Today we will be sending you the 2024 edition of Rolex's "Top 5 current recommended models by price range" (2 to 3 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 models within the 2 to 3 million yen price range, which is where the most popular current models are located, so please enjoy until the end!

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

① "Submariner" "Ref. 124060"

The Submariner is synonymous with diver's watches and is one of the most popular Rolex models across all generations .

This is the "Ref.124060" released in 2020 following the discontinuation of the previous 40mm diameter "Ref.114060". This model is called a "non-date" model without a date display, and like the "Explorer", it is equipped with the new generation movement "Cal.3230", ensuring a long power reserve of about 70 hours, high magnetic resistance, shock resistance, and improved winding efficiency. In the same year of 2020, the "Submariner" with date "Ref.126610 " was also released, but it is a highly popular professional model with a clean design and excellent practicality, and is recommended .

② 『Submariner』 「Ref.126613LB」

Next up is Rolex's pride and joy, the diver's watch, the Submariner .

This is commonly known as the "blue sub" and is one of the most popular combination (Rolesor) models among the many available. Although it is a combination model with yellow gold, which can often look gaudy, the combination with blue creates an exquisite balance and gives a very refreshing impression. Following the previous model "Ref.116613LB" which was the last 40mm size with gold letters on the dial, the current model "Ref.126613LB" released in 2020 has white letters and a brushed up case diameter of 41mm. The movement "Cal.3235" has a power reserve of approximately 70 hours and is highly practical, so we recommend it.

3. Yacht-Master 40 "Ref. 126622"

Next is the Yachtmaster, which was developed targeting celebrities who enjoy cruising .

This is the 40mm case size model "Ref.126622" released in 2019. It has a beautiful bezel made of platinum sandblasted and raised, and is a combination model named Rolesium exclusively for the Yacht-Master. The sunburst blue dial features a red second hand and the YACHT-MASTER lettering, giving it a luxurious and sporty look. The movement is the same as the Submariner Date, "Cal.3235", which lasts for approximately 70 hours and is highly practical. We recommend it for its refreshing and luxurious design .

④ "GMT Master II" "Ref. 126710GRNR"

The GMT-Master II, which was released in 2024, is equipped with a black and gray Cerachrom bezel.

This "Ref.126710GRNR" was released in 2023, the year after the yellow Rolesor (combination) "Ref.126713GRNR" with a black and gray Cerachrom bezel and the solid model "Ref.126718GRNR" were released in 2023. The chic bezel color follows the "Ref.116710LN" that was discontinued in 2019, and the "GMT MASTER II" lettering and GMT hand are accented with the corporate color green. When it comes to the "GMT Master," colorful bezel colors are popular, but there are probably many people who prefer this color scheme that is easy to use both on and off .

⑤ "GMT Master II" "Ref. 126710BLNR"

The last model we would like to introduce is the 126710BLNR, affectionately known as "Batman," which was released in 2019 and features a black and blue Cerachrom bezel.

This model was released the year after the Pepsi Ref.126710BLRO was released in 2018, and is a model with a blue-black bezel inherited from the previous model Ref.116710BLNR . The GMT hand is unified with the bezel color blue. The movement has been upgraded from the previous model Cal.3186 to the new Cal.3285, and the power reserve has been extended from about 48 hours to about 70 hours. It is also weekend -proof, which is a nice feature. If you want a sporty impression, why not choose the Oyster bracelet specification, or if you want a luxurious impression, why not choose the Jubilee bracelet specification?
