Doesn't Rolex LISTEN to it's customers? Now, IMO they have ruined the Sub line.....Too bad they didn't add PCLs that would have finished killing it. Well, maybe that's in the works for next year.

NonServiam · 17 March 2010, 09:59 PM

Well, Tudor is certainly right on the money!

As bad as I hate to admit it, I am with you, Steve. Just not my cup of tea.

Tudor is definitely getting it right!

Tunacan26 · 17 March 2010, 10:01 PM

So, does this mean a blue SS Sub is coming our way? Hold the diamonds for me however.

Nicko · 17 March 2010, 10:01 PM

Now, those Tudors are BEAUTIFUL!

Colnago · 17 March 2010, 10:03 PM

Yep....the Tudors look brilliant.....love the knurled crowns......the black ceramic Sub looks good too

Lol-x · 17 March 2010, 10:03 PM

I think the good stuff is yet to arrive.
I like the maxi dial on the new SS (black dial) Submariner.

Just wait for the EXII makeover, and lets see what Date-Justs and Daytonas might be coming

Hopefully some big things.

Sure hope you're right, Steve!

chriseskew24 · 17 March 2010, 10:06 PM

Ugh that green sub is not very good looking at all IMHO. But hey it is st pattys day

Lol-x · 17 March 2010, 10:06 PM

Those Tudors with the 'home plate' dials are great looking retro re-introductions.

They will be a hit for sure. How is the one with a nato strap too

TheDude · 17 March 2010, 10:08 PM

The Exp appears to have a matte dial, which is a big step in the right direction.

IMO, they needed to round the numerals (don't like the squaring that happened on the last refresh) and I don't particularly like the wg surrounds on the numerals.

Why not barely visible black surrounds on a matte black dial?

Yes, hands appear a bit small.

I still might buy one. :)

CoopJr · 17 March 2010, 10:10 PM

OK...I'll be the first one...I like that green sub! From Kermit to the Hulk indeed!

What say ye buddy Spuds?

Lol-x · 17 March 2010, 10:10 PM

I guess Rolex/Tudor figure there is one way to get into the $$$ going around in the vintage watch market.........make their own vintage reintroductions. The Milgauss and now the Tudor Chrono are just 2 examples......

What about the 1655 Explorer II with the big orange 24 hour hand

nauticajoe · 17 March 2010, 10:13 PM

We have the whole St. Patty's theme going on with the Sub. I'm not feeling it. The Expy's nice.

marke · 17 March 2010, 10:17 PM

I have already placed my order with my contact at Rolex for the new Tudor.... Monte Carlo come on down

lek0708 · 17 March 2010, 10:18 PM

The green sub seems to be British-racing green. It's more understated, but I'd rather have seen a blue SS sub- no diamonds.

If they have redone the Monte Carlo I would say the new Explorer II is a given

Lol-x · 17 March 2010, 10:24 PM

I agree Lauren a blue dial SS Submariner (in a deep ocean blue) would have been much preferred IMHO.

That green dial is going to be somewhat out there as left field to many.

i think the blue sub with diamonds is white gold... not SS

Fozzy · 17 March 2010, 10:31 PM

The green Sub is a big no go for me and the black Subs maxi dial is too busy some how. I'm so glad I bought a 16610 when I did.

I have to say though, Tudor is really ticking all the boxes with their latest offerings.

How 'bout THAT!!!!
I never would have guessed Tudor would do this. These might show up with the return of US Tudor AD's.

But I'll travel if that's what it takes.

marke · 17 March 2010, 10:32 PM

somebody go and wake dan pierce he will love the new tudors.....

agree with lauren does look like BRG not to sure whether i will want one, will have to have a proper look when the watches come over to Rolex bexley Hq

I think you are right on that. Its just the WG smurf blue dial with stones. But the point remains why not a blue dial SS instead of that green

I think the corporate 'green' has gone to Rolex's head a little

Rscmaine · 17 March 2010, 10:33 PM

This dial looks a Invicta watch with a Rolex name on it.
