I think my "old style" Daytona suddenly is going up in value.
The new Explorer looks awesome

Marc_Quadra · 23 March 2011, 11:33 PM

The black one is beautiful, I love it !

Ehhh... What's up, Doc?!

Call me Bugs and sign me up if it's a 40mm, possibly if it's a 42!

Christiaan · 23 March 2011, 11:59 PM

I'll take a polar EXII and a chocolate dialed Daytona, thanks!

Grumpy Badger · 24 March 2011, 12:14 AM

Oh, hell. Expy defiantly 42mm...

I guess I'll have to wait till I can see one in the flesh rather than just order now...

If it had been a 40mm I'd have been on the phone to my AD but WHY have Rolex super sized it??? It's a tool watch, why are they sizing it for Premiership Footballers?!

Only if it can have Diamonds and Gold as options, i think you will be safe

[QUOTE=Speed;2384843]So I will ask again...anyone think the black bezel will make its way to the main Daytona line now or later???

Hey Speed: The reason you might have had to ask again, might be because the first time you referred to Ceramic Dial insead of Black Bezel. I was confused a while also. Now Will they put that bezel on the rest of the models? I don't know. I'm not sure I care for it on the rose gold model, I would have liked to see a more traditional looking bezel. Regards: Casey

Agree, 40mm if just perfect IMHO but at least they did not bump it up to +45mm...

What is it about the YM that you dislike so much? I think it looks sharp. The two tone contrast brings the blue and white together?

ExplorerII in Black.....STUNNING!!!

DOUBLE 0 SE7EN · 24 March 2011, 01:02 AM

The only thing I like is the expII black..it looks like it has an anti-reflective coating..or it has a matte dial.. But nothing for me...The Sub-c LV still on the top of the list...

submaniac · 24 March 2011, 01:03 AM

That Yachtmaster is horrific, nice update to the explorer though

geepee · 24 March 2011, 11:38 AM

Why am I unable to view any photos? What am I doing wrong?

Crystal: Scratch-resistant sapphire
CYCLOPS lens (2.5 ×) over the date, double anti-reflective coating Waterproofness 100 metres (330 feet)

bewithabob · 24 March 2011, 12:33 PM

i am reserving judgement on these new ones until I can see them in person, but that orange hand is niceeeeee...

timeisfathaoftruth · 24 March 2011, 12:33 PM

Two out of three ain't bad!!!

Love the explorer and the daytona seriously interests me....and some things are best left unsaid.....

DT14 · 24 March 2011, 12:59 PM

Rolex Basel 2011 = Huge Disappointment!! An interesting change to the Exp II and a bunch of others that are almost hard to look at. The word "garish" comes to mind.

X2. I agree...as I stated previously...BORING! If this is it, what a waste of 12 months worth of anticipation.
