The design is nice, but the color combinations kinda annoy me.

I really like the 39mm rhodium with blue hour markers; but, what annoys me (as with other models) is: ROLEXROLEXROLEX.....
I know it's a Rolex, I don't need telling an extra 12 times. Once on the dial will suffice, thanks.

I used to think that way, but it's far more noticeable in angled studio photos than it is in real life. It also gives the fakers a little more work and reduces the reflectivity of the rehaut. I've come to like it.

I agree, I hardly notice it on MrsO's datejust. I like hidden details no one else can see.

I don't even notice it on the DJII. Even a highly cropped photo shows how unobtrusive the rehaut engraving is.

Also, new calibre: the 3255 http://www.rolex.com/watches/baselwo...ibre-3255.html

"2x more precise than an official chronometer"

Do you think it is related to this? Similar power reserve and another new movement?

From Rolex....

Thanks to a new barrel architecture and the escapement’s superior efficiency, the power reserve of calibre 3255 extends to three days. This means the watch will easily continue to run from Friday evening into Monday afternoon even if not worn or wound.

From Tudor...

Tudor’s new in-house movement is the calibre MT5612 and packs 70 hours of power reserve.

I know bugger all about movement design but they look similar on the face of it. Devil will be in the detail
