it's @mavica ! in orb form!

@mavica it's almost like we can tell the future!

@revolverocelot oh my god that is amazing

@mavica by which I mean "answering the question but trying really hard not to admit I'm english"

@mavica I guess they can call themselves american in the same way I can call myself european

but they never mean that

@revolverocelot I don't know if that's a real thing or not and I am afraid to find out

the reason it has to be named after a muppet is the fact that the first model of sub that had a black dial and green bezel was nicknamed the Kermit and they want to keep the naming scheme going

I am not making a word of this up

there are ongoing arguments as to if the black dial, blue bezel is to be called the Cookie Monster or the Grover

the new green bezel submariner has a larger face and smaller "ears" (lugs)

some smartarses are already calling it the "Rolex Shrek" and I approve

@mavica watercooled squobit

@joshua @TheGibson technically a species is any group capable of interbreeding

so if we all get together and refuse to fuck the rich then they could be considered a different species

oh, they've got new oyster perpetuals too

they've dropped the 39mm version and replaced it with a 41mm

some nice dials in silver, black, or blue

and a number of godawful dials in other colours

oh, and the gold skydweller is now available on a rubber strap

@slightlyflightyone@vulpine.club I really don't know how much of it is the funding from the US government and how much of it is them figuring out what appeals to their core audience of gamers and frankly I think that might be worse

what schrodinger meant: haha obviously this is a ridiculous interpretation

what everyone heard: ZOMBIE CAT! WOO!

@mavica it's a bot that adds crocs to any pictures where feet are visible

@wigglytuffitout @stolas@elekk.xyz jesus, you USAians are like, a whole new level of whiteness

and I say that as one of the most mayonnaise-coloured bastards you'll see

@mavica oh the new 1mm larger case size and 21mm lug width is going to cause no end of arguments in the rolex fandom I'm sure

oh yeah, there's an identifiably different rolex fandom within watch fandom

this shit is just as fractal as everything else

Rolex releases have been... uh... released

subs, new 41mm case that looks almost identical to the old one

7 of them total, come with a new movement

lug width is now 21mm because fuck putting it on widely available aftermarket straps I guess
