….and me. Very underwhelming and unimaginative. Putting a crown on the other side or putting a zero in front of the five on the air king is just lazy.
They need to get back to having a CEO who is inspiring

I see the DeepSea is also a “new” model. They removed the divers extension, gave it a new ref number and sprucing it’s a new model. Since when are downgrades celebrated? Pull your finger out Rolex😡

And it’s $500 more expensive than the model with the date on the correct side! I’m fine with the crown on the left but the date location kills this for me.

After so many years of seeing and owning a GMT this seems totally backwards. Left handers deserve a crown they can access on the wrist for travel, I get it. But like aquajoe and many others point out, the date on that side destroys it for me. Completely disappointed in all the new releases, but this one in particular. Also, why on earth would the Deep Sea not have a divers expansion? Actually, never mind. I'm sure hardly any of them actually hey used for diving or even swimming anymore. I'm at a loss for words.

Pull your finger out Rolex😡 Well it got the new 70 hours movement with the plus 2 minus 2 movement and ten years service. In that aspect, it’s a big upgrade.

Total disappointment. The green/black makes me think of the Masters, which started this week and that they sponsor, but the rest is just garbage.
All I can say on the other “updates” (not new releases) is _____________. (I don’t have anything nice to say.)

The SD got it five years ago.
