Over here in the colonies the opposite seems to be the case. My AD can't wait for a new no date sub like the subc. He says they can't give away the old style. Any of the newer styles they seem to be able to sell easily.

With the development times necessary for newer designs, and given how long the gold subc and the gmt11c cases have been around I suspect the change in CEO has nothing to do with watch styles, and more likely to do with management style or some other political thing.

The profit margins fell??

I strongly doubt

It is all pointless speculation. We simply don't know why they changed CEO, if it was the Board's doing or perhaps Meier didn't approve of the supervision/direction given to him by the Board. Or health reasons. Why knows? Why speculate?

I dont think the CEO would have much say in the designs but only having what 3 new watches at basel this year was kinda lame

htc8p · 6 May 2011, 12:54 PM

probably doesnt matter much to me. rolex NEVER changes....

snowbird · 6 May 2011, 01:18 PM

I'm sure he's very competent, but 64 is pretty darn old for a new CEO. It reminds me of the final days of the Soviet Union when all the new leaders were old.
