Thanks, me too. Will post an update on Saturday hopefully.Originally Posted by M1011
Excited to see what you pick up
AD: "Yes sir we can get you on the list for a SS Sub, but you'll need to buy a #6 first"
Me:
I do think other than the new Sub range its a new yachtmaster. Whether its the oysterflex in steel or the same on a steel bracelet with a dark coloured bezel.

Most of those have been floating around for months and many of them were also last years predictions.Someone just sent me this, apparently floating around social media!
The number 6 that no one likes was nicknamed the ‘sprite’.
I’m not into green myself but that really looks quite nice. I could see that selling quite well.I would like to see a yellow/rose gold Hulk. Possible I think for 70th sub anniversary 2023 release.
Mock up below, for me it would be the hottest of the green dial gold Rolex out there, gmt, Daytona, day date etc.

Very similar to the old GMT with green dial and black bezel...although that was not the hulk dial.
5, 8 and 9 for me please!Someone just sent me this, apparently floating around social media!
Ah, this one. It is.
Like these, Tony?I actually love that (save that the real thing would probably have different plots, hands and dial print)
I have it in good authority that all the movements are being upgraded to quartz

I'm in the mind set that the Submariner will be released with black dial and Ceramic Blue bezel. After all the LV was in that configuration whilst it was a 5 digit model. Also it would make the 116619 have a point of difference with the blue dial, just look what they did with the 116719 after releasing the Ceramic Pepsi, dial changed from black to blue. Maybe a rose gold Submariner too.
Wasn't this a joke from one of the websites? I'm sure there was something about one of the author's kids asking why there wasn't a sprite if there was a coke and a pepsi, so they mocked it up. Might have been for April fools.Ah, this one. It is.
I'm going to guess at a blue bezel, blue dial Submariner; following Tudor's lead with the blue BB that has just been released. I would be interested if there was a update to the Explorer II maybe with a ceramic bezel; but it's all academic really as it's highly unlikely I'd ever be able to get one at list price.
I’ve put my order in for a blue faced steel Daytona on 42mm for the 7th year running - I don’t think they are listening to me!
Probably.
Yup - here's the link to the article:
https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/ei...ite-gmt-master
Be interesting to see what the new model(s) will be - I'm expecting a blue steel sub with at least a 7 year waiting list to be one of the accessories (and may Ben Stiller doing the marketing)...
Also, possibly an updated Milgauss as well
I had a surprise call too and will collect on Friday. Asked nearly 3 years ago so wasn’t holding out.
Congratulations! Looking forward to seeing your update on Friday!

I think the hulk rather than being discontinued will be updated with the new movement - we will know in a week I guess
All interesting stuff, funny thing is I've had a voicemail today from my local AD saying to call them ASAP as I've been on the list for so long now I forgotten what I shown interest in, definitely a no date sub and think a Pepsi, so I'm guessing a Sub is why they are calling me as it'll probably be the old version next week? On the blower 9am tomoz to find out :-)
Lots of calls from ADs suggests Rolex clearing out the discontinued ones before new versions come in. Question is would you want the new version or the now discontinued one
Maybe they will release a “Fanta” with an orange bezel like the omega PO! Haha.

Great! What did they have for you? :-)
Seems to be a lot of rumour about a 42mm sub. I think that would be a mistake

It will be very interesting to see if the old movement subs are sold by ADs at same price as the new movement ones (assuming the sub is indeed getting a new movement of course)

Yep I’d imagine so and they would sell them all. Many people would be happy to get the very last watches of that number I’m guessing as they probably know they wouldn’t get the new one for years. If there is a new sub it will be the next one to get unless there’s an updated green or blue sub.
I think it's meant to be 41mm with the same style lugs as the SD43. If that's the case I'll definitely want one. I really like my Sub ND but if it had better lugs like the SD43 it might need the extra 1mm to balance it out. Could look too small otherwise.
Since this is the proverbial Bookies' Favourite:
What, my WIS-y chums, shall be its smug, annoying nickname?
I'm torn between "Dead Baby" and "Abused Smurfette", but I feel others can do better...
Have to say that holds no appeal. To be topical I’d call it Democrat Blue but prob the wrong thread to say itSince this is the proverbial Bookies' Favourite:

Interesting - oh well in 4 days you’ll know.
Yer I think this is what it’ll be, or could just be 40mm with a very slight taper, like the updated gmt where the change was almost imperceptible
That would be my guess...cannot see the GMT and Sub case sizes differing...not sure they really have in history?
But then again, cannot second guess Rolex! Anything is possible.
Even though theyre gaudy almost, if not actually, to the point of vulgarity, theres something I love about a green and yellow gold rolex. tried a green dialled GMT master II on a couple of years ago in Texas, fully expecting to get some comedy value out of it, but ended up really liking it. I dont think the green ever really worked on a "toolish" looking stainless case, but the OTT combination with gold just embraces the "look what i got" image.I would like to see a yellow/rose gold Hulk. Possible I think for 70th sub anniversary 2023 release.

A green bezel wouldve sealed the deal for me at the time I reckon.
Been to my local AD today. He thinks there will be a Sub with a black bezel and green dial.

Be amazing if they made an Omega inspired chronograph called the Relax Speedposter.
Haha! Should have gone with Hulkermit!

My AD suggested that Rolex will be introducing the new Rolex Hologram-ograph. Apparently, its a subscription service whereby you get a device that projects any Rolex you want on your wrist.that would be revolutionary!

I imagine Rolex can have its stock of new watches delivered to its AD’s anywhere in the world with 3 days.

A bog standard 114060 with a 3,6,9 dial would be rather nice.
Personally I think we will see more diamond encrusted super expensive models which only A listers and a Rapper will buy. A much bigger profit margin for less work.

Not that any of us will be seeing old movt.models except on watching and dealers are certainly not going to discount anything.
