From the PRESSROOM at BASEL Rolex & Tudor
Wed, 17 March 2010 07:40
Hi All;
Whilst the hordes were pushing each other aside at the front of the Rolex stand trying to get closeups of the new Subs & the Explorer, the best image wasn't even in the window.
If you walked round to the back of the stand, there 2 metres high were fabulous images of the new introductions this year.
But finally I elbowed my way through & took these images for you all
The truth is, the Rolex stuff is pretty much what we expected; but who would have thought that Tudor would come up with these?
I will have good press pack pics in an hour or so, now I am off to Omega; see you here soon.
Good Luck
James

Thank you for psoting this so quickly. Your efforts both today and the many wonderful contributions by all the mods are hugely appreciated by me.
Cheers,

I think the Explorer looks ok, but now the head is kinda bulbous for the bracelet. The great thing about the old Explorer was that the bracelet was quite wide for the watch case, not it has lost that rugged ratio. The minute hand looks a little short, maybe it's just the camera angle.
