Finally! They have put hands on the Explorer that fit the dial. Waaaay overdue.  |

I also kinda like the new air King.

I like the full blue lume on the updated Explorer and the new white dial Daytona - THAT's IT out of all those.  |

Not a fan of the baby blue YM, but it looks better in real life.   Looks like it is the same price as the blue, 11500. Wondering if Rolex has killed the platinum dial 116622. |

I doubt it. Rolex knows that the red on the dial is much more desirable and a classic look compared to the baby blue. The red text has been successful for generations!

Wow, I like the new releases this year! That Daytona is the best! Finally it has that striking look with the matching bezel. Better yet, it's ceramic so no more annoying scratches to worry about on there! That's the one I would have out of these for sure. It's also nice to see them changing up the colours on the dials / hands. Anyone that already has the previous versions or wore them for years in the past can be refreshed if they so desire. These subtle differences can go a long way. Not to mention I'm sure it'll look even better in person!

Well, I am very relieved to say that there is really nothing there that strikes my fancy. That would only get me in trouble if there was!
Glad that they brought back the Air-King, at least in some form. The green accents are a nice touch, and I also like the gold Rolex crown, but I'm not fond of the way they did the arabics.
My 2011 Air-King is still for sale at the watchmaker. All this has me wondering if maybe I should hang on to it. I have a feeling that I might just go and fetch it. As long as I keep it in mint condition, I can still sell it later.
I never minded the hands on the new Explorer. Now they look out of proportion to me. It doesn't look like the hour hand changed at all, yet the minute hand is almost now at the edge of the dial. Overall, I just don't see why they didn't leave it as it was. I am quite sure the new prices will reflect the changes as well. Very glad for Mark that he got the model he has, when he did.
