Hi All;
The new Submariner should do pretty well for Rolex, the new Explorer, not so well; but what we as watchnuts probably don't realise is that both of these watch, although iconic Rolex models, are pretty much niche models for Rolex.
The volume models are the Datejusts for men and, especially, for women; and the new 31mm version will without doubt become the major seller, leaving the current 26mm in its wake.
For the second year Rolex are featuring the floral dials on the lady's watches, which have proved to be very popular with women, softening the masculine look of the basic watch. The flowers are not applied to the dial, rather they are 'grown' on the dial itself by a process of electro deposition. A polymer mask is applied to the blank dial & the required image is cut from the mask exposing the dial su**ce. The dial is then placed in a bath of electrically charged copper solution & a reverse charge is applied to the dial and thus the copper is drawn from the solution molecule by molecule to deposit itself upon the dial. When the required thickness is achieved, the dial is removed from the bath & printed and finished in the normal manner.
Obviously I am never going to buy one of these (my wife doesn't like Rolex watches) but actually wanting to buy a watch has never prevented me from liking one, so I can tell you that my favourite version is the Everose one with the brown dial shown in the first image. I particularly love the Roman 6 with diamonds, it is a quite subtle touch.
Here is their press release & technical specification.
ETERNAL LIGHTNESS OF THE PRESENT
Fresh, refined and elegant. Fitting descriptions of the gracefully feminine new Rolesor models in the Oyster Perpetual Datejust Lady 31 mm collection.
An ode to passion and sensuality, these delicate gems for daily wear are an invitation to share in their carefree youthfulness. They celebrate with brio the marriage of their materials — precious stones, 18 ct gold and 904L steel — and colours.
Wide range of dials
These new Lady 31 mm models in yellow, white and Everose Rolesor are available with a wide range of dials and decors. The floral motifs on the dark rhodium, and champagne and pink dials are produced using an electroforming technique, a very subtle deposition of material that reproduces the design with extreme precision. These visually attractive motifs give pleasing volume to the dial.
Fluted and gem-set bezels
The Oyster Perpetual Datejust Lady 31mmis available with either a fluted bezel or domed bezel set with 24 or 46 brilliants, reflecting the slightly rebellious and mischievous side of the pieces with a hint of intrigue.
Gem-set 6 o’clock hour marker
The gem-set Roman numeral hour marker at 6 o’clock adds a fascinating, singular touch to a watch that makes every minute an escape from time.
The timeless lightness of this Lady 31 mm should not obscure the extreme precision of its mechanical self-winding movement with a Perpetual rotor.
The lady can thus return at any time to the world of the present and live the moment to the fullest.
