Yet another watch people sort of but don’t really want because they’d rather a sub or a GMT if it were actually in stock, but will have to wait for since this waiting list will be shorter than that waiting list. I have genuine pity for Rolex’s marketing and PR team who have to make this basket of mediocrity and laziness seem like a product release.
Jean-Claude Monachon is up there in Bienne churning out things like the 2020 Snoopy Speedmaster with the cool animated caseback and the brilliant NTTD Seamaster Pro and Rolex are making their explorer smaller and part gold, then sticking a plant on a Datejust. This is a multi billion dollar company delivering something more underwhelming than a 4 year old’s artwork.
I’m not surprised I’m just disappointed. More so than I even expected to be.
