#freshdrops this week is all about the the big R.
You know the one with the five-pointed crown.
It is Switzerland’s best-selling brand by revenue, but because they are a private company they don't release sales data. So the best guess is around $4.5 billion annually.
Not bad for a company that only sells watches.
But enough facts, this week it's raining Rolex, because we are spoilt for choice and have a ton of stock.
How about the Yacht-Master II, a watch Hodinkee found, '...colossally fun to wear'. On the wrist you can expect the bright blue bezel, contrasting blue/red hands and white dial to bring a smile to your face.
Or how would a Sea-Dweller sit on your wrist? Fashioned from a solid block of 904L stainless steel and water resistant to 1,220 meters, this watch can take it all and then some - even if you have no intention of actually getting it wet.
After a Sub? Then there is a 'Ceramic Kermit' lurking, the 2020 Sub with the green Cerachrom bezel. This has a slightly larger 41mm case and updated movement, to distinguish it from the original 2003 steel 'Kermit' Sub (ref. 16610LV).
Last, but not least - the black dial Daytona, this one is not going to hang around long - you know why.
