No One Expected This From Rolex | Watchfinder & Co.

Baselworld 2019 was an interesting event for a number of reasons, and not all them good. The big headline was the retraction of the Swatch Group, which left a lot of empty space in the display halls, followed by the disappointment in Rolex’s meagre turnout, with no big, exciting announcements made. Funny thing is that in amongst all the hubbub, Rolex quietly added a watch to its website that is unlike anything anyone ever expected—and that’s the watch we’ve got here today.

Featured Watches:
Rolex GMT-Master II 126719BLRO

The fact that the red paint on the gmt hand, near the arrow isn’t perfect, on a watch at this price point is shocking

Its funny how i get Porsche commercials before your videos. They must think i could afford these watches.

[viriatvsoflvsitania]

So... what's the waiting list on this one? Is it 10 Billion years until another meteorite hits Earth?

@ 4:47 Notice paint spots on base of 24 hour hand triangle. That can't be right. How could this pass unnoticed by Rolex?

[jamespeters]

The tip of that GMT hand looks like it was finished by a toddler with a red crayon. Absolutely shocking on a piece at this price point.

I wonder if this is a first copy watch few clues here and there.
Glue Residue : 0:22
Paint Splash : 4:48

Regarding the bloodbath on the GMT hand.  I get the feeling Rolex QC couldn't give a toss about their product.  Hans Wilsdorf  will be turning in his grave.  Rolex, take note this is unacceptable!

[billclifton]

I think this is going to become massively collectable in the future in the same way that the green dial Daytona suddenly took off

[ralpherizonie]

4:48 look at the mistake rolex made with the terrible 4 splodges of read paint overspill on the red hand terrible quality control lovely watch but Rolex this is poor standards by Rolex not the top quality id expect no matter how tiny

[brianpowell]

In theory, I like the romance of meteor.

In reality, it looks like a linen dial.

Almost amazing, till you see the q.c. errors (noted by many observers here) and consider the widespread availability of low price watches that have a meteorite dial. Just saw a discounted Invicta Pro Diver with a meteorite dial on sale for Disappointing and I like Rolex.

[ruimpinho]

This video changed my mind on this watch. That dial is simply fantastic!

[timmainson]

1:35 Theres a bit of Tolkien in all of us.  Nice touch :)

Quality control issues: a black spot at the 8 o'clock marker and several red spots spilled at the base of the GMT hand triangle. Unacceptable for a Rolex!!

[LQDARESQ]

The finishing on the GMT hand is atrocious. GS > Rolex.

How to Spot a Fake Rolex: 1)Paint splashes where they don't belong. Oh, wait a minute...

[BigDutchKingTut]

This was clearly Rolex testing the waters, thats why they didn't say anything about it. Just a test to see how ppl react to it. If it works great, they'll do it again. If not, they kill it off and more than likely pass the design off to Tudor at a more affordable price and win still.

[nekeke]

Black spot at the 8 o'clock marker. Serious QC issue at Rolex. Look at 2:08 and 5:25

That lecture about a meteorite is just hilarious! He should explain what a condom is next time.
