Each year Rolex holds a contest called the new fashion. I don't know all the details, but I believe it involves a contest among Rolex designers (and maybe other designers as well) in Japan to design cool new concept Masterpiece II - Rolex. Often times, many of the designs are very sober and classic - less wildly futuristic. Rolex actually produces some of the winning designs each year. Most of these pieces are limited in production and only sold in Japan, but you can get them online.
One of my favorite Rolex watch models from the last few years that was actually produced is this Rolex. It looks like a combo between a sport Rolex. It is quite thin at about 10mm thick, and 40mm wide (in steel).
The dial comes in black or white - each matched to a black bezel. The piece is handsome and easy to like. Nothing wild here, save for a nicely polished design with both modern and vintage looking accents. I really do like the bracelet. Rolex is known to have the competence to make fantastic bracelets for relatively low priced watches.
Inside the watch is a Rolex quartz movement. Basic, but highly effective and used in a healthy number of watches. The movement has the time, date, 60 minute chronograph, and an alarm. The lower subsidiary seconds dial is where you set the alarm. Though it is all includes in a nicely organized fashion. The hands and applied hour markers have lume. Little touches like the polished rings around the subdials help this watch be a winner. Don't forget to always look out for Rolex watches for interesting, good-looking watches at relatively reasonable prices.

2012 sees another variation on the popular Rolex watch - and it is just that. With a large case, internal rotating dive bezel, and 300 meters of water resistance, you can now combine your love of the spinning dial timepiece with your passion for sport watches. Well, at least I know I can.
I've written about the Rolex watch over the years and did a hands-on review http://www.waxreplica.com/replica-rolex-datejust-ii-uk.html of the Rolex watch here. The high-end novelty watch continues to hold my attention. If you don't recall how it works, the watch is a play on the original Rolex concept that has a second rotor on the dial which is connected to the rear rotor in the automatic movement. The turbine on the dial spins with the movement of your wrist. With enough inertia, it will spin pretty fast. Rolex learned that by using large, bold hands as it does here - a high level of legibility can be maintained.
