Refreshing. I feel like sometimes we forget most of this hobby is purely subjective - we don't all need to agree on if a watch is nice to look at. I'm not into it, but I'm all for the occasional weird design.

i legit laugh every time i see this watch it is so ugly...

on another note. I am very happy with my SubC date and TT datejust... now just need the White Daytona / Blue SkyD and ill be complete for a while!

I was interested in the Pepsi, but with the new BLNR, i think all the hype will die and production will be amped up

My AD and I talked 2 days ago so after these releases he knew he didn't need to call me this morning.

Content, but still have things I'd like to own from Rolex (nothing from this year).

Happier than ever with what I have. The Datejust update is OK, but other than that, the new stuff is pretty weak.

All they are doing is driving up the prices on my 5 digits so I’m a happy guy.

Better than the Patek releases for 2019, me thinks.

Very content with what my AD delivered to me in the last 2 months, a 116519LN, BLNR and BLRO.

Told him I wasn't interested in anything today and he was not surprised.

Happy to sit back and enjoy what I have before chasing after the next shiny object.

I think this one might be a sleeper, video from Tudor appears to show a locking bezel using the end links. Tudor did deliver a tool watch with this one. I’m liking it the more I look at it.

I’ll just keep what I have for now as far as Rolex is concerned.

The more unpopular it is, the more likely I am to get one.

When you consider all the whining about the desecration of the tool watch motif by Rolex, you'd think that the reception for this one would be thunderous.

I was totally underwhelmed today. Nothing came from Rolex that is on my buy list.

The new DJ’s was what I spent the most time looking at.

That said my 5 digit DJ and Sub C are looking good today.

I'm very happy with my current collection. I will concentrate on hopefully obtaining past Basel releases as the new ones are of no interest to me.

Well, I’ve made fun of every watch Rolex and Tudor introduced, but none were watches I was interested in before the change ! So, yep I’m happy with what I have for now !

Definitely happy with my subC date. The meteorite BLRO is pretty nice, although unfortunate also a pretty penny. Fingers crossed for better releases next year.

Well on one hand I'm happy 2 (of 3) of my Rolexes went vintage today (LN/BLNR).

Personally not a fan of the SS jubilee GMTs (but movement is nice). I love the SS PCL Oyster bracelet.

Now I have 3 vintage models, I almost feel like I need to buy a production watch as my new daily beater.

I will be seeking out some 2014-2018 releases. Nothing from this year. Other than the sunburst dial on the dj36 that is.

Exactly this. Not too long after buying my 114060 I got rid of all of my other watches, and I’ve never looked back.

To me it’s the ultimate collection killer...

Don’t want a date window.
Don’t want a GMT complication.
Don’t want a chronograph.
Don’t want any colors - just keep mine monochrome thank you!

Picked up a 116610LV and a 116710 BLNR this month and I think I’m quite content with these for hopefully the foreseeable future, albeit I’ve always had a soft spot for the SkyD and or a CHNR!

I have my TT Bluesy and just added a Seadweller last week, I'm very happy with my two and can't see me adding another watch, until I can afford a WG Daytona on OF

I'm happy with what I have. The only 6 digit watch I can see me buying at this point is a 214270.

For a very little bit when I bought my 116613lb last week I thought I might have been better keeping my ND subc and adding the supposed Tudor diver.

Or maybe just trying to move into the SS Sub C black and/or blue that some people suggested was coming.

Since the Tudor P01 (pos) is not to my liking and an all SS blue type sub isn't on tap for this year, I'm very happy I moved into the TT sub.

very happy with my collection and was not looking to add anything anyway. The WGYMOF actually has me considering a pick up so in a way Rolex exceeded my expectations. I know im in the minority though

As for Tudor. no comment

All you need in any year to make it a success is ONE watch you really like. More than that, its probably just an abstract discussion to almost everyone anyway. No idea why people need there to be 10 watches they really like....every year
