 36mm (stone dial diamond daydate) were made for the asian market, one stereotype is that some of the wealthy asians have small wrists and like to show off, no offense to anyone, it's just my opinion from a marketing point of view, same with 36 explorer 2tone, this was not made for women, it was made to make the explorer fit into the asian market & as they saw, that the demand for a 36mm explorer wasnt't high enough anywhere else, they had to bring back a bigger watch that will sell better in Europe, US etc. this is why they released now the 40mm explorer

[@MeTellTime]

Doesnt change a thing to be honest, im still selling my bb58 and getting the gmt pepsi tudor.

[@oysterman962]

No. Don't do it man. The GMT is too big and thick. The white dial will make it look even bigger. Also, the colour scheme reminds me of the Omega Commander's Seamaster. The ugliest Seamaster and dog that never sold

[@MeTellTime]

@@oysterman962 hmmm to be honest, ive had the bb chrono and the bb58 for 7 or 8 months now. The chrono i have enjoyed thuroughly, especially on a rubber strap. The 58 however has these endlinks that are sooooo jangly and have like 1mm play on them so im definetly selling that. Also the 58 is still stickered and new because of this bracelet fitment problem. I have mentioned it to my ad and they sent it back for tudor to send it back again saying the play is normal and acceptable. Well it is not.

[@oysterman962]

@@MeTellTime Yeah, I agree the 58 bracelet is cheap. The endlinks feel flimsy. Tudor want you to buy a new bracelet & they cost about US$600! I've had problems with Tudor/Rolex service Centre before. They refused to sell me a 39mm Ranger bracelet I wanted for my 41mm Black Bay eta. I measured the lugs to be the exact width but they insisted that it was incompatible. They take you for a fool. I sold the Tudor and bought a Speedy. But then sold it to buy a Rolex Sub. I would put a Rubber B on a BB58 if I was keeping it to wear as a daily beater but if you're selling it you'll have take into account the dicky bracelet. A dealer will low ball you. If you can wear the chrono then you'll be fine with the GMT. For me, I saved a little more and got a neo vintage 16570 Explorer II. They're the best value Rolex right now especially from Japan. But if you want that rotating Pepsi bezel you'll have to pay a lot more.

[@peterschneider9867]

Thanks!

[@ViolinistWilliam]

Titanium yacht is super cool, people need to relax. The OP dials are indeed targeting the ladies.

[@BobbyDazzler888]

So lazy in production that they brushed it all.

[@Walem_B]

Too big tho !

[@py9000]

I agree 100% on your comment on their making a clear case back. It just shows how mediocre their movement is compared to brands like A Lange, pp and AP

[@RecordSisi]

They never claimed to do like them . Also , who's the king in the watch industry ?

[@skyworks1621]

I have the submariner date 2022, and for 2023 the Submariner could be updated to Platinum or something big for sub.

[@Walem_B]

What like mid year release ???

[@skyworks1621]

@@Walem_B end of the 2022.

[@count1958]

Harsh but true comments. :)

[@BobbyDazzler888]

Wont be long before salespeople will start sucking up to customers again 😂😂😂

[@samon_kurowassan]

8:40 No mate, it's the first time Rolex is making a display caseback and it's competitively priced so I believe it's going to be popular and steal ayaw all those dress watch customers from other mid-tier brands such as IWC 😂

[@karlsugden4161]

A very disappointing new collection for Rolex, the oyster perpetual looks ridiculous. I was expecting Rolex this year to bring something exciting to their brand. I can honestly say it's not been a positive, productive move in my own personal opinion.

[@samon_kurowassan]

1st time ever Rolex made a display caseback and slap it on Daytona, Jubilee became full gold & not the lower tier ver. of Pres. it used to be, Rolex dress watch w/ display caseback, new movements, Titanium dive watch, rg+blue dial, sky-dweller improvements, Daytona OF improvements... I beg to disagree. Best ever Rolex release in my books 🎉

[@fadyberlon]

39mm Exp was the best!

[@kai767]

Massive disappointment again...

[@samuelburton5576]

Oh go away with your negativity!!!! Booo

[@oysterman962]

I now miss the Cellini. That 1908 is hideous. Looks like a last minute botched job. Don't know who on Earth is going to buy it? Bring back the moonphase. I want you back in my life Cellini. I'm sorry I didn't love you before but give me another chance. btw excellent coverage and reporting on the new releases. This is by far the best visual summary on KZbin. I appreciate the photos and comparisons. Easy to follow and professionally presented unlike many other channels. Well done.

[@masudashizue777]

They really need to stop trying to surprise us. They weren't like this 50 years ago, when I started taking interest in their products.

[@hbomb9041]

Don't pull your punches, buddy! Rolex KO'd in first round?

[@markreynolds9135]

Strange how your comments are so negative and dramatically very different from other watch enthusiasts. I guess it takes someone to be Debbie Downer and you were it.

[@noahjia7423]

Very disappointing!

[@samuelburton5576]

Anything they do is disappointing to you Rolex haters. Nothing can satisfy you

[@moon3173]

yup absolutely. the exhibition caseback is a totally backward, bad move. In addition to the poor aesthetics of the movement, why follow what others have done many years ago? Keeping the solid case back would have been "ROLEX". the 1908 hands and the dial are so unattractive. Cellini was far better

[@cheemomugdoo799]

The 1908 looks like a dressy Tudor Ranger. Such a disappointing release. You really have to love Rolex if you buy this and ignore the many better dress watches on the market. 21-23K for these watches is a joke. Why you would buy this over a JLC master control, certain A Lange und Sohnes, Vacheron, Glashutte Original, etc.?

[@rolexmike]

31k? What currency? Aussie dollars?
