    The apparent new Rolex releases. Everyone can relax, the BLNR hasn't been discontinued, it's been ruined by a jubilee bracelet. The Yachtmaster 42mm on rubber seems to be happening, which makes me yawn. A new 36mm DJ and DD, a two tone Seadweller 43 (introduced, no doubt, as a new precursor purchase to getting a steel Rolex that people actually want), all yawn worthy.

    As I suspected the Yachtmaster 42 is White Gold. I'm waiting on the price. I placed my order with my AD or the BLNR. having the Pepsi I prefer the Jubilee's comfort over the oyster and I've come to find it better looking on the GMT II than the oyster.

    I've been looking for something different so I've asked to be called also when the BlackBay PO1 comes in. From the Instagram video it kind of looks cool (side views) and I've always kind of liked the GP SeaHawk it looks like. Note I'm not saying it is a beauty which it is not. More kind of like a French Bulldog... so ugly it's cute. More worried about the lug-to-lug on it. Remeber I've had/have two Ploprofs so I kind of dig strange ugly watches that are function over form.

    Found it in the configurator on the Rolex Site $27,800. The Rose gold one went up $1,800. looks like others remain at the same price although I thought the Hulk was $9250, not $9050?

    Yawn exactly. Rolex designers took a leap year, and Tudor has an interim on speed.

    I wouldn't have guessed that Citizen brings the most interesting news on day one.

    My wife really loves all the Rolex and Tudor releases as she knows I won't be tempted to buy any of them

    I heard the lug to lug on the Tudor is 60mm but I'm not 100% sure to confirm.

    All this two tone reminds me of when the fashionistas decide on the new "must have" fashion item, which is totally different than anything recent, thereby (in their minds) requiring people to buy new stuff to replace their unfashionable old stuff. Bell bottoms come to mind--they're trying to bring those back, too.
