So the LV stays .......................... This shoots the bottom out from under the speculators. Prices of pre-owned should drop now.

GAG ! ............................... dial is ugly on the new LV Green ceramic bezel shoots down the no colored bezel theory. Be interesting to see the Pepsi/Coke in ceramic on the GMT Master II

Not sure about this. What we're seeing seems to be a much different watch than the transitional LV with the classic case.

I don't have a crystal ball, but I'd venture the 16610LV will find it's place among collectors.

is this a "standard" rolex basel release?

i guess the ceramic steel submariner is, in the grand scheme of things, big news, but we saw it coming....and the new explorer is nice, but, really, just the minimum they could have done.

I don't think that's in the press kit because it's an existing model with a dial that has diamonds on it. The models listed in the pdf are all new.

I was thinking of the "ya gotta buy it now 'cause it's been discontinued" crowd of re-sellers we tend to see out side of our forum regulars. This should let the wind out of the sales of a bunch of them on eBay.

cool link thanks...but...is that It??

I hope that there's more to come.
So far I love the new sub..the Brushed centre links are such a good call!

39mm is a perfect size for the explorer.

I really hope there's more...

Really? 39mm for the Explorer?? Come on, Rolex...40mm is already pushing it. How about a 45mm Explorer? THEN I'd be on board!

Oh, and the green dial? Yeeesh.
