I'm on two local lists...(have relationship with both...)
I stopped in to my AD yesterday afternoon to look around and talk with the owner. He put me down on a list for a new 36mm Explorer. He said with new Rolex releases it's usually a couple of months before they start receiving shipments. I also asked him about whether it's possible to get 39mm models anymore (per my conversation with @TheFoo yesterday). He said it happens sometimes, but he's doubtful in this instance. Oh well, all I can do is check back in and see.

He said the new Tudors will be in tomorrow, which I will probably swing by and look at. There's no way I'd be interested in buying, but I really want to see what that green and gold BB58 looks like in person, along with the new chronograph and the silver/taupe BB58.

It’s not about my taste or yours. You said “tastemakers” in general.

As for being “more pop”—might be worthwhile to listen to more of John Mayer’s music, not just his radio hits. He is an exceptional blues/country songwriter and guitarist.

Anyway, in watches, Mayer’s influence is transcendental of genre. People buy the watches he wears regardless of whether they have any familiarity with his music or personal style.

He single-handedly made the rainbow Daytona cool and the green-dialed YG Daytona a grail watch. I don’t like either, but the influence is unmistakable.

Sorry Foo, posts crossed. I edited my comment and removed the pop reference before seeing your post because I realised it might've come across as too snarky. The point is, I don't deny that Mayer or Biden are influential. I'm saying that they're not the sort of tastemaker that made Rolex what it was in the midcentury era.
