Not sure what the future of the 42mm model is - from what I'm hearing, the cal. 8500 is too large for the 42mm case, and will only fit in the 45.5mm case. There did appear to be a white dial and bezel Planet Ocean displayed as well that seemed smaller, it may well have a cal. 2500 in. I'll need to do some more looking into that
I'm not sure what the Rolex prices are in Euros, but for a quick conversion into pounds, it goes as follows:
SS PO on bracelet: €4600 = £4050
SS PO on rubber: €4500 = £3950
PO Chrono: €6100 = £5350
Ti PO on bracelet: €6400 = £5625
Ti PO Chrono: €7800 = £6850
Current UK prices for the Rolexes:
116610LN: £4970
116610LV: £5290
116660: £6600
Certainly in steel there's a big enough difference in price to make many people think that the Planet Ocean is a better buy than the Rolex, although the fact they've almost doubled in price over the current model is going to take some getting used to. It might potentially take away some of Rolex's market share, anyway
It'll be interesting to see how things pan out
