Watches - another OCD problem
-
I don't like how here and with their ceramic they feel the need to call the materials out on the dials of the watches. Otherwise, aside from not using the new 321, if you're gonna do a yellow gold Speedy (and gold is appropriate for a 50th anniversary) I think they did a fairly good job. Even though the black markers set them up for a black bezel, I think the burgundy was an inspired choice. If the dial could somehow have more contrast that would be an improvement.
The hour and minute hands in your image look different. I have seen them gold with black inlay elsewhere.
Speaking of black inlay, I'm assuming the onyx markers leave no room for lume.

I love Speedies and although the applied 60’s logo is cool, the watch is overall very meh.
As for the plastic crystal, I had really good luck with my Speedy and terrible luck with an Ennebi Fondale. I guess it all depends on the composition because the Speedy crystal is def more exposed than that of the Fondale. As for the Max Bill, it’s yet to be seen.

Fret not over plexiglass crystals. Polywatch cleans any scratches in a breeze.
That's a good looking watch, @Anesthetist. The plexiglass crystal would concern me, though. But I'm uncoordinated and probably bang into things more than you do.

Fitting…

Put one of these on the crystal and you'll truly never have to worry about anything about that watch

Gotta be offering the modern movements in the line, one would have to assume.

No leaking from Rolex, but my speculation is in no particular order: new movements for the subs, maybe a new Milgauss, but the Rolex Explorer II is in need of a ceramic bezel and the Air King is in no-mans land.
Is anyone familiar with Seoul and watch shopping there? In particular: Shilla Dutyfree Main Store or Shinsegae Department Store.
Her's and his from the other day:

I wonder about that; the lack of a ceramic bezel helps segment the Explorer II from the GMT Master II, and the brushed inlaid metal bezel has always been a part of each reference (though the Daytona did go from finished steel to ceramic I suppose). I'm unsure if fixed versus rotating is enough of a product line differentiator for Rolex. If they add ceramic, I think they'll have to stay with the current movement instead of upgrading that to the new, 70 hour PR movement, perhaps with paraflex added (which is my very uneducated prediction). The way the newer movements have been propagated, perhaps that's the plan–they're so smart in how they maintain scarcity and desirability, rolling out features very slowly to market so that they can maintain constant buzz.
