Rolex Watches in 2023 - My Opinion On New Rolex Watches, Past, Present and Future

Rolex is a rare luxury watch brand that's a household name. While almost all other watchmakers are niche suppliers to an esoteric hobby, Rolex is a bluechip property with recognition rivaling Apple, Disney, and Ferrari. Tonight, Tim Mosso discusses the 2023 Rolex watches with historical context, fact files, and speculation about the future. Tonight's show is dedicated to Rolex, watchmaking's most famous brand name. Consider how much Rolex has changed just in the last year. A 60th anniversary Rolex Daytona collection brought both display casebacks and the spectacular 2023 Rolex Daytona Le Mans (126529) with its neo Paul Newman dial. The Rolex Oyster Perpetual and Day Date collections gained outrageously flamboyant "celebration dials" and controversial colorful "emoji dials." Rolex has announced a "Rolex Certified Preowned" program for used watches of three years or greater age. And not one but two new Rolex watches have been released in titanium: the Sea Dweller Deepsea Challenge (126067) and the Yacht Master 42 RLX titanium (226627) The 2023 Rolex Perpetual 1908 (52508 and 52509) marks a return to dress watches after the discontinuation of the former Rolex Cellini Line. Still 39mm and available only in gold, the new Rolex dress watches adopt a modified "Explorer" dial with tri-Arabic numerals and small seconds. The display caseback is new along with a Rolex caliber 7140 that includes a Siloxi silicon hairspring and special refinements suitable for a sapphire caseback. T
