Haha. This is so spot on. You beat me to it. This was exactly my first thought when I saw the releases.

Easy tweak to make and Rolex look lazy and bloated these days, worse year I can remember, they really are just revelling in this market, not innovating, bad sign.

With Rolex as lazy and powerful as this, the whole fleet of SS Explorers are under threat.

No change this year. They are doing movements in phases. Finished out GMT, DD and DJ line this year. I would imagine sub next year.

Nah they've done it with DJ. That’s the only thing that fill the display on many ADs.
