Baselworld 2015: ROLEX Live photos New Yachtmaster and Day Date Gamechangers
PuristS
Here are live pictures of the new ROLEX Yachmaster and DAY DATE watches with the new ROLEX automatic movement.
I am a cynical convert to Rolex at this Baselworld 2015 show. Yes...you read it here first.
I held them in my hands and cuddled them and kissed them....good materials, good design, good finishing and of course, I repeat, the gamechanging new movement. It is a pity that everyone is obsessed by the Apple and Google watches not to notice what just happened at Rolex......
When you are the market leader and innovate with a game-changer movement ref 3255 giving 70 Hours power reserve and precision rate of -0.2 s to +2.0 s /Day, YES read that again!.....you become even more dominating. Bravo!
From me...that is stunning accolade.
More later but for now, please admire the syntherubber strap with Ti alloy stiffeners and comfort ridges for 5-year strap life for the new Yachtmasters and bigger case for the Day Date. The ceramic inserts for the new Presidnt bracelet also will be discussed later.
Regards
MTF (Astonished of Basel)
Something NOT in the catalogue.....

RE: live pics from Rolex
Thanks MTF for the live pics of the YM and DD. Interesting about the movement, looking forward to hearing more about your impressions. Regards, ED-209
-0, 2 to 2 secs per day for the Cal 3255? Wow!
I agree with you on Rolex that year. Nothing spectacular on the visible side, but the invisible side is very important, and this new movement has to be mentionned. That is very Purist! ;) Best, Nicolas
Even the outside of new Rolex is good
...the feel of the new rubber strap is great. The bezels are nice to touch. The legibility is better. The deployant clasp does not hurt to wear.....at last! The watch case balance is the Rolls Royce iteration of the description: "adequate"... Regards, MTF...
One thing I want to see in the real is the feeling of the Cerachrom bezel on the YM.
Very intriguing. As well as the texture of the dial. Best, Nicolas.
I'll definitley go and have a look at the new YM
If the textures and colors are close enough to the pictures it would be great. Thanks for the pictures Melvyn. Cheers, Mark
I asked why the ladies' YM but NOT the gents' get 3255 movement
They said that they would get back to me for the reason. I have to contact the PR department after Baselworld show when they know. It was strange that a Professional series of watch reference woul omit the new movement from the better selling gents' model...
So much of what makes Rolex special.....
.....is under the hood. So many patents based upon issues that affect reliability and performance. Rolex DNA
stunning !!
The Yachtmaster is simply stunning -- a must have for every rolex fan ! Not entirely sure about the new dial in the platinum 40mm day date but they might add other dials in the future. Rolex is a clear winner in basel this year.
Hold your horses....not over yet
Rolex may be one of the "mechanical" watch brand winners at Baselworld 2015. There are a couple of other 'WOW' moments to report........"WATCH" this space. Regards, MTF
plat40 dial
seems like there are at least 2 dial varieties for the DD40P? This piece looks amazing. I have long been an admirer of the DD but found the 36 too small and DDII too large. Finally a solution in sight! In my perfect world I would one day have a DD40P wit...
I really think they nailed it
The Platinum and RG DD40's are just awesome. The movement is just amazing. I WANT one!!!
The new movement...
Is in my opinion the unique interesting new thing came out from Rolex this year in Basel, the others are merely annoying. It is a very interesting machine from different points of view, first of all because denotes a great research in optimizing the strai...
