>> ERIC: This is Watch Your Style.
My name is Eric.
For our third and final episode of our series here with the Rolex Enforcer Live in Miami,
we're going to talk a little bit about the new watches that got released in the past
year and also this past week or two with Baselworld 2016 and so on and so forth.
So there's a couple new models that have come out and one of the first ones that I want
to go over with you is that new Air King that came out.
What is your view on that new Air King?
>> ROLEX ENFORCER: I don't like it.
I think it's ugly.
I like the size.
I like that they've upgraded the size, but the whole green and yellow with the green
hands...I don't like it very much.
I don't think they contrast well off each other.
>> ERIC: Yeah, I mean, I honestly don't think it's the ugliest watch I've ever seen in my
life.
You know?
I don't think it's bad.
Somebody wants to buy a little watch and it's going to be in an economic bracket there from
Rolex brand new.
>> ROLEX ENFORCER: Probably like $6K.
>> ERIC: I don't like the dial so busy with the combination of minutes and hour markets
and the two colors.
I don't know.
I don't know what they're thinking up there.
I guess this is Rolex's way of trying to combat the 263 models that Hublot that Hublot came
out with at the last show last month.
Which, by the way, being that they came out with 263 different versions at the last show...listen,
that's a bad thing, but I gotta hang it to them...the guys up there and Hublot have to
be some of the hardest working guys in the industry right now, because to come up with
that many models as quick as you want to just wipe them out there.
I mean, it can't be that easy to cook them up.
>> ROLEX ENFORCER: I think that only Jordan makes more color schemes faster than Hublot.
[laughter]
>> ERIC: I feel like with that Air King its' like...maybe Rolex's way of kind of trying
to...I'm just guessing, by the way.
It's my opinion...that maybe they're just trying to cook up something different for
the masses.
>> ROLEX ENFORCER: That's part of the reason why Rolex takes a lot of heat for sticking
to a path and being very contemporary.
I think they're trying to be conservative, but just like throw like a little flare out
there and see if people react to it.
>> ERIC: So, hit or miss?
>> ROLEX ENFORCER: Miss.
>> ERIC: Yeah, I think it's a miss too.
That's my opinion.
Next I want to go over the Daytona.
They finally came out...it's been needing this for a while.
The Daytona is one of those watches that it has a conservative size.
Why would you change the case and make it bigger when you have almost every single one
sold before it even leaves the production line.
It's a very iconic model and I think they would almost kind of ruin it.
As much as I would like to see a bigger Daytona, but if they made it like steroided up, it
would kind of be ruined.
But they finally put a ceramic bezel on the steel one and I must say right off the back,
that's a hit!
>> ROLEX ENFORCER: Hit!
>> ERIC: You know, that's a hit right there.
I feel like whether it's the white or the black dial, especially the black dial how
it kind of like expands the whole look of the watch out.
Almost makes it look a little bit bigger.
It ties in the bezel with the dial.
It makes it look bigger.
With the white it's my favorite one.
It kind of gives it that Old School fee of the Old School one, right?
>> ROLEX ENFORCER: I think the ceramic bezel was the smart choice.
I actually predicted it about three or four months ago on my Rolex Enforcer page, because
it's the evolution...the Daytona is honestly, if the Daytona were 42mm, I think it'd be
the best looking watch on the planet, but it's become a little bit smaller.
That's why a lot of people give...they give a lot of crap to the Royal Oak Offshore, but
thee Royal Oak Offshore actually took that spot away from the Daytona.
Us Americans we're fatter...We're getting fatter and we need something bigger on our
wrists.
>> ERIC: We're taller too, you know?
>> ROLEX ENFORCER: Yeah, but the Daytona, with the ceramic, it was the evolution.
It had to happen.
I think it was a great idea, and the bezel is a beautiful timeless design, but the bezel
is a scratch magnet.
>> ERIC: Yeah, it is man, it is.
>> ROLEX ENFORCER: But it's very hard to polish correctly.
You take it in for service and the first thing they're going to bang you for is the new bezel.
>> ERIC: Yeah!
>> ROLEX ENFORCER: They're going to tell you, �OK, we're going to keep this bezel.
We're going to...1,000 bucks, we keep your bezel.� And it hurts.
It hurts!
>> ERIC: I actually once it came out and immediately when I saw it, I got so impatient that, honestly,
I had to put an aftermarket ceramic bezel on a stainless steel one just because I just
couldn't wait.
I had to see exactly what it looked like, so I have an example here of what one looks
like.
And let me tell you, the second I literally walked the whole way from the watchmaker back
over here.
I just couldn't stop staring at it.
It just looked totally different.
I feel like it gave new life to the Daytona.
>> ROLEX ENFORCER: It looks good!
>> ERIC: Halleluiah!
That was definitely a hit.
>> ROLEX ENFORCER: Definitely a hit, 100%.
>> ERIC: Also, I have one of the ones that they...I knew it was coming.
It was only a matter of time.
They put a jubilee band on the 41mm Datejust II.
How do you feel about that?
>> ROLEX ENFORCER: That thing is like sex on your wrist, bro.
It looks amazing, you know?
I have to admit, I just sold my 116233, which is the 36mm two-tone or Rolesor Datejust and
the super jubilee was a complete improvement over the old hollow links, but the problem
was that the super jubilee didn't have any micro adjustments.
>> ERIC: Yeah.
>> ROLEX ENFORCER: So it either fit you too tight or it fit you too big and they solved
that on the 41mm because they put like a...it' still like an...
>> ERIC: Like an Oyster clasp.
>> ROLEX ENFORCER: They put like an Oyster clasp and it has micro adjustments and it's
perfect.
The jubilee bracelet, there's nothing more elegant than the jubilee bracelet.
>> ERIC: Yeah, that's definitely a hit.
They obviously added some other variations with like a smooth, gold bezel.
They also added rose gold, which that needed to come out any minute now.
Rolex does it on purpose.
They release it little bit little.
That was bound to happen, so that's definitely a hit.
>> ROLEX ENFORCER: On my Instagram, I said I was gonna actually trade all my Rolex for
APs, but I think that may be my next pick-up, a 41mm Jubilee Datejust.
Sweet man!
Beautiful!
>> ERIC: Alright, and last for Rolex, I want to go over the...because they came over with
a bunch of different releases.
It's just I kinda wanna focus on other brands a bit, but the 40 millimeter the Yacht-Master,
they came out with a two-tone, rose gold and steel, with a nice chocolate face.
I mean, I personally think that's a hit.
That lineup of the two-tone, Yacht-Master was getting already kind of boring with the
yellow and the regular dials that they had.
I mean, what do you think?
>> ROLEX ENFORCER: I think the chocolate bezel and the rose gold, they play well off of each
other.
As you've seen, last year they breathed in some new life into the Yacht-Master II when
they released the rose gold on the rubber bracelet.
And I feel like the Yacht-Master doesn't get enough love as it should.
A lot of people, they usually go the GMT route or the Submariner router and Yacht-Master
is a beautiful watch.
It's very timeless.
It has the...the bezel is very strong, the platinum bezel, it's a good buy overall.
>> ERIC: Yeah, I mean, so for me overall I think the Rolexes all through the board were
pretty nice.
Obviously, they make a bunch of different models for everybody, so that that way, it's
almost like more baits in the water.
There's gotta be one you're gonna wanna bite on.
But, that being said, I want to move on to one of my personal favorite brands, but that
I'm not really sure what was going on when they came up with the idea.
Does it mean I won't own one if I can get one cheap enough...It had to be really cheap,
because I'm not thrilled about it...but the Diver in Chrono.
And there's something about the word �Diver� and �Chrono� that I just don't seem like
they go well.
The blue one, that navy blue with the yellow accents, doesn't look bad, but I'm not really
that into that yellow and that orange.
How do you feel about the new AP Diver Chrono.
>> ROLEX ENFORCER: I mean, I think basically what AP is trying to do they're trying to
spice up the line a little bit.
They realized that most people will never go diving anyway, but as for practicalness
as a diver, it makes no sense to have a chrono.
You can't even use it underwater.
It doesn't make any sense.
It's a little something different.
I think mainly they felt like the Offshore line was getting a little bit tired, so they
threw that out there.
Me personally, I don't like it, but I think it's going to do well on the market.
It's gonna be, you know, people might like it.
>> ERIC: My opinion is that I feel that for that they would have just left the Diver as
a diver, and maybe come out with another option and leave the Offshore Chronos the Offshore
Chronos.
I don't know why they had to try to interbreed...I don't know what the heck's going on there.
But, I'm gonna go ahead and say it's a miss � but that being said, they also released
on the same show, the AP 41mm Royal Oak Chrono, which is one of my favorite watches of all
time, in any finish or metal or dial or anything.
>> ROLEX ENFORCER: Yeah.
>> ERIC: The yellow gold with the blue dial and that is a hit, hit.
I mean, how do you feel?
>> ROLEX ENFORCER: I mean, it goes without saying...any Royal Oak Chronograph, the purist
will always choose that over the Royal Oak Offshore because it's not a modular movement.
It's integrated.
It's not piggybacked off anything.
That's a boss watch, man.
Anybody that's wearing one has made it in life.
Stainless, gold, it doesn't matter.
>> ERIC: Yeah.
The yellow one and blue is like, we were almost waiting for that.
Let me tell you, some of the older Offshores that came out in yellow gold and some of the
older Royal Oaks, I feel like that alloy mix that they had for the yellow gold, I never
really liked it.
I felt like it was kind of pale looking, but this new one that came out, is like �BANG!�
The second I saw it, I was like, �Oh, yeah!� They definitely tweaked the 18k yellow gold
mixture there, it's got that perfect yellow look.
>> ROLEX ENFORCER: Yeah, it looks good.
It pops now.
Before it was very dull.
>> ERIC: I can't wait to get one.
I'm gonna do a video on it.
I just want to try it on my wrist, you know?
>> ROLEX ENFORCER: Yeah.
>> ERIC: And then last...the last watch that I want to go over because it's probably the
least expensive one of all, probably I think so, because I don't even do my homework on
the retails � but, it's the Tudor, that bronze Tudor that came out.
The Black Bay, right?
Black Bay in bronze.
That for me is a hit.
I think I like it.
I like it a lot.
>> ROLEX ENFORCER: Yeah, it's definitely gonna be a hit.
It's going to have a massive, cult following like the Bronzo Panerai.
The thing used to go for $13k, $14k.
Now if you pick one up for $26k, $27k, you're lucky.
And t his is gonna be a monster.
If you can, pick one up.
>> ERIC: Yeah.
I think overall, they came out with a bunch of good, exciting watches and the ones that
highlight to me the best are the 41mm yellow from AP, the ceramic bezel Daytona, and that
Tudor.
That's going to be nice and let's see what happens, you know?
What's gonna be coming out good and see how theses play out and all the prices and stuff
like that.
>> ROLEX ENFORCER: Yeah.
But Baselworld was pretty good this year.
Last year, I was a little bit disappointed, but this year they had some nice editions,
you know?
>> ERIC: I mean, I don't know.
I felt like at the show that was a couple of months ago was almost like an episode of
Oprah Winfrey when they're giving away free cars.
�You get a car!
You get a car!� It was like, �You get sapphire!
You get sapphire!
Everybody gets sapphire!� Everybody came out with a sapphire watch.
That's a problem for me, but whatever.
You gotta let these guys do whatever they want to do, you know?
>> ROLEX ENFORCER: Yeah, like it's really a problem for somebody who spent a million
and a half on that RM and now you got all these...who was it, I think...was it Bell
& Ross that came out with a sapphire?
>> ERIC: Yeah, Bell & Ross came out with the sapphire tourbillon and I'm not even going
to comment on that, you know?
>> ROLEX ENFORCER: Yeah.
>> ERIC: Apparently, that's what it is, you know?
We're gonna have replica Chinese sapphire watches the day after tomorrow, any day soon
now.
But anyways, that's enough for now.
