Timex has never been shy about borrowing a little inspiration from luxury watch design. Its latest Legacy Day and Date is another nod to the Rolex Day-Date, but this time, the brand has made a small change that gives the watch a noticeably different personality. Instead of pairing the familiar day-and-date dial with a metal […]
The Rolex Explorer ref. 1016 presents an unusual problem for anyone trying to explain why vintage watches become important. There is not much to point to. It is a 36mm steel watch with three hands, a black dial, no date and no complication beyond displaying the time. Its smooth bezel does nothing. Its 3-6-9 dial […]
Before approving a Rolex service, distinguish mechanical repairs, cosmetic refinishing, and the components you want to preserve.
A counterfeit Rolex costing about $500 recently survived a situation that would have sounded improbable not long ago: it was taken into a Rolex store in London, handed to staff for a bracelet adjustment, and returned without anyone identifying it as fake. That incident has since produced an irresistible headline. The superclone was so convincing […]
Rolex released enough unusual watches in 2026 to make the year look like an exercise in variety. There was a multicolored Jubilee-pattern Oyster Perpetual, a commemorative two-tone model for the Oyster’s 100th anniversary, a redesigned Yacht-Master II, a Daytona combining steel, platinum, grand feu enamel and a newly formulated ceramic, a Day-Date made from an […]
Rolex does not need much help making a Daytona difficult to buy. Four one-of-one Daytonas, however, create a different problem entirely: how do you value a Rolex when there is no second example to compare it with? That question will become real on September 28, 2026, when Phillips auctions four unique Cosmograph Daytonas in London. […]
For much of the modern Rolex boom, the market rewarded watches that were easy to recognize from across a room. Steel Daytonas, GMT-Master IIs and Submariners became the obvious targets, while smaller Datejust and Lady-Datejust references often occupied a quieter corner of the secondary market. That hierarchy is beginning to look less stable. Recent transaction […]
There isn’t much on a Rolex Submariner 14060 competing for your attention. No date. No Cyclops. No polished center links. No ceramic bezel. No oversized luminous plots. On the earlier examples, even the dial text is reduced to two short lines above six o’clock. Put one next to a modern Submariner and the difference is […]
Rolex dominated the stands, but the most interesting watches in New York weren’t necessarily the rarest—or the most expensive. Tennis has become one of the best places to watch watches. That sounds slightly ridiculous until you spend an afternoon looking around Arthur Ashe Stadium. Unlike a movie premiere, where a watch often disappears beneath a […]
