Does everyone hate the puzzle dial or are there any fans?

I really like the dial, but would have to swap out the two wheels to wear it.
Everything is cyclic, remember the Rolex nobody wanted - that dealers had to almost give away? Yes the Paul Newman Daytona!

Can you say more about that? I haven't been paying much attention, but I casually noticed vintage pieces sitting around for longer, and not much quality stuff out there. Yesterday I visited one of the largest preowned dealers in the US and discussed this with one of the SA's there (longtime friend). He said, "The vintage market is dead right now. I don't mean flat -- I mean dead. Nobody is buying, people are only looking for deals, and most people with the good stuff aren't trying to sell it."

I'm not arguing. I'm just curious what you've observed vs. what this SA said yesterday.

I'm sure this guy would like it, how times have changed.

Haha except Cary Grant wore a Cartier Tank but I get the point

I quite like the puzzle dial, not so much the naff "inspirational" day-wheels. And there's something still naffer -- perhaps verging on uncanny -- about a magnified emoji.

I actually quite like it

I think the blue background on the Wjite & yellow gold works better than the orange on the rose gold

It’s human nature to resist change, especially for a brand like Rolex and it’s followers that appreciate models like the Submariner, DD and DJ, where little change in designs can be noticed over many generations.

A bit like Porsche enthusiasts who don’t like their 4x4 offerings.

This makes so much sense.

Such as a Rolex x Swatch collaboration.

Oh wait...

Does it have something to do with autism awareness? Portion of Proceeds going to a cause? Otherwise, I don't understand it.

Nothing like a puzzling dial.

Not for me…I don’t get the hype

No.

I'm shocked at the lack of negativity tbh. Emoji Love President. It's been compared to the PN Daytona.

I’d totally get one!!
