I wonder if I'm the only one that won't be calling the dealer first thing. These seem anticlimactic for me. I'm sad to be honest! I wanted something new!

Was hoping Sub blue had a blue dial like the GMT.

Honestly I'm underwhelmed. I'm with you. I don't get the new watches. They new LVC, why...the original was to commemorate fifty years, so what does it mean now, nothing I guess. And the white gold, you're paying thirty plus grand for just a blue bezel, seriously Rolex.

I don't know, these look nice but not new Rolex watch in 2020 nice. People have done the shark mod which is now an official watch, it wasn't that fantastic as a mod, and now as white gold for $39k, nah bruh.

For the first time since being an enthusiast, I seriously prefer the previous year. The thinner lugs are nice, but that's it.

Me too, $39k for a slither of blue bezel, because that's all I "see", I know you "feel" the difference, but visually......that blue bezel isn't worth $39k to "see".
Not even a sunburst black dial, or matte or anything, come on...

The NEW SUB is a BEAUTY! Will be a hot reference. Rolex has listened to those who asked for an aesthetic similar to its previous references and it is spectacular!!!!

Ditto, but like the new Kermit.

For the most part, sort of the opposite of what I’m looking for. But, I’m always excited to see new stuff and pumped to see the incomings. The blue bezel sub is pretty cool though.

Considering what's going on in the world and that we went from zero new watches and no Basel to this I think this is all great.

Personally I don't care for the sky dweller on OF, fluted dials are too dressy for rubber. Easy pass.

I'll reserve final judgement until I see them in person, but some of the colors on those OP's are terrible.

The blue bezel looks the same as the YG's so I take it the green bezel will remain the same as on the Hulk's, which then without the green dial is a misstep, the milky bezel was the weakness. Love to see real pics.

Totally agree... PM price just to get a blue bezel? No thanks.

a bit underwhelming, but consistent with their approach to "New Releases".

I agree w/ you on the blue bezel, however, I look down at my BLNR and though "too similar" and not worth it. Yes I understand they're much different.

It is cool to see new things though!

I like the ice blue on the OP, altho if that is the same shade as on the Plats then that hurts their exclusivity, but all those colours looks a bit desperate.

I know this is a Rolex forum, but I have to say...

There is nothing at all classy about any of Rolex's releases this year IMHO.

If I were to walk into an AD now fully stocked with every new release, I don't think I'd take a single one of them.

I've never been drawn to subs, so the increase in size and mild bezel variations does nothing for me.

I'm a fan of the OP range generally, but these are monstrosities. They are the polar opposite of the classy OP models now discontinued (olive green 34, explorer dial blue 36, white and black 39s etc). The green dial intrigues me slightly and I reserve judgment, but that would have to be more as a 4th or 5th watch for novelty value.

Sky-dweller on a rubber... just what is the point.
