Bulging back = inhouse movement
Bezel and crystal indicate Black Bay family
Thickness of taper from lugs to strap suggest rubber to me
Looking closer at the first pic - steel version of Bronze with numerals , black with black rubber

Profile shot looks more like a chrono with a sloped fixed bezel. Thickness suggests a 7753 type movement...

I think it's going to be a larger Black Bay in steel with arabics and maybe a rubber strap. A bit meh if that's the case

Could be nice, with straight hands and 3-6-9 dial
It's just a matter of time...
My local AD mentioned today that they stopped receiving SD4000s some months ago; he thinks they are being discontinued. He also predicted a perpetual calendar version of the Day Date.
He also mentioned the efforts Rolex are going to, in an effort to stop profiteering on watches like the Daytona. Somehow I can"t see how that can work . Once a customer owns the watch...it is his to do with as he wishes. Rolex cannot stop that, it is perfectly legal.
Of course Rolex can stop it, they simply need to increase production to meet demand, something they could easily do, but they want the penny and the bun. You can control price or supply, but not both, even the mighty Rolex can't escape the rules of basic economics.
They could void warranty upon resale
Let this be a thread about Basel 2017 and not about Rolex production/marketing/sales practices.
Here's another photo from the 'Rolex' website:

That's blue bezel is very nice, can't see it happening though.
Won't happen. Too much like a BLNR. Very very nice though.

I don't get how there's a waiting list without even any definitive heads up as to any releases???

Limited edition Seamaster 300 60th Anniversary, ref. 234.10.39.20.01.001 (39mm case, solid case back 3557 pieces).
Nicked this from wus, it's based on the MRI teaser posted by Omega on Instagram.
Tudor's horrific chrono, probably in the profile pic already posted here.

Tudor Black Bay 43mm in Stainless Steel with numerals, another miss from Tudor in my opinion.

I think I'm in love,
H.Y. Moser just teased the pioneer center seconds in steel with a blue fume dial.
I've been looking for a dressier watch, but still sporty-ish, I think this could be the one.
Edit, found a link to some pics

Hodinkee has begun their "Live" page for Baselworld:

The first post?...a photo of a railway track....I'm trying to contain my excitement
I've often wondered about this. My understanding is that if you buy from a retailer then under EU law you are entitled to the 2 year warranty that all goods are covered by but if you buy privately you have no right to a guarantee. This is from the EU consumer law website:
"Second-hand goods
Second–hand goods that you buy from a trader are also covered by the minimum 2-year guarantee. However, goods bought from private individuals or at public auctions are not covered."
Wouldn't this mean that Rolex (or anyone else for that matter) would not have to honour a warranty on a secondhand watch that a private individual has owned?
How the legislation applies to business and private sellers is specified in the legislation:-
Consumer Rights Act 2015 (for sales on or after 1st October 2015)
The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 (potentially relevant)
It is also necessary to deconflate statutory retailers' warranties from voluntarily offered manufacturers' warranties (possibly, debatably, a contractual matter). A lot of discussions like this utterly confuse and conflate the two entirely different things.
And this really isn't the thread for this discussion. :-) It's been done before. See http://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.ph...anty-Confusion

The rivets on that bracelet are not nice at all.
It's looking more and more like Tudor lucked into their couple nice designs. Everything since then has been lame.
That Tudor chrono is a Black Bay too, isn't it? Crown, handset, dial, case chamfer, rivet bracelet...
Will Tudor ever release anything that isn't a variant of the Black Bay again? I mean, I love them, but it's starting to wear thin.
I don't understand the obsession with putting snowflake hands on everything. It made sense with the BB & Pelagos. Less so with the BB36, though I appreciate it helps distinguish it from the Explorer. However, for me they have no business being on a chronograph. Tudor didn't use them in the past and I can't understand why they think it would be a good idea now.
Has your guy allowed you on a Daytona list as well?

The warranty is for the watch. I think this has been discussed earlier.

Topic now way of course!

Haha, what was the NYR? no more watches? If so I am sure my wife would like that to be implemented for me!
This is a beautiful watch (should it happen). I prefer it compared to the Kermit they did.
