I know I'm late to the party here, but I think the new Rolex and Tudor models are great. I've seen some grumbling on the board, but to my mind the attention to classic design and the gradual and subtle improvements to them are really remarkable. Remember last year -- flowers on the date? Super bling datejusts? And before that -- polished center links on the GMTIIc. I think the new subs look awesome and I love that they went with brushed center links. The new Explorer -- also great. Love the matte finish and the slightly larger, but not too large case. Some complain of short hands, but they look OK to me in pictures.

And the best of all is the Tudor Monte Carlo homage. OMG. I'm drooling. That watch flat out rocks.

Yes, I agree. Rolex can't be everything to everybody all the time, so there are bound to be some disappointed fans some years. Personally, I like this year's offerings - and yes, the new Tudor chrono is a real stunner!

For me, Rolex offering for this year is nice as I was waiting for the new Sub c, also i believe that what makes Rolex hold its value is the fact that they dont keep on introducing new models or enhancement on annual basis.

You've got a good point. You'll never be able to make everyone happy.
I think the Tudor Heritage is the best of the lot but I do like the new EXPI and SUB as well. The new LV is growing on me and although I'm not a huge dress watch fan, I do like the new Glamour big date Tudor.
