Live from Basel: the beauty and the beast
Mixed feelings @ the rolex booth in Basel this year. I would summarise it as the "Beauty" and "the Beast" you might have guessed that the beauty is the new Rolex Yachtmaster in everose gold and oysterflex bracelet. This model however didn't get the new up...
I wil sum it in two words: Coolness for the new YM, exciting for the new movement.
Nothing else for me, this year... And not sure I wouldn't get rid of the Everose YM, after a while... Best, Nicolas
yes indeed the YM ...
is very interesting and cool - but could it be boring after a while ? Difficult to say. The new movement is truly exciting and I think that sets a great standard for the new DD. Pity that the YM doesn't include a new exciting movement too.
The rolex eve rose gold yacht-master looks great
I think this one will be very fashionable. Thanks for your thoughts Bill
Exactly. That is why i chose the word fashionable.
Most of the time i think of the word "timeless" to describe Rolex. Bill
The YM is like a Hublot:
fashionably and in this case girly. Will look great on a nice woman. The new day date with 'perforated' dial looks great and 40mm is a very good size. A 'sporty' DD if you will. I like it. Don't like the price tag tho.
