The 11 series Daytona with its more flowing organic case lines and bolder dial is now THE ss Daytona to own. The new 12 series Daytona metal ring under the ceramic is now a insert and going to be a scratch and ding magnet. The blocky super case is also a fail.
Thank you for another great video mate. I enjoyed every second. Please keep it coming. Thank you for another great video mate. I enjoyed every second. Please keep it coming.
Notice, Eric, that the metal trim at the outside of the ceramic on the Daytona now puts the Daytona into the design frame where the Submariner and the GMT-II already are living.
Any predictions on what happens to the older model Platonas? I remember predictions of them sky rocketing if discontinued, but with a similar replacement, are they just gonna tank?
For the most part, I agree with Eric's take (especially on the Daytona changes). QUESTION FOR ERIC: With the new, open clear case back on the Plat Daytona, doesn't that mean that the existing Plat Daytona (with solid case back) is now discontinued? Especially the solid case back Plat Daytona with baguette indices??
I just got the new Explorer 1, simple, clean and just perfect... I also got the normal black GMT master 2 and the skydweller blue dial. I think my daily is gonna be my explorer 1 40mm.
Ma786sai Dua mine is a D Series 2005 solid 18 carat Yellow gold with the 8 diamond dots. Ref 116528, Black laqer dial. I was offered a 2009 gold Sub black dia Ref 116618. Do I swap?
re: daytona - wasnt the point of using ceramic to be less destructible than metal? now its surrounded by a ring of thin (malleable) metal in the very place where dings/hits occur most often?
Since they rectified the Daytona bezel, now i see what it is that i did not like about the Daytona compared to the other models. Now its beautiful to me!
Great roundup. Congrats in advance on the GMT - that is the winner. Incredible presence. The Yachtmaster will be interesting: I have done consulting in auto and airplane industries so familiar with Ti - but many aren’t and when I hand them my Pelagos 39 they think the lack of weight means no value. We all know Rolex will sell all of them.
Bravo Eric 🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍deep analysis and right thoughts as usual ! Will be waiting for new reviews of those models .. Tomorrow will visit my AD to change my list a little bit 😎😎😎😎😎
Can we get Eric’s opinion on drake’s current rolex collection ? Well 1/3 of what he posted. Would love hear ur opinion, Especially with you delving more into vintage
Im not happy with the Daytona tbh :/ Im so used to the no ring looks from all the years it looks like shit rn, at least the display case on all models wouldve been nice, pobably will get used to it lol.
the Nautilus would have been better if the elimitated the 12 O'clock number totally..>.they elimitated the 6 O'clock number for the date....why didnt they just eliminate the 12.....would have been symetric at least. Its attractive model either way.
Stopping the popular Daytona dials was a play to boost grey market values. The emoji & inspirational word President is also Rolex throwing spaghetti on the wall to see what sticks. The grey black bezel GMT is a Watch design by committee: some wanted the all black and others said we need two colors on our GMT bezel, the compromised (it’s the only one I would have, at list). Rolex ADs getting desperate with the sag in resale values.
John mayor is an ugly watch .., green dial is ugliest… the rolex green tones are ugly..why doesn’t Mercedes make green cars, women wear green dresses… because the color is ugly… yet people believe the hype
I’m glad you love the GMT! I picked one up a couple months ago from the AD ☺️ and in love it!!! my favorite watch. EVER.
The rose gold & blue dial skydweller is going to he a BANGER in person...

Is the puzzle dial on the day date for AUTISM awareness?
Eric always gives us the honest low down on all this without the back packing dealer BS. Greetings from the UK. ❤

great vid my guy! be well. thanks for the hospitality when I stopped by!!
What about the daytona chocolate oysterflex? is it also discontinued?
Notice, Eric, that the metal trim at the outside of the ceramic on the Daytona now puts the Daytona into the design frame where the Submariner and the GMT-II already are living.
The case of the Daytona is now a true 40mm rather than a 38.5mm. It has more of the maxicase look like the GMT with sharp edges and also sits higher
Love your insights
Your wish list called it correct. Respect to the Guru!
Eric: Just got the gmt yg jubilee. It is insane. Have you yet to get one in your hand yet? Would love a review on it. Matt
Hi Eric , love to see a review of the new titanium Yachtmaster any time soon?
Enjoyed your review Eric. That gold GMT is a beauty. Cool
1980s vibe. Overall, Nice year for Rolex. 😎

Eric, excellent overview of the new releases! I'm looking forward to your hands on reviews of them. Especially the yellow gold GMT!
Mike
Crokett and Tubbs 👍
The gold jubilee !!👍👍👍👍🖖🖖🖖
As always, good stuff , thank you.
WAS WAITING FOR THIS VIDOE FOR A DAMN WHILE
Love the open back
Any predictions on what happens to the older model Platonas? I remember predictions of them sky rocketing if discontinued, but with a similar replacement, are they just gonna tank?
“If you don’t own one I don’t think you have the right to correct anybody!” Hahaha love this guy!
I would wish just a green second on GMT, I might go for the two tone.
Beautiful new Rolex and Patek watches.
I agree with most of your takes as always. Nailed it. Rolex must of been drunk for a few of them but overall solid.
Yellow gold GMT is a home run🎉🎉🎉🎉👏🏽👍🫶🏽 I hope everyone hates the titanium yacht master so I can get one😂😂😂
I miss you doing this in front of the bay. Felt like a yearly ritual.
The rain was crazy

LOVE the jigsaw. Not sure why. But its just so cool.
ID on the sunglasses?
That GMT is fire, I agree it is a home run.
Very smart the Rolex brand associating its image with Patek !
Was Waittingg!!
Open case back means less platinum on the watch though 🧐
They did change the case size. People reported that now the watch is actual 40mm rather than 38,5.
I just got the new Explorer 1, simple, clean and just perfect... I also got the normal black GMT master 2 and the skydweller blue dial. I think my daily is gonna be my explorer 1 40mm.
I really loved the two toned grand master chime
Ma786sai Dua mine is a D Series 2005 solid 18 carat Yellow gold with the 8 diamond dots. Ref 116528, Black laqer dial. I was offered a 2009 gold Sub black dia Ref 116618. Do I swap?
Whats up with the sun glasses ?
Great vid and I LOVE the yellow gold GMT. Def more Miami than London though 😂
Lv your vids as always
With the Milgauss being discontinued, what do you think will happen to the Air King? I believe they shared a lot of the same parts.
Good review mate . That gold jubilee rolex is nice. Cheers for your work
I think the puzzle daydate is cool. It's a women's watch but cool nonetheless. Something new and different, refreshing.
💪🏿💯 you should do a review on the titanium yacht
re: daytona - wasnt the point of using ceramic to be less destructible than metal? now its surrounded by a ring of thin (malleable) metal in the very place where dings/hits occur most often?
Totally agree with eric. Nice review bro.
3:01 - he especially loves the Leopard Skin daytona 😅
The Calatrava looks like Louis Vuitton timepieces. Interestingly enough, LV stole Patek designers to make their timepieces.
The solid platinum Daytona with baguettes diamonds and without brown subdials is gone. All new platinum Daytona now has brown subdials
All baquette diamond Daytona's gone except platinum model
Great video, yachtmaster for me, one day hopefully a mop 40mm day date…
Since they rectified the Daytona bezel, now i see what it is that i did not like about the Daytona compared to the other models. Now its beautiful to me!
Great roundup.

the Seiko sports gmt has the black and grey bezel.
Sad that they got rid of all the interesting coloured Dials and didn't add any more
Explorer One should never have been larger than 38mm, this "Gigantism" must come to an end!
Imagine the gold root beer on gold jubilee!
hey Eric, Your on point gmt is hot
I love eric's sunnies
Bravo Eric 🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍deep analysis and right thoughts as usual ! Will be waiting for new reviews of those models .. Tomorrow will visit my AD to change my list a little bit 😎😎😎😎😎

Especially with you delving more into vintage
Shure mics are paramount 😂
“ say mazal your in”😂
That 42 Yatchy excellent daily 👌 over a submariner
What’s going to happen with 116500 panda prices?
Already gone up as well as the black one on chrono 24.
Is the sun shining in the studio?
Im not happy with the Daytona tbh :/ Im so used to the no ring looks from all the years it looks like shit rn, at least the display case on all models wouldve been nice, pobably will get used to it lol.
I love the Patek releases not so much the Rolex releases
On gmts Rolex is not going back to single colored bezel
the Nautilus would have been better if the elimitated the 12 O'clock number totally..>.they elimitated the 6 O'clock number for the date....why didnt they just eliminate the 12.....would have been symetric at least. Its attractive model either way.
Just spoke to my AD and sadly not likely to see the YM 42 - they will be as rare as the 50mm apparently
You need to find a new AD then!
Next year same gmt in SS
Jigsaw day date is a awesome looking watch, and I would wear it on my 7.5 inch wrist 😊
Totally agree. Love it.! Stunning and will be desirable
You used to be able to by hulks all day long nobody wanted them because the green… then they named it hulk and created hype
YM RLX Titanium is the big winner for me.
But I really get that you like the Yellow Gold GMT Jubilee. Very Sexy.
Was told the titanium will be the least available model
New releases are deliberately released slow to hype the model.
🎉🎉🎉
GMT is premo
What’s the point of these releases if you can’t buy any?
Eric gets dressed in the dark...everyday
Mazal 😝😭
Lololol
Sooooooo... Why are you wearing sunglasses inside the house?
Milgras ha ha I don’t even consider that a rolex - discontinue it please
The gray on the gold gmt jubilee looks like crap they should of kept the bezel all black.
W option for oyster bracelet as well
I prefer this version to each their own
so many nice brands and I hear about rolexand pattek all the time it is boring...
Poor taste how could somebody get a sport watch in solide gold ….
Aquanauts are horrible
Ring does not look great I like the old dail not the ceramic it’s to shiney
It’s easy I don’t like the pateks

Surprised you did nothing on vacheron or Tudor. They killed it. Way better than patek or rolex
Ha the explorer is crap
