Its gone for me. Only options to choose are grey, green or blue in the steel variants. Probably just a glitch.

Apparently a glitch but it is still there. I have seen it just now. If you search you will find it. Alternatively, if you are on 'configure' there is a gap between Blue and Black and Grey and Black...if you click that gap it comes up !!!
Edit: highlighted dot is where you need to click. Weird!

Not daft Rolex are they.
Little website glitch followed by 100 influencers telling us its gone
Fear not those who are on Ze list
The site had an update.
Firstly the Pepsi disappeared
For it to return only for the Sprite to then go AWOL
All four variants are back on for those who cannot get either the watch or a physical catalogue lol

Tried on a lovely explorer in Preston today, still a bit rich for my tastes but thought it looked very understated in a good way

Just back from the gym so apologies.
I'm not the sort to go back counting posts but it just seems to me that you comment on values more than anyone else.
Used to be Boring- Sandwich and to give him his dues he was proven correct.
On your earlier comment about me owning Rolex watches then yes I do but it ain't gonna make or break me if values go up or down.
Of course it's nice if your watches end up worth more than you paid but it's swings and roundabouts .
Im discouraged from presenting the truth by naysayers. I have always said if a watch is hot or not regardless of agenda but we are where we are and theres a smidge more to go but not much.
Rising insurance costs, potential targets, and general confidence in the world / change of government will take another 10-15% off the gold and shiny stuff, maybe another 5% off steels by year end
That said if you look at a historic chart and disregard the period 2019-2023 then the trajection is the same as ever so buy with confidence and accept youll be a smidge under where you want to sell and you are right.
Brussels AD near Grand Place had both SS Daytonas, platinum Daytona, black/green GMT & the black/grey GMT in the window. All with exhibition signs
First time I seen both Daytonas together at an AD
There was a White Gold Yachtmaster available today at WoS Brent Cross.
Quite understated. If I didn't have the BLRO then I'd definitely purchase this
Very nice, but would prefer without the diamonds
Very surprised of how balanced it felt
Bonkers! And not in a good way

Perhaps the camera angles, but the Daytona appears larger than the GMT. Still both 40mm right?
And I am sure when you think you are hob-nobbing at the top of the list, there is a list above that.
But, the point still stands. What is the point if you cant buy anything. You now have to be on an exclusive list just to see and touch what you cant buy! As opposed to a lower tier list where you cant see or touch what you cant buy.
Which list do you have to be on to buy anything you have seen and touched?
No reflection on those who get invited, but the whole thing does feel a bit w@nky, and the main reason I have no interest in these mass produced machine made watches.

Its the first one of these weve been to and to be honest we were both unsure of whether to actually attend, but decided to give it a go.
We were pleasantly surprised and it wasnt a bit pretentious. Had a champagne reception followed by a lovely three course lunch, which included speech by the AD MD and also a member of Rolex senior management at our table. Very open to questions.
We then had an opportunity to see and try on what was on display.
A little disappointed not to be able to see the 42mm Ti Yachtmaster as they had only ever received one, and one of the 80 guests was wearing it.
An afternoon well spent, whichever ever way you want to look at it.
There is an element of Rolex knowing that any of the decent models (read steel sports) always have a healthy base looking to buy them so customers in abundance.
The meatier stuff (read any bi or precious or left of arc steels) has a far smaller demographic in terms of demand because of both aesthetic and cost so therefore a glitzy gathering maintains the flow where the water is sparser.
The mainstream professional models no doubt don't need any cultivation but Rolex has some very high-end expensive models in precious metals and I expect they need cultivate that high end of the market.
The mind boggles as to what your purchase history must be to get an invitation to such an event ...
Im not so sure Wiley. I was invited to an event last year, which I wasnt able to attend. I received an invite to this years event too which takes place in July. Currently undecided as to whether to attend or not.
Very modest spend history over the past six years. When I enquired about the Celebration Dial OP I got told they wouldnt sell me one even if it was available as I would put in my safe and never wear it. I also got told the list for a GMT was closed.

But lame to have to ask guests yes, but you would hope anyone invited would have the sense to wear a Tudor and if you dont have one they shouldnt be accepting it.
Saw and tried on all the new releases a few weeks ago at a lovely event at Rolex St. James’s Square. Highlight for me was the beautiful new 1908 Platinum so I’m definitely aiming to get one.
New GMT GRNR is lovely too, on Jubilee or Oyster. Was slightly disappointed with the new Day Date 40 Everose Ombr dial but keen to see the White Gold with Blue ombr dial.
