It's out ! Pics leaked of the new Rolex models !
« on: March 17, 2010, 08:55:47 PM »
The one we have all been waiting for.
New sub with ceramic bezel.
Not much excitement going on there from the initial pics.

Then there is the new green bezel and green dial! Oh how i wanna get my hands on that.
Green ceramic bezel looks quite nice, a sorta creamy look the pic.

New Explorer-1 seems to be still less than 40mm?
The "Explorer" wording had been placed at the bottom of the dial.

No official spec yet, wait til tomorrow.
Got this pics off the net.

Love the new Sub-Date but not the green one :p it takes me a while to love the 16610LV but this one i think is too much (too much green)....

the new exp1 one interesting, 39mm kekekeke... i think i can start saving for one now  :Cheers:

notice that the bracelet is not center polish, that's good news in my opinion ;)

So, i guess the 16610, 16610LV and Exp1 will be discon?

Do you all think that by changing the Sub to ceramic bezel it takes out the "tool watch" element it always had?

People have just realized that the new Exp1 has the old Exp-1 min hands.
Seems too short.

I like the new Explorer 1. Rolex finally upgraded this classic to a respectable case size.
Scott, this is the one that you should be buying, not the puny 36mm version.

Wow, both the exp1 and tudor heritage looks stunning. now torn between both...how??

but then the exp 1 hands look tad short, its using the 36mm hands??

Wonder what its RRP?

The new green sub dial has the same color scheme as the WG blue sub. Kinda like those pastel color tone. need to see it in real as to love it or hate it. for now, it looks good to me. :)
