Gone are the days of the rugged utilitarian... Many of us are sad about that. For God's sake even the Deep Sea they've turned solid Gold... Yes, I know the 16618 and even 1680/8 and all that, but everything is just so "bling" today.

There’s a whole catalogue of SS Rolex watches. There were recent overhauls of the SS Daytona and Submariner lines. New lefty GMT. Titanium models…..

This year was more gold and show, yes, but it’s not a point of rupture, IMHO. Just a bit of focus on another part of the catalogue that’s been around for a LONG time, too. And a number of the new 36mm Day-Dates are beautiful….
