I also remember the days of the Oysterquartz and how much it was not loved at its peak popularity. The LD will be a popular niche watch for more the Rolex owner with a larger collection. The main competition of the LD will be the DJ41 and not any of the professional line.
What I can see now after the dust has settled from the LD release is how the senior and more advanced Rolex owners (on TRF and YouTube) are viewing its appeal for themself and it’s not great at this point when hype is at its highest. It’s a take it or leave it response in how they view it in their current/established collection of Rolex models.

I agree. After the first year of false scarcity they will pump these out like hotcakes. They will be in the same difficulty as getting a hot dial SS DJ41 on jubilee but not as hard as a professional line watch such as any GMT.
I also agree that those who will want it will have larger collections or possibly a one and done. If you have a small collection I don’t see you wanting this watch over a SS professional watch.
I personally have a collection of over 10 Rolexes with no DJs. So I’m interested in adding this in as a rotation piece.
