summary
I'm sure many of you were looking forward to the announcement of Rolex's new products in 2022, but what did you all think of them?
I got the impression that many models with trendy colors were announced. Also, this year, contrary to most expectations, no new models were announced for the Milgauss, so I'm interested to see what the future holds for the series.
By the way, there are a wide variety of combinations of materials, sizes, and dials for the Datejust, such as the green palm motif index diamond, and we have not been able to list them all, so please forgive us for that.
If you have any other ideas, please let me know!
see you!
