Terrific in Titanium: The Rolex Yacht-Master 42 Ref. 226627 
European Watch » Rolex
by Samuel Colchamiro

Rolex doesn’t have much of a reputation for innovation. While many brands push modern designs and flashy novelties, the crown is the master of incremental changes, tweaking its designs every few years in a slow, continuous act of refinement. That said, when Rolex does do something out of the ordinary, as was the case with the new Yacht-Master 42 reference 226627, it really makes a splash. At first glance just another run of the mill Rolex sport watch, this 42mm 2023 release added the second all-titanium model to the Rolex collection. Let’s take a closer look! Rolex Yacht Master Titanium 22662 ..read more

As years-long waitlists and sky-high hype crash into a changing market filled with alternatives, it really begs the question: is the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona still worth chasing? While Rolex accessibility fatigue has worn some enthusiasts out, others remain as devout and committed as ever, always eager to bend the knee to the crown. But why is that exactly? What is it about such a simple watch that keeps hooking far more buyers than there are available watches? Let’s dig into it. History It would be foolish of me to run in circles, recounting the same story we’ve told a number of times before ..read more

The Rolex “Big Red” Daytona is a legend—plain and simple—and the Rolex 6265 “Big Red” Daytona is an especially sought-after reference in this highly collectible category. Today, we’re going to explore the history, the mechanical ins and outs, and other key details of this coveted Daytona variant.  The ref. 6265 Daytona is a hand-wound chronograph with metal bezel, coming in at just under 38 mm in diameter. In keeping with the “Oyster” insignia on the dial, it features screw-down pushers for water resistance, and a large screw-down crown. The nickname “Big Red,” as you might have guessed ..read more

Going Green: History Of The Green Rolex Submariner references, 16610LV, 116610LV, and 126610LV
European Watch » Rolex
by Brendan M. Cunningham
6M ago
In 2020 we’ve witnessed a flourishing of colors across the Rolex line of watch references.  Most notably this year, the Oyster Perpetual line was unveiled with a bright spectrum of dials.  Off on the sidelines while the colorful OPs were stealing the show, the green Submariner was busy making its comeback as the reference 126610LV. At this point, the watch buying community is fairly comfortable with the diverse color palette Rolex employs, even among staid and otherwise utilitarian “sports” references, but many collectors rightfully have a soft spot for the variants of green Sub tha ..read more

Outstanding Outliers: The Rolex Milgauss 116400 and 116400GV
European Watch » Rolex
by Bruce Duguay
6M ago
The Rolex Milgauss arguably has a more interesting heritage than its famous cousins, the Submariner and GMT Master. Also dating back to the mid-1950s, the Milgauss could be found strapped to the wrists of the world’s brightest minds, helping them keep track of time while practicing their craft amongst strong magnetic fields. To recap the Milgauss raison d’etre, Rolex created the watch with shielding strong enough to withstand 1,000 gauss (hence the name “Mille-gauss”) for scientists like the ones working at CERN in Geneva. Magnetic fields can wreak havoc upon the accuracy of movement componen ..read more

Modern Yet Classic: The Rolex Day-Date in Everose Gold Ref. 228235-0025
European Watch » Rolex
by Andrew O'Connor
8M ago
The first thing that comes to mind when many think of the Rolex Day-Date, is the many U.S. Presidents who have worn the watch. I mean, the model’s bracelet is commonly known as the “President”! Many other notable people including Warren Buffett, the Dalai Lama, and even Tony Soprano have been known to wear the model as well so it’s pretty clear why having one on your wrist is modern shorthand for “I made it”. It is one of the only Rolex models that is offered solely in precious metals and while most have traditionally colored dials such as champagne, silver, white, and black, Rolex has occasi ..read more

A Daytona Named Le Mans: The Rolex Daytona Le Mans Ref. 126529LN

by Andrew O'Connor

Limited and commemorative edition watches are so common these days that it’s hard to keep track of them all. Sure, they work well to attract attention and drive collectability (at least at first), but the market has quickly become oversaturated with them. Rolex is one of the few brands that rarely (if ever) produces a limited or commemorative edition watch. Some models are produced in small undisclosed quantities, and the crown has been known to release a new model for a specific anniversary here and there, but not to the same extent as many other brands. This year, seemingly out of left fiel ..read more

Vintage in a Modern Package: Rolex GMT Master II 126718GRNR
European Watch » Rolex
by Samuel Colchamiro
10M ago
Rolex brought more than its fair share of interesting new releases to Watches & Wonders 2023, including the brand new Perpetual 1908 collection and an updated Daytona with a platinum model now featuring a display caseback. It was a more under the radar release from the Crown that really piqued my interest though. For the first time since 2018, Rolex brought yellow gold back to the GMT-Master II, and I have to say, they hit it out of the park. While the new Ref. 126718GRNR is clearly a modern watch, there are some intriguing vintage callbacks in this release that are worth discussing. Like ..read more
