Glad to just have my black sub date 41! Like the new Daytonas, but impossible to get.

Did they change the bezel on the starbucks? The green looks a bit lighter now. It looked more dark before.

Left: Starbucks (new website, lighter)
Middle: LHD GMT (new website, darker)
Right: Starbucks (old website, darker)

In real life my 2023 LV looks more like the one on the right. It matches the green of the GMT.

I think in general the coloring on the website is a little different across the board and not an actual change to the watches. The black dial looks darker on the one on the right and I highly doubt that would have changed.

Tough crowd.
Ya I don’t get it, these guys must not have been around for previous new releases. Some of these updates are massive for Rolex especially the display back window. That’s crazy.

Yes, but I waste so much time looking at the movements I have already! Rolex may as well shorten my life, too!

Sapphire caseback is cool in theory, but the movements look so basic… at least have a nicer movement

Is the website just messed up currently? It's showing not-new watches as "new model".

No, I think those are all new versions of new models. Scroll and click.

There are a lot of new dials and variations.

I am so glad they kept the Daytona time only!! With 3 sub dials.

Did anyone see the puzzle piece dial day date? They replaced the days of the week and 1-31 with these affirmation words and... emojis. That is going to be very polarizing.

I’m also happy they didn’t change much on the Daytona, but would’ve been shocked if they had.

I wouldn’t ask Rolex to change anything about the Daytona’s size or proportions. That said, I don’t wear one because it’s a bit too small for my eyes. I would love a different model Rolex chronograph with a big grande date in the center and maybe 42 or 43 mm. Or is that too VC Overseas Gen2?

I think that’s gonna be their biggest hit… definitely will see all the celebs on insta wearing this one soon… Eventually it’ll become a collectors item imho… Very smart move from Rolex…

I also think the 1908 is amazing, although I would’ve preferred it in 37mm…

The GMTs are amazing!

I don't see this day date anywhere. Is this for real?

Apologies if this has been covered in the 900+ posts, but when do ADs expect to get allocations of the 2023 novelties?

They usually have at least one of each available at trunk show on launch. After VVIP is filled it's another 3 months post launch for a refill from what I've seen in Vegas.
