I have seen only three such watch in the dealer groups and one in a Rolex boutique in 2021.
So I think this is a rare watch.
Due to the shortage of watches from Rolex, I think this particular Rolex will have a insane price over HK$150,000 in 2022.
Lets keep an eye on it.
When Patek’s CEO Thierry Stern had mentioned that even his son
cannot get the Patek Nautilus 5711/1A-014 Green …. Made me laugh out for ten
minutes!
Is that the right timing Rolex launching this super beauty to take over market
loophole of the Nautilus Green? Of course its is not justify to benchmark a Nautilus with a Date Just, that is not fair for them. Or this is a sensical year after many months of
stupid lockdown and our ugly two tone suntanned face when facial mask is
removed?
This is an awesome year for Rolex to launch an utterly non-traditional
dial on a tradition watch Date Just. I give Rolex a Thumb’s up!
For many years I wrote on my blog, Rolex is more than just bore
as there were little new gadget every year when new watches were launched…
Change the colour of the dial, change the material of the bezel,
enlarge the size by 1mm, not enough make it 2 mm? No, too big, let’s go back to
40mm...and made different combination on these things… What else?… May be Rolex
heard us and give this new look of a green leaves on the Date Just… Please don’t
put it on the Sport models and that hurts… this dial works on Date Just does
not imply it looks good on a Daytona …There is 30 over Daytona variety already and
so bore that is no one even knows how to use the chronograph… a boring time pieces
even no date but price is up and up like the Chinese DF41 reaching 15,000km.…shoot
to the tip of the atmosphere and Bloom!
I enjoy odd dial Rolex, Domino Pizza Air King, Omen Motif Date
Just … and this green palm leave motif,… I am more than happy to
pick up one from one ADs….Ref 126234, 36mm, 70 hours power reserve, the right size for me. A 18 KT white
gold Fluted bezel and Jubilee bracelet of what the “Rolex Steel King” is used
to equipped! – perfect combination.
It could be worn week day, at work, in bed, meeting with customers, watching Bikini at beaches,
go to meeting Taliban friends in Kabul would not be too high profile… Join
the meeting of Tsai Ing Wen in Taiwan may get a surprise kiss from her because
of “Green”.
And most of all, a reasonably friendly MSRP HK$64,600…. Of course,
that is what most of us could not get. Still not the insane price
of Nautilus 5711 Green of US$400,000!
