Basel New Release: What Would You Pay For...

[AK797]

It really shouldn't be in WG this time, whether red or red and blue insert. They should just bake the r&d and breakage costs in and charge a £1-2K premium and the market will easily accept it, surely this lesson will be learnt this time.

I’m not a buyer for any PM pieces, just out of my range.

In SS I’d consider this at retail. I like this look, have always like the bicolor GMT but the BLNR just didn’t do it for me. Have seen a good number of pictures of vintage Cokes on the jubilee and something about it works for me.

its released.....and based off renderings on the website.....a lot more.... "it just doesn't do it for me"...."the colors don't work"......"it just doesn't look right on a jubilee bracelet"..."the designers at rolex don't know what they are doing"..."the proportions are way off"...."I'd never ever buy that"....only to turn into the "I just came back from basel and it really looks nice........here are some actual pictures of the watch"...and then the "oh. that actually looks really nice....I'd have to think about it but it still may not be for me....the older version was so much nicer".....to the first time someone buys it and we get the..."wow....that is beautiful......I could definitely see myself wearing that".....to the ....." I cant find this in the ADs anymore and now the TS want to charge me a premium"........and so it goes....every year.....the same process of negative opinions changing to neutral changing to positive changing to compulsive.....I admit it....I am one of the above!

hideous bracelet

Not really interested in either WG or SS, mainly because it’s a GMT on a jubilee.

[BobDyl]

If an Oyster bracelet is offered, I would probably be in at MSRP. No rush, my LN is perfectly fine. If this is only offered in PM, I'm likely to get irrationally and uncontrollably angry. ;-)

Not interested in the jubilee at all and only 5 digit fan personally.
I am curious to see how it looks though.

[brucethemanlee]

whatever it is i will but only at retail MSRP. I have never paid more (less perhaps but never more)

[mobster600]

red and black....meh.....never would own one in either SS or WG

MSRP for SS coke not interested in PM jubilee.

[CRM114]

Coke is my 3rd-favorite GMT rendering (falling behind BLRO and BLNR), and since I have a BLNR and a bunch of BLROs I'd certainly consider paying MSRP for a new version even though I've acquired (and sold) a couple Coke 16710s in the past.

On a Jubilee bracelet?....Of course! They look great on GMTs, always have, every bit as much as an Oyster. It's a pilot's watch, not some James Bond wannabe diver or race car jewelry fashion statement. The GMT Master was derived from the Datejust, so a Jubilee on it is a lot more fitting than a date/cyclops on a Sub.

Guess I’m the odd man out, not interested in the watch, but dig the new jubilee bracelet. Only part I’m interested in...

[avega357]

Have BLNR and LN, would not get Coke......in SS or WG.

But if you do not have a ceramic GMT I would recommend it at retail for SS.

[Spartan1]

Not a fan of the jubilee...thus, I would buy neither.

Ugliest rolex. This massive deepsea style case can not be combined with an elegant jubilee bracelet. another failure
