I saw those renders doing the rounds a while back. The Milgauss would be of most interest to me out of those three, but looks like it’s been hitting the steroids hard in that pic.
How true this is I don’t know but I’ve been sent these by a watch dealer friend of supposedly this years Rolex releases...

Looks like someone’s wishlist to me.
Personally, I wouldn’t be interested in any if those.
Think they were wish list renders drawn up a few months ago by a magazine. I do like the look of them though.

The Milgauss looks quite nice but I dislike the crown at 12. If it had a triangle, square, or some other distinctive lumed mark in its place, I think it would look better. I would guess it would be too similar to the other sports watches for Rolex to produce. In terms of aesthetics I think it’s quite a good looking concept.
Like others the Milgauss is of most interest. I like the crown at the top, like on the Daytona, makes a change from a triangle. Not convinced by the bezel though.
I think a GV needs to move up the wants list before they disappear.
Loose the Cyclops on the Yachtmaster and that would be a winner....I won't hold my breath though
I like all of those , hope they come true and I can get on the 18 year waiting list.
Those yachtmaster hands are massively unbalanced.
the hour hans is too fat and too long.
I can't see Rolex themselves making that mistake
I like the idea of the Milgauss
Don't like the Milgauss at all. Lost its identity and looks like another dive watch, but that's probably what buyers want.
Yes and we all believe that the moon is made of cheese.
I like that 42mm Yachtmaster.....best looking YM to date in my view. I’d buy that...
love the explorer!
That white Explorer really is "meh". The other two have some redeeming features but I see nothing in the Exp.
That YM looks quite pleasing. Explorer seems like change for change sake though.
They are definitely not official Rolex designs. They were posted a while back and I think a White Explorer has been on the wish list for many years.
I've never understood why you would combine a rotating bezel with an antimagnetic watch either, are you supposed to be diving for magnets? Though it looks good on the original version. Less so with modern proportions, which looks like an obvious photoshop fantasy. But agreed on liking the 1019. Sadly I think they've already had their one and only go at bringing that back, and everything gets squeezed into the current style and proportions and loses the charm.
That white Explorer has been doing the rounds for years, but does at least look plausible and pretty good.
I just don’t see a white dial Explorer 1 happening unless Rolex is hell bent in competing head to head with their own OP39 White/egg shell dial.
If you want that plain aesthetic, you don’t have to spend Milgauss money!. Just settle for a new white dial OP36 or 39 and call it a day. What I absolutely love about the current Milgauss GV is the only Rolex with “Anti-Rolex” design cues. It is a fun watch and rebellious at the same time. You either love or hate it. Green sapphire crystal exclusive to this reference, thunderbolt second hand, again exclusive to this model, engraved caseback (Milgauss and SD43 are I believe the only references with marked caseback) and the drop dead gorgeous Z-Blue zirconium dial.
Yes I am a fan!
Why would you rob the Milgauss of its quirky personality? This watch avoids the seriousness of ceramic bezels, Mercedes hands, Round dial markers, black dials, fluted bezels, date cyclops, jubilee bracelets, 2 tone gold Rolesor and investment opportunities! (But if Rolex should discontinue it will surely skyrocket in price and will become even more sought after).

New white Explorer would be awesome, but unlikely. Of these I think a new Milgauss is the most likely, seeing as it's a pretty unpopular model and outdated since modern movements are more or less anti magnetic already.
