Hey Guys,
I read your comments with great pleasure. Personally, I do not like the bling factor much either. But I believe Rolex is reacting to the market as more and more extremely wealthy Russian and probably middle Eastern buyers detect the value of a Bling Bling Crown. And I agree that they seem to cater to the younger crowd that is getting increasingly wealthy and educated. The success of Rolex is garanteed, while it may not be my personal taste. Yet, I have to admit, it is difficult to judge not holding the new Deepsea in my hand, or the new Submariner. I think oftentimes when you hold the watch in your hand, it may start smiling at you while the pictures did not. So I am waiting to see the first Deepsea in real life. Do we know what the MSRP on the Deepsea is going to be? Are we talking a watch for 10K? Will it only come in steel, or in Gold and Platinum as well?
