New rolexes are out
I think we all have been using the wrong strategy to engage Rolex. Should not guai guai place name with AD and wait.

The correct strategy is what the Omega MoonSwatch people have been doing. Just sit there and bang table with the AD, boutique manager and demand that they feed you breakfast, lunch, dinner and pay for all your parking between now and the time you get allocation for your Rolex. If they say it has not arrived, clap loudly and sarcastically, and convey that you are so hungry that you are going to faint.






P.S. This is satire and I have no interest in any new Rolex in the market today.

no money left to buy anything from Watches & Wonders, but happy as a duck regardless. Think it's my watch collecting style to pick things up late, and preferably where the piece hasn't been hyped.

I have been eyeing these Alain Silberstein and Louis Erard collabs for a while - missed the boat on both releases because I was hesitating, decided that life was too short 2 days ago and picked up a new copy second-hand last night. :) No regrets whatsoever - I think the THG/WOG release has a color palette that suits the mood that the watch is seeking to evoke best.

I think if it's non limited, it wouldn't sell as well. Look at the mother of pearl dial, dun really see ppl talking about it

Nothing very interesting from Watches & Wonders for me. The nice pieces are way out of reach or just not something I would wear, e.g. Moser's, or Tank Chinoise.
