    And yet, with the exception of the Patek and the bracelet on the Vacheron, they all look better than the Land Dweller to me. There’s not a single one I’d take…actually, I can end the sentence right there. There’s not a single one I’d take. Maybe the Audemars, but probably in a different color.

They can't even deliver the releases from two years ago. Prerelease guesses have most of the time been near 100% wrong regardless how the so called experts spin it. Maybe the White explorer and the ceramic bezel Explorer II will come out this year, but I'm not holding my breath. These are the type of changes Rolex does, and not some shoot from the hip mix.

    From the Movie there is some form of yellow gold Daytona or 1908 possibly with a Jubilee bracelet. Thee 1908 may be some type of new gold. Unclear what the red disk with the gold outer band and holes is? Might be some new system for their movements possibly shock absorption? There is a green bezel either sub or GMTII. Maybe the Hulk will return. There is also something to do with a clasp on an Oyster bracelet they show

    Pretty sure it's real dude. Early April fools days aren't really a thing

    I have actually caught myself considering a pre-owned Laureato on more than one occasion.

    Not a fluted bezel fan, so the new Rolex does nothing for me.

    In the bunch, the GP is definitely towards the top, just to my eyes. I just don’t know enough about the brand for me to be moved beyond that “That’s nice” stage.

    These watches look like they came off the set of The Prisoner and I mean that as a compliment. Love that show and the aesthetic and the clockmaker’s daughter.
