[2024 Edition] Rolex "Top 5 Recommended Current Models by Price Range" <1-2 Million Yen Edition>

Today we will be sending you the 2024 edition of Rolex's "Top 5 current recommended models by price range" (1 million to 2 million yen edition) .

Even though we say "current model," in recent years, many models with various variations have been sold. Also, it is quite difficult to actually compare and consider which model is best among them, whether at an official store or a secondary distributor. So, this time, from the perspective of a professional who has handled many models, I would like to introduce a carefully selected list of models that I really recommend by price range!

This time, we have selected popular models from among the current models within the 1 to 2 million yen budget, so please enjoy until the end!

If you are interested in any of the watches, please register your interest in them now.

① "Explorer 36" "Ref. 124270"

The Explorer is one of the most popular Rolex models .

This is the "Ref.124270", which was released in 2021 following the discontinuation of the previous 39mm diameter "Ref.214270". When it comes to "Explorer", many people probably feel that this 36mm case is a good fit. Like the non-date "Submariner" "Ref.124060", it is equipped with the new generation movement "Cal.3230", which ensures a long power reserve of about 70 hours, up from about 48 hours for "Cal.3132", and has high magnetic resistance, shock resistance, and improved winding efficiency. In 2023, the 40mm diameter "Explorer 40" "Ref.224270 " was also released, but we still recommend the "Ref.124270", which has returned to the classic size .

② "Datejust 36" "Ref.126200"

The Datejust is available in a variety of case sizes, including 41mm, 36mm, 31mm, and ladies' sizes .

This time we recommend the 36 mm Ref. 126200. This classic dress watch has a wide variety of dial variations and is a popular model that many people choose as their first Rolex. The mint green dial, which was added in the new model for 2022, and the slate Roman dial, commonly known as Wimbledon, are particularly popular. Many men may be wondering whether to purchase the 36 mm Ref. 126200 or the 41 mm Ref. 126300, but the smooth bezel specifications have different bezel shapes for both references. The Ref. 126200 has a rounded dome shape, while the Ref. 126300 has a slightly flat bezel. Preferences are divided, but this time we recommend the 36 mm Ref. 126200 for its overall balance, including the size of the dial.

③ "Datejust 41" "Ref.126334"

Next up, we will introduce the Ref. 126334 from the Datejust, a model synonymous with dress watches, which excels in both design and functionality .

This model features an 18K white gold fluted bezel and a stainless steel combination called Rolesor. The fluted bezel sparkles brilliantly with the movement of your wrist, exuding a sense of luxury, but its silver color makes it easy to wear on a daily basis, whether on or off the job. There are two types of bracelets available; if you want a calm, sporty look, try the Oyster bracelet, or if you want a luxurious look, try the Jubilee bracelet .

④ "Oyster Perpetual 41" "Ref. 124300"

The Oyster Perpetual is a successor to the original Oyster, which was released in 1926 as the world's first waterproof wristwatch.

It's still fresh in our memory that the pop dial variations released in 2020, such as turquoise, candy pink, and coral red, became a hot topic and attracted a lot of attention. It features a simple and universal design with no date display, a dome bezel with a beautiful mirror finish, and an Oyster bracelet. Like the Datejust, there are a wide variety of dial variations, so you can have fun looking for your favorite color . In addition, there are a wide variety of case sizes, including 41mm, 36mm, 34mm, 31mm, and a ladies' size of 28mm. The Oyster Perpetual is relatively stable in price, and is recommended as it is a model that has a good balance of status, functionality, and price.

⑤ "Yacht-Master 37" "Ref. 268622"

The last model we would like to introduce is the Yachtmaster, which was developed targeting celebrities who enjoy cruising .

This is the unisex model "Ref. 268622" with a case size of 37mm, released in 2016. It has a beautiful bezel made of platinum with a sandblasted and raised finish, and is a combination model exclusive to the "Yacht-Master" named Rolesium. The sunburst slate dial is accented with a turquoise second hand and the YACHT-MASTER lettering. The exquisite size and design are attractive and highly recommended.
