Rolex's New Releases Are Insane. (Literally)

[@alexanderp2643]

Michael definitely carrying the channel in Christian’s absence- he’s got this ✅

[@miguelg1370]

He is better looking

[@MorganHuxleyBrady]

Michael always carrying it

[@KB-vf4gz]

What do you mean he’s got this ? I appreciate Christians knowledge since he has been in the watch industry for a long time but Michael is the star of the channel. The day he isn’t on the channel I’ll stop watching Christian can’t do it alone bc he’s too annoying and he knows it !

[@valebliz]

Christian, the most punchable guy in the watch scene? You don’t say?!

[@michaelkilbride2927]

The rolex with the colours on the dial is like something from China awful looking thing

[@kyle_vr]

We need a Patreon to buy Michael plane tickets for these events.

[@valebliz]

Yeah, let’s buy the rich guys plane tickets. Genius.

[@eazye619]

I just want the Tudor BB54. I can definitely see Christian and Michael getting one due to the great size. Wonder what the waitlist will be like

[@notenoughtime7274]

The more I’ve reflected on Rolex’s announcements the more I think they’ve done a great job. Rolex have answered many of their critics by introducing case-backs, by playing to their heritage (1908 and the beautiful reintroduction of the full gold GMT jubilee), their tool watch origins (titanium yachtmaster), their engineering (refined movements in Daytona), great new dial options (skydweller and daydates), their playful side (OP and daydates), and their bling side (daydate jewels) I don’t love them all but it’s a well balanced portfolio that defies critics saying Rolex are boring and plays to a broad audience and age range. I like the fact they’ve kept a dress watch. I’m sad to see the end of the milgauss (I love my Z blue) but know it’ll be back And I can’t wait to (eventually….) get allocated a GMT and SkyDweller I was though sad to see the meteorite dial Daytona discontinued. This was one of my favs…and I had been waitlisted one year and counting. Oh well! Removing this, the John Mayer and the blue dial white gold makes the Daytona range poorer than it was….but Rolex authorised preowned even hotter. I think we will see higher production but more frequent limited runs to retain demand and value. Great video. Great job.

[@saeedjavid9290]

I agree. It’s easy to bash Rolex. They’ll never do everything to please everyone. And if they were easy to get they’d lose the allure. With production increasing at least they’ll be easier…

[@dennischristensen5950]

@notenoughtime I like your balanced take. Too easy to bash Rolex and they deserve some recognition

[@carterjones5944]

Sad to hear about the meteorite dial…

[@floridaboybrandon954]

It's been our for like 10 hours... how long did you reflect on Rolex's new watches.....

[@JaydonTobler]

I’ll miss the Cellini. My boss actually got one a while back and he wore it everyday until he retired. Once I saw it in person, I feel in love with it and knew I’d want one down the road.

[@thepenultimateninja5797]

That rose gold blue skydweller is grail level stuff!

[@BrittPearceWatches]

Theo and Harris….. doing…. A…. NEWS VIDEO?! 😱💕

[@davidcrane7603]

The changes to the Daytona are nice, but I wish they’d revert back to the original/vintage Daytona Big Red and Paul Newman dial designs, just with updated manufacturing and materials (and lume, of course) technology. The titanium Yachtmaster looks really good.

[@milesrickman9270]

Definitely! Too much text on the dial,now. The Big Red and vintage dials are so clean.

[@davidcrandall4958]

loving those new Rolex Homages of Invicta watches!

[@Ubertechgirl66]

I'm with you on this one, Michael. I love the bubble OP!

[@jettiseman5524]

The yellow gold puzzle watch is horrid

[@cardinalj]

I agree..... the rosegold version is so much better

[@javenturner1]

The only interesting things were the 1908 and Display Caseback Daytona and they are both insanely priced and nobody will be able to get them. Tudor had a great release as much as these guys love to call them boring.

[@BasedHadrian]

Tudor hit it out of the park

[@robertmorano2372]

Yeah, Tudor is absolutely killing it and one day I will bring one home.

[@lonewolfemcquade8133]

Like Tudor is so innovative, they basically copy vintage Rolex designs. The original Pelagos is the best Tudor that's not trying to look like a Rolex. Even the 58 is a wannabe vintage Submariner

[@javenturner1]

@@lonewolfemcquade8133 It's almost as if people like Vintage Rolex at affordable prices and not 7 year waitlists for a steel diver.

[@robertmorano2372]

@@javenturner1 I mean, call me crazy, but it might even be the entire purpose and business model of Tudor. They are doing exactly what they were created to do and at this point, more focused than daddy.

That’s because some of us love the Airking. 🎉

[@toegunn4905]

Bubble dial is also great. Don't let anybody tell you an OP needs to be a serious watch

[@Watch4Me]

Michael is all of us right now. 3:00 a.m. check in

[@tempuslatro]

I love that Michael is holding it down at HQ, TCB, like the VP in a hidden bunker while Christian is overseas. "Security concerns", had me rolling. 🤣

[@NormanRabaya]

0:47 "Christian usually sits over here, but today he's in Geneva sitting on Nico's lap"

[@eglenn73]

Omega used the special Bond font for the "7" on a date wheel in the past... I can't recall anything beyond that in terms of a brand playing with a date wheel until now. The puzzle day-date released at the same time Oris put Kermit on the date wheel.

[@carlus.s.dingfelder]

The TAG Heuer Mario Kart Formula 1 chronograph recently had icons on the date wheel. It seems to be the trend...

[@MaartenAnna]

Love the two-tone GMT. But LOVE the puzzle love day-date in white gold.

[@jeezymd5788]

Best part of the video is when Christian calls in like he’s stuck in jail 😂

[@nicosinaga5405]

That 1908 piece is gorgeous. I liked it a lot 👏👏👏

[@currencyworld]

Rolex have gotten high on their own hype. They’ve lost the plot entirely in my opinion. They are trying very hard to mainstream the idea that’s been prevalent among hardcore watch enthusiasts for a while, namely, that they are a brand for chavs and wankers.

[@bbrebozo6417]

The yellow gold GMT was probably a black bezel until management stepped in and said “I thought we had decided the GMT line would have two colors on the bezel”. The result is a muddied bezel with little contrast between day & night.

[@joshuakaplan5726]

the blue/green sky-dweller in full rose gold is just so gorgeous.

[@watchcurtisn]

That Yachtmaster is perfection and will skyrocket.

[@Edward-hb9qb]

YESSSSSS, the "bubble-dial" is nostalgia; it just brings me back to the 90's early 2000s, rich, colorful patterns that you could only see in that period. I LOVE IT!

[@SuperJulioes]

How do I know that John Mayer already has the "love day-date" in white gold? 💀👻

[@simontvrner]

13:35 "This yacht-master is more related to the original Submariners than the current submariner" ...... The 124060 has entered the chat. Is Christian on that Swiss Absinthe already? 🤣

[@GuyNarnarian]

I like all the drops other than the bubbles and puzzle pieces. Tudor's were great too for the most part.

[@pingwong117]

The puzzle-emoji day-date is MADNESS

[@Mega-zi7ys]

That's official autism logo and colors..😢.how can they be so insective???

[@vincentbroeckx5872]

Correct me if I’m wrong but to me it appears that the 36mm platinum DD is now also available with a diamond set bezel featuring princess cut or a more rectangular shaped diamond like on the 40mm. And it used to be that the 36mm had only the option for a round cut diamond bezel. Secondly the 36mm platinum DD is now also available with baguette diamond hourmarkers on the ice blue dial. I am fairly certain that was also limited to only the 40mm version

[@williamumbach592]

OK to skip over the GMT, but the question (if he’s seen it in person) is, can you see the difference between the black and gray portions of the bezel?

[@johncorcoran2569]

Michael! Awesome video you killed it! Soo fun to see the king lighten up and have fun! I want the GMT!

[@dukes70]

Michael-The new Daytona has bigger crown guards, the bezel is metal with ceramic insert, sub-dials smaller (rings thinner like Zenith Daytona). Cellini replaced by new “1908” models.

[@gid-vicious]

Anyone know what the lug space is on the explorer 40?

[@SilverBorzGaming]

Price for the blueish skydweller?

[@derekmitchell6083]

I read that Rolex produces about a million watches per year. I don't understand why there is a waitlist

[@Deusmecumest]

Forget Rolex, have you seen Cartier? How is Christian not all over the new Santos Dumont.

[@erikh1041]

Producer michael’s gonna have a field day with these releases

[@TheJohnnyViewer]

the only issue I have with 1908 is that it enters the waters of other big hitters from premium brands were details are hand finished. Here we have the crown and machines behind the production.

[@NationalParksArtist]

If anyone else released things like the bubble or love watches, there'd be a ton of "wow, these are expensive for a Swatch." Rolex does it and it's somehow genius. To be clear, I think their just dandy, but it is a lot of money for a Swatch.

[@Scott-jf1nh]

That puzzle piece day date dial is really cool. I bet it goes for $75K Rich folk toy for sure.

[@Iknowthingsthatothersdont]

I love your interpretations of the Rolex releases.

[@richpaul6806]

I dont get the decision to have ti on the yachtmaster rather than the submariner line.

[@StephenMorganCanada]

The Daytona looks like the Zenith-powered model.

[@davn7723]

that DD is not on the site?

[@madrat5176]

And only available for twice the price at a grey market near you 😂😂

[@williamumbach592]

Bring back the Cellini, or add a date and meteorite complication on the 1908

[@peteanddrake4242]

It is seriously hard to watch these influencers pretending to be impressed with the new Rolex releases.

[@Shadowwalker1717]

How expansive must the watches be, how stupid their releases, how many questionable people must wear those watches, how much artificial scarcity must happen until you all understand that Rolex is dead and garbage.

[@Rch_P]

Intro was 100% on point. Then she responds, “That’s nice dear”.

[@gilessteve]

17:48 They must be smoking something over there in Switzerland. There really aren't that many new Rolexes I like. If they ever re-issued the original Explorer I I'd want one though.

[@VMIyanks04]

Michael, do you want that colorful balls OP more than the all white ceramic IWC?

[@benbryson6598]

did they use the now discontinued 40mm milgauss case for the new 40mm explorer? 1908 has a ALS/Breguet combo feel to it to me. Love your "review" of the gold GMT, lol! The precious metal day-dates remind me of the vintage onyx dials that had no indices

[@RK-zo9vs]

Rolex is trying hard to catch up to Seiko's amazing dials. Only thing is a $500 automatic seiko diver 'Save the Ocean' series still has nicer dials. For the blocks or bubbles you can go for a $200 teen type Seiko and for real silly dials you might prefer a $100 Swatch, you can even get a 'Snoopy' or a 'Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh'.

[@jimmylight4866]

Why are you watching a show about Rolex's 😂😂😂. Got bored with the Seiko videos? I know the answer👑

[@RK-zo9vs]

@@jimmylight4866 Don't get me wrong, I love the Submariner and Deepsea in black or Cameron dial, but this really looks like a $200 Seiko or $100 Swatch dial, but to each his own I guess, the Snoopy was also a bite at the Snoopy Omega dial. Perhaps these will be collectors' pieces in years to come on the other hand and I might be over critical, but please do check out the Seiko 'Save the Ocean' dials and you'll see what I mean, looks like Omega starting to copy the look now too.

[@matthewstrobelt564]

To me, the YM in Titanium is the winner. At 14k, I will need to save for years, maybe even a decade, but I think it is such a great grail watch. Kind of like a Pelagos Plus.

[@CokeWithIceAndLemon]

Michael is great.

[@sunjayjagath]

Gr8 entertaining & informative overview Michael, from another 36mm Explorer I fanboy.. well done,..

[@pat13487]

How much of the puzzle watch?

[@fulukuku]

the issue with explorer is and the whole rolex line is that they have increased the prices on a level where you can find better watches. rolex explorer 40 for 8.000 euros? i know it a question of supply and demand, but add a bit more and you can buy jj lecoultre or other watches which are on a higher level.

[@lonewolfemcquade8133]

Own a Explorer 1, 114270z myself I can't imagine that watch being any bigger. I prefer the Legendary size of 36mm. I like the new Perpetual line it reminds me of a Explorer 1 with a small seconds hand and also reminds me of a Dirty dozen feild watch and there's something special about having the same size Explorer as Ian Fleming. On the other hand I really wanted to see the Explorer get a white dial option like the Explorer 2. It just felt right ✅but I just can't imagine a Explorer 1 being almost the same size as a Submariner and it's probably going to wear big, like the 39mm but I guess we shall see feild watches aren't supposed to be big

[@johna797]

Really depends on your wrist, the romantic in me agrees but they I tried a 36mm and the watch is lost in my wrist.. it’s just far too small for me and in my opinion. The new 40mm wears great, especially with 21mm lugs, makes all the difference. My wrist is 7.25 inches for reference but my hands are quite large which also comes into play, something not often considered

[@dandoe1620]

Awesome video breaking down the new releases gents.

Love the 1908, would buy used at 37mm. Everyone is taking about the price but it'll drop in the Grey market and the value proposition at $15k will be there

❤️ The Love watch tells others about you. It’s not about telling you the time. Individuality. Personal expression. Genius move. 😍

The biggest difference I noticed with the Daytonas that no one seems to be commenting on is the fact that they fixed the asymmetrical lugs on the steel model
