So, here's a few of the new 2013 Rolex releases.

New "Ice Blue" dialed Daytona in platinum.








New GMT II with bi-color ceramic bezel.






New Day-Date on straps.















Other new models include more Day-Dates, a stainless steel YachtMaster II, and ladies DateJust Pearlmasters.



For me the new Daytona is just stunning. That ice blue dial is one of my favorite dials. Although MSRP will undoubtedly be at least $65K.

My second favorite is the blue Date-Just. That's just WOW!!!!! :001_tt1: But since it's a 36mm, it's not an option for me (probably a good thing!).

So, how about you, what's your thoughts?

I like the two-tone GMT, but I'd like to see a "pepsi" version rather than black & blue...

I also give a "WOW!" for the blue Day-Date and 36mm is perfect for me but maybe the price is not perfect.
However, a non SS bracelet should keep the price down some?

 

[chunglee]

the daytona is platinum not stainless.

 

[Scott D]

the daytona is platinum not stainless.

Damn, you're right. Completely missed that.. Oh well - guess I can cross it off my list then... it'll be $65-70K+ for sure... :sneaky2:

I also edited my original post to reflect platinum. Thanks for the catch CL!

Here is the 2013 new release catalogue:

Glad to see they finally figured out the bi-color ceramic bezel. However, black and blue is not doing it for me and being
a traditionalist 'original GMT" fan - I would LOVE to see RED/BLUE ceramic insert......(Hopefully in the future, but knowing
how Rolex operates recently - they may introduce Pepsi ceramic bezel next year but only on a white gold watch
and it will be $30,000" ;-) )

Any word on what the stainless steel Yacht-Master II will sell for?

 

[Scott D]

No, prices usually don't get announced until summer. But, considering the price differences between the Sub, GMT and Daytona stainless steel models vs. their 18k on bracelet counterparts is about $26,000, I'm going to estimate the steel YachtMaster II will be going for about $15-17,000.

Some nice additions, but none of them are really pulling me in. If I were to choose one I think it would be the chocolate Day-Date.

Based on just the pictures, the GMT blue/black combo isn't doing much for me, but I could see it being one of those cases where I might totally change my mind after seeing it in person.

 

[Presa canary]

That choc day date is really nice.

 

[RedwinGV]

I guess I'm a bit more new school. That GMT blue combo strikes me right. I understand the pepsi devotees, but this blue is so subtle and brings the watch up a notch. But yeah, I'll still be stickin' with my SS GMTII.

 

[Scott D]

I agree redwing. I think it's a nice look and can't wait to see the bi-color ceramic in person.

But I'd never wear it, too Carolina Panthers for me... :001_tongue:

 

[incontrol]

I think I could go for the Black and Blue GMT II but I would love to see it in the metal first. I would prefer a Coke version myself.
