This isn’t bad, but at $50,000, they can **** right off.

Striking or a bit too much? I really don’t know, which probably makes it a matter of taste. I can imagine it grabbing your attention in a showroom - all the way to the card payment machine.

Is that in the 39mm case @tribe125?

Watched Jenni Elle’s video on all the new Rolex reveals.

Happy to say I remain undeterred from my quest for a 1908. The only thing that appealed to me in the slightest is that blue dial Daytona and even at half the price I wouldn’t actually buy it. The Land-Dweller from concept to name to execution is just awful. There’s already a 6 year waitlist, I’m sure, but that’s more a Rolex buyer problem than anything else.

I think it looks great, but I would never wear it because the color is way too bold for me and it clashes with my wardrobe’s color palette. I assume it also will be available with the non-ugly bracelet as well.

It is.

Also, 5-link bracelet costs $4,600, the 3-link bracelet $4,500, and the rubber strap $4,275.

Laughable, obviously.

But thanks for posting!

Speaking of goofy. The Regulators seem to be done to death at this point.

Seems more like a test sample to show the various colors and finishes that can be done. Kind of the California Dial of skeleton watches if you believe the Panerai/Rolex story behind that.
