And there in a nutshell you have the conservative mindset of the vast majority of Rolex wearers.
If they had put minimal effort in & relaunched the Coke the excitement levels on this forum would have been off the scale, yet they launch a new reference with host of new features for the first time in years, & the response is well…..meh…
All Rolex needs to do is makes watches with 1) a plain dial colour 2) Use either batons or circles in a uniform way as hour markers 3) ensure the bezel has two colours on it or go full green 4) Keep to the two strap types Oyster & Jubilee. Variations on those themes would make 90% of Rolex owners happy.
Stick to the ‘icons’, the classics, think of the heritage, the history. For heck’s sake don’t think of the future or trying something different……!!
Above is contentious I know, but for the time I’ve been on this forum after every Watches & Wonders there’s a general consensus of ‘that was a bit of a let down, nothing new yet again’. So Rolex launches something new & the consensus is generally one of derision. There’s only so many ways you can vary the DNA of a Rolex tool watch….
