Disappointed I missed out on a 50th. Feels like everyone got something, including newbies (which isn't bad), but it sucks to miss out when you're an existing client and a true enthusiast vs. cashed-up insta watch wannabe's who end up flipping their watches within a short period of time and making a buck in the process. Even still, very few 50ths look to have made it to the secondary market - including women's watches. So perhaps the SA's vetted new clientele relatively well in the end.
That said, I like the fact they kept the gold rotors color-matched to the case for a year. It makes them different without being obnoxious. Yet, it is also nice to see the rotors return to their old form, including the updated rotors on the 37mm ROs. Everyone wins here. If you got a 50th, great, if not then the new watches still look great. Except those who can't get an allocation at all, which frankly I think is more pertinent to existing clientele, because if loyalty and spend isn't rewarded we'll eventually end up looking elsehwere (as evidenced by at least a couple of posts/threads in this subforum in recent months).

Are they continuing with the name on the certificate like on the 50th anniversary models?

Pretty sure the certificates were only for the 50th anniversary models (at least the certificate mentions the 50th anniversary in a couple of places).

Reviving an old thread as this seems like the right place to ask. Did all the 50ths come with a separate certificate (not just the green warranty card)? Or did just some of them?

I would take the non 50th rotor ANY day of the week.
I mean I don't hate the 50, but I just prefer the normal rotor.

There is a separate 50th certificate with the original buyers name hand written on by the boutique and signed by FHB. I actually like the 50th rotor as it’s obviously a 50th piece because the rotor isn’t 22 carat gold making it easily stand out whether this is just in your own collection or if you’re trying on a watch in a shop, the sales people usually notice and ask about it. The 50th watches are special because the boutiques allocated them to good clients although a few seem to have gone to people who didn’t value them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

No more 50th. This is what the new one looks like.
