The daytona is a massive let down. I really don't like it that much. Would much rather have the white gold version.

That new GMT is equally stunning. I have to see it in person but it may take over the PP Aquanaut as a future watch of mine.

Daytona is and always will be out of my price range and that horrible chestnut bezel makes me feel much better about that.

Like the stella dial DD but would never buy/wear it.

oh, i think that daytona could look and FEEL awesome!

GMT? the bi-color is a nice advance, even if black and blue doesn't make me dream. looks good, though.

steel YMII? i guess they have to try to make some money on the movement, and it looks nice, but, not for me.

the day-dates are pretty sweet! especially the two rose golds and the blue.

Wow I'd only seen the green one.

Some of those are very nice.

I am very happy with what Rolex have done

I'm digging the brown with blue on the Daytona. Great look.

Blue and black on the GMT, however... not so much.

Will be very hard to get for at least the next year if you ask me.

I think with the current releases I may have to do a 180 and head back into vintage territory!

Black & Blue GMT, hats off for developing the ceramic bi-colour technology but not the first colour combo I'd have chosen

Me 2

Not really in love with any of the new ones. Have to wait for a gold or SS Daytona-c. The new color combo looks like a fake imo.

YMII looks ok, but think the price won´t be that ok.

RG Day-Date looks amazing though! Unfortunately 36mm look like a girls watch on me.

I am a sucker for GMTs generally, but the bi-color black/blue looks especially sweet!

So what are we going to call the new GMT - Poke or Cepsi?

It is looking like of all the theories about the bi-color bezel, the one that appears most plausible right now is not so much the one about it being difficult to put two colors together as much as the theory about them having difficulty with making a red ceramic.

In any event, I guess the bracelet was not a 21.

Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh. My AD says probably the end of the year.

I tried one on yesterday! It looks stunning, just a shame I couldn't actually buy it - already sold!
