NEW Rolex = Most Disappointing Yet: Watches & Wonders 2024

Wow. I don't think I've ever been so disappointed with a Rolex release. NEW Rolex = Most Disappointing Year Yet: Watches & Wonders 2024. So we have a few new releases from the brand: GMT Master II with grey/black bezel now available in stainless steel. One of the more exciting pieces of the year (although I have no interest in buying one) the platinum 1908. 18K Yellow Gold Deepsea with Titanium caseback. A lot of new Day-Dates, a new Sky Dweller. All around a very meh year for Rolex. There isn't many models I'd imagine people will be sprinting to the AD for. I know I won't be. But those are just some of my thoughts. What do YOU think to the new Rolex releases?

HOW TO GET IN TOUCH WITH ME:

Britt I think the 1908 was one of the best releases with guilloche dial and platinum fairly priced. The Day Date were very nice also especially the Aqua mint dial.🤔The Yacht Master II range are discontinued. Never was big fan of them anyway.

[markchen]

probably some of the most boring watches ever

[sojirou]

The 1908 is the only highlight for me this year. Yet another GMT and no love for the Sub.

[jamesblonde]

I think the new Gold Sea Dweller hilarious, the first dive watch designed to drown you😂 Use instead of a weight belt.

[BennyLlama]

I was really hoping for a blue BB54. Hopefully next year.

Weirdly, the new BB58 GMT is a master chronometer, but the 18k gold 58 isn't. Maybe they'll build the METAS movement into the rest of the line next year.

Never understood Rolex, social symbol watches… completely lack of imagination nor soul 🤔

I had one of them, 30 years ago (submariner date), sold it and was really happy when buying an Omega Speedmaster with the money

They’ve got the blue dial day date rose gold without diamonds on the website. It’s immense, but it’s a 36 mm and cost more than a 41 mm date just in rose gold with Olive dial

[ippocampo]

I would buy the discontinued balck bezel Gmt instead of the new release

[AuntyArthur]

All these videos missing that Deepseas are now no longer Sea Dwellers. "Sea Dweller" text remove from all Deepseas. Quite a move. Dials are now different

[maxinahunt]

The 1908 is stunning except I will never be able to afford it.

A few updates:

Rolex Day-Date 36 in rose gold and aqua dial also comes with a fluted bezel which is STUNNING.

Rolex Day-Date 40 in yg with a green ombrè dial and one in wg with a blue ombrè dial which is BEAUTIFUL.

Rolex Daytona Le Mans and YM II discontinued.

Which website are you looking which shows priced

[jameskikuoka]

I think you missed the big change for Rolex this year, namely the emphasis on GOLD. Gold is now $2350/0unce and is poised to go to $3000+ this year. And now the new gold Deep Sea, without the Sea Dweller text (Important for collectors because of the change in dials), is the biggest and heaviest gold watch Rolex makes. You could be your own central bank with that watch! The Yacht MasterII in gold was previously the heaviest gold watch. It is now discontinued. Why gold? Because the rest of the world is now hoarding it;)

The Pepsi is still on the Rolex site. It’s almost like they won’t discontinue their most iconic watch 😂

Still a great update watch gringa!

[twistoffat]

Rolex, the art of putting different shades of lipstick on a pig whilst not realizing that they are devaluing the price of pork. Talk about turning your carnivore fan base into vegans

[mychetboy]

Its official...Tudor is better in every way than Rolex (for people like us0. Rolex is now ONLY concerned with the highest profit margins and delivering ugly watches for people with too much money. RIP Rolex.

[pete]

That 1908 is gorgeous, but that’s for an old rich guy, not me. The gold deep sea is insane, I think you’d have to be about the size of a defensive tackle to pull it off. I like the black grey GMT on steel, maybe not as exciting as blue, red, or green, but sometimes you don’t need bright colors

[DarkMso]

there is a green ombre dial on daydate 40 yellow gold. stunning

[edwintreffers]

Yep, kinda get what you're saying... The 'new' GMT looks great but so did the 2017 GMT with all black bezel.

Love the full gold deepsea but that's so not in agreement with my bank account... 😄

But that new Tudor GMT... really like that although it maybe a bit too small for me... need to see that on my wrist.

[stevehilliard]

Agreed - I would say this for most of Watches and Wonders releases. Tudor GMT + BB nice touch but nothing saying WoW
