To be honest, every carried over reference from last year looks slightly different on the NEW Rolex website. From the bezels to the bracelets to the dials, all slightly different. And this is expected as they are computer generated images.

On another note, I was going to start a new thread on the topic of the new Rolex website ... I know it's new and more modern and interactive, and I'll get used to it soon enough, but does anyone else feel as though the new website is harder to navigate and less user friendly than the previous one?

I grabbed the pictures for the new LV from the Rolex website & luckily I had a screenshot for the old one also from Rolex website

It’s clear the bezel green color is different



Do you guys think that the previous one will be a collectible piece ?

Should we give the new release a different name other than Starbucks or cermit ?

What’s the big deal with that ?????? There have been multiple color variations over the years on ceramic bezel shades. For example, 126710 BLRO is on MK3 or 4 by now …..

Agreed. This makes no sense. This isn’t like the flat four, which is pretty obvious just by looking.
People aren’t looking up Pantone hues when they are buying a watch.

This looks like a lighting render issue. Look at the dial colors.

Don’t understand why it’s 100% from Rolex themselves to ADs

Pablito now only you can confirm ok when you do come back and say -94- was right very strange you don’t believe

Nothing about rendering the information is confirmed in person by Rolex

Waste of of thread more waste of time trying to give you information that is 100% true please come back after you verify yourself and say sorry I not believe you

Very funny reactions I tell you I found out and keep saying other way but you have no information to make your view

Bezel has changed Rolex has said it in seminar to ADs today!

If this is true this is huge news.

The Starbucks just exploded in value. If you’re lucky enough to have this piece - with only a 3 year run, you could be sitting on 100k.

Rolex never fails to throw us curveballs

It is 100% true and less than 3 years 2 1/2 from announcing but really about 2 years available

Because Rolex just decided to change their flagship watch.

We had a 2 year run on the LV - pushing the very small handful that are out there into collectors status.

Very disappointing for people one the this for LVs, hope they like the lighter bezel

Those images are not real-life images. They are renderings. They are not accurate.

I know. I tried. I produced evidence.

The bezel colour may well have changed. But people need to stop using computer generated renders as "proof"

They are not real

Proof is in from Rolex themselves they tell ADs earlier today in seminar on new watches people don't believe don't know why so just go ask Rolex yourself if you don't believe

I'm new so trouble understanding why no one say thank you -94- for giving us information I try to help people

I'm not arguing with you.

I'm saying the renders cannot be used to prove this.

I asked how you found out. We like to know these things becase there is so much misinformation spread on this forum that is not true.

Did your AD tell you? ADs have got it wrong so many times that we tend not to believe "my AD said"

Rolex confirmed the changes? Where? In a "seminar" or to an AD?

Let's see the definitive proof. Until then, this is just internet smoke and mirrors.

This has been confirmed at least by people that saw it in person at WW2023. Adrian Barker posted a video of it shown at around 1 minute mark.
I also don't think it's a big deal at all. 126710 BLRO bezel insert went through at least 3 revisions.

Edit: Didn't realize someone else already made a post about this in another thread. Now I can't tell if Adrian Barker is click baiting. In the video he is describing it as a being a "Much brighter green"

Rolex does an online Teams-presentation for all the ADs sales staff, and it's confirmed it's a new hue.

What more, the serial number will be linked to the type of insert, so if you break your insert and go to an AD, you will receive a MK1 bezel if you have a MK1 watch and so on.

The new insert will have some sort of marking on the back of it to indicate it is a MK2 bezel.

They did the colour change to more liken the lighter hue of the original 16610LV insert, they felt the current one was too dark.

from the pictures above the bezel colour is just like my hulk, which means the mk1 bezel colour is different from hulk?
