|
|
The new Rolex Day Date is now a 41mm cased flagship for the Rolex Line..
With it's in-house Parachrome hairspring and an in-house shock system to replace the tried and true KIF system, this should make it a completely Rolex time-piece.
Perhaps we're seeing a glimpse of the future with this fine new offering.. _________________ - Larry

They seem to be updating a lot of their lines. Some I like and some I don't, although the quality is always there. Do you have any pictures Larry?  _________________ I'd feel lost without my GPS |

Those are great foto's! I like the first one the best if I could choose one for myself! I really like most of their "updating", I think it was "about time" they did!!!  _________________ Mireyna

I love the DD style, whether it's the 36mm or 41mm. As a personal preference, I prefer the 36mm due to having a small wrist.
I understand the need to update their line and being Rolex the quality is there. However, I question the 41mm in their "dress line" of watches. Is this because they see a need or are they just following the herd. I know I'm biased on this issue, but I just don't care for some of the watches today that rival the size of a hockey puck.  _________________ Regards,

Don't worry, it's not all that it's cracked up to be.  _________________ I'd feel lost without my GPS |

I think the movement updates and styling are awesome. I'm just not a fan of the larger 41mm size. _________________ Me? I'm still looking for Kokomo |
