·You are So Lucky to get this RARE opportunity to try out all the new Rollies i probably have to wait till end of the yr !.AND you are not being helpful at all by showing me the RE1 ! Argonizing decision btwn the RE1 vs CK2998 with the balance scales slightly tipping in favour of the RE1.
You look Superb with the White Cerachrom Daytona & RE1 !!!
Yachtmaster appears oversized on your wrist ..really. It's 43 mm right ? From my viewpoint starring at my hp screen
( not your wristpoint which matters most actually) the Black Daytona has legibility issues. I find it a strain to read the time. AirKing is waaayyy to busy for you unless you're a pilot for a chopper !

·The Daytona models are going to be crazy popular.
The Yacht master also looks better than I ever remembered.
That is one thing Rolex has nailed down--luxury ideal for the millions.

·Air Kings never appealed to me, but that one, man I don't know, there is just something about it that grabbed my attention.😒
I kinda dig it.
Oh and that yacht master, HOLY MOLY.

·Thanks everyone!
Yeah the YM is sweet! wears beautifully on the wrist. Looks large but its still only 40mm
AK was surprisingly nice esp with the logo colors
Explorer is now perfect in every way
And obviously the iconic Daytona was unbelievable.....White all the way!

Yes, I was extremely lucky to be able to participate - helps to be in NYC
Sorry to make your decision making process more difficult
but these are good problems right? hahaha
Get both the CK and RE!!
The YM is 40mm believe it or not. I bezel makes the overall look seem large but it does fit on my wrist
White Daytona is the one!!!!!!

·Yep me too!
On list for Daytona and Explorer... whenever it arrives and one is allocated to me is when it happens. Nothing can be done about that.
Although that YM is tempting too!
But first, I will take arrival of my CK in July (hopefully) - OB in NY has said Omega is shooting to get first batch out to NY by that date. We will see if that actually happens ;-) crossing my fingers

Looking at the AK more closely I think it would be better if the 3,6,and 9 were 15, 30, and 45

With out a doubt it would, and maybe even slightly smaller numerals.

·It's always a bit odd to me that the press watches are often not functional. To me the pusher feel and the movement of the hands are a critical piece of "meeting" a watch for the first time.

·I've never even taken a second look at a YM in the past. This one is incredibly eye catching though! Rolex really did a phenomenal job on updating their lines this year.

That is hilarious!! But if that was the AK - that would be a serious contender to buy (and it's actually $300 cheaper than Explorer1)
