Reply With QuoteThe Rolex Listmaster, it counts time in years and has an abacus to count your visits to the AD while you wait for another watch.
It only comes in blue or green and isnt available anywhere. Not even to view. Except on Instagram.
Some fun projections of possible Rolex models. Some of these look good - two tone isn't my thing, but the gold Explorer 1 is rather nice

The Dreammaster. One can hope.
Gammon-Master.
Liver spot dial, bracelet slightly too tight with a cloaking device which prevents it being photographed.

For the first time in a while I really don't care. I'm more looking forward to seeing what Zenith, Breguet, Blancpain et al come up with
Cant imagine a titanium blue sub. The colour is too strongly linked to gold. Maybe white or all grey. TBF, none of them are particularly likely.Originally Posted by learningtofly
Actually, that Ti/blue sub is bloody stunning.
Something with the Milgaus must surely be coming, it seems like everything else has recently been remodelled.
I thought that too after last year's upside down GMT abomination. But maybe the design team got a roasting and will pull it out the bag this year and do something the customers actually asked for.
Tudor usually has a more interesting event.
Wish list (which means it will never happen)
-YM42 no date titanium as spotted on Ben Ainsley
-WG DD40 onyx dial
-42mm Daytona
Expecting:
All Daytonas to carry a ceramic bezel
SkyDweller PM on Oysterflex
A new Daytona would be a strong possibility
Milgauss finally gone/replaced
Possibly a black GMT
OP range with some more colours but not Stella dial colours
Small chance of Cellini addition/s (doubtful)
All gold explorer with green dial.
Milgauss with crown guards.

Sub and Daytona anniversary I believe. So would be very surprised if there arent models to mark that.
Hulk dial to come back could easily happen for the sub.
Special edition Daytona colour scheme or as Wileeeeeey says refresh of the whole range.
Im usually wrong though so expect none of the above.
A gold Explorer would be perfect... way beyond what I'd spend, but the steel 39mm and gold 36mm two-watch combo would be all I'd ever need!
The Rolex 'not-a-rehash-of-the-same-conservative-stuff-we've-dished-out-for-ever' Chronometer.
This mythical watch, powered by a Superlative-Drive quartz/mechanical hybrid movement is made out of titanium, absolutely bears no reference to Oysters (that notorious fearsome marine creature) anywhere on the dial and is readily available for walk-ins to buy.
I'd agree that the Ti blue sub looks super but also agree blue = precious metal for the sub so it's unlikely. Surely the sub and Daytona are 2 of if not the 2 most iconic Rolex watches, so marking their anniversary seems pretty important but.... Who knows, Rolex rarely do much and last year they went big (for them). The design team is still worn out I'm sure.

Im quite a interested to see what comes out of Rolex this year. The predictions are nice to see, and if you read enough of them, someone will be right.
Love the look of the blue sub and the gold explorer.
The irony of predicting what Rolex does this year are that the renders generally speaking look so much better than the actual releases! Sometimes there is a leak a day before but who cares really. Wait and see. After last year I am not excited(sprite -wtf).

In my dreams, the Explorer 38, the Oyster Perpetual 38, the Datejust 38 with brushed bracelet, and a modern interpretation of the pre-Daytona.
In reality, they add 9mm to the Rainbow gem set Sky-dweller and make a two tone Submariner with a fluorescent pink dial.
More stuff very few people can actually get hold of. They'll probably take a deep, gorgeous blue and turn it into a washed-out paleness you'll never quite enjoy looking at, like the mushy-pea green LV bezel.
It is in fact available, but you'll be put on a list and maybe be allocated one a decade down the line. In the meantime you can try to get the Rolex Listmaster II to count years spent on the Listmaster list.
Almost completely agree. The blue is gorgeous, but the red 'Submariner' looks cheap to me. Just keep it white, it doesn't need an extra colour.Actually, that Ti/blue sub is bloody stunning.
I predict that on the 27th March we'll be flooded with calls asking for whatever has just been released and ill have the same "not released to market yet" conversation that ive had a thousand times before.
Other than that, I wonder if they'll be making more use of titanium and doing something with the Daytonas for the anniversary.
Subs they might not touch as have fairly recently been refreshed to 41mm.
GMT Masters to 41 with AR?
Full Panda Daytona?
Wow its that time again already !

I'd like an unchanged re-issue of the Oysterquartz.
"Laysgenmen! Since purple is THE colour of 2023, I present to you, The Glansmariner:"
Ooh yes that would be a nice addition. Over the last few years I have thought that the Oysterquartz, despite its age somehow looks fairly modern! Probably something to do with the AP styling!

I'd imagine they will have to mark the anniversaries of the Sub and Daytona with something. Beyond that I'm sure a RHD Sprite is on cards at some point. I read somewhere that introducing new colours to ceramic bezels is costly so they will want to get their money's worth out of that (just look at how long the BLNR has been around). Might not be this year though.
I was going to call it The Pucemaster. I think Glansmariner may pip it, while Glansmaster sounds a little too much like a lady who works at a massage parlour."Laysgenmen! Since purple is THE colour of 2023, I present to you, The Glansmariner:"
Chortle!
Original starting to look better and better

My white dial Air-King 14200 looks like a little white dial Explorer so that would get the thumbs up from me.
Rolex passion report have posted a couple of Daytona models. True panda and silver dial.
The mock ups look stunning whether they come true or not. A decent educated guess at this point as maybe too early for a proper leak.
Thanks for that. I upset him a few years ago and he blocked me. He's called some releases right in the past so I'd say these Daytonas could be accurate. Any chance of embedding pics from his post here?
Agree hes the main man at getting it right / close pre launch.
See below.
Many thanks. Be interesting to see what else he posts ;-)
You can Google and see without an account on IG for future ref.
Its always interesting to take a screenshot of rolex passion reports instagram before and after the releases are public.
He throws up a bunch of stuff and deletes the ones which were miles off the second the truth is out.
I follow and unfollow him once per year to get an idea but wouldnt assume hes got a real inside scoop. Hes just in a WhatsApp group or two which we arent.
Prime example was when he put out the new BLNR as white gold only, got challenged in the comments, and deleted the entire post (along with others) when the press releases came out.
Agreed.Actually, that Ti/blue sub is bloody stunning.
I can't see them doing a Daytona without the Cerachrom bezel. Personally I only got keen on the Daytona when that was introduced.

You mean in steel? A good chunk of the precious metal ones don't have it.
I'll keep my opinion of Philipp Stahl to myself (suffice to say it's not good) but I intrigued to see whether Rolex mark the 70th anniversary of Everest in any way, especially as this forum has been the key source of truth on that issue.
If they do, presumably they'll mark it in the same way as they have for the last 60 years, without claiming to have been at the actual summit.
Im interested to see if they do too.
Could also be a Daytona anniversary depending on if you use 73 or 75 as the start year and then the Sub too.
Based on the anniversary Explorer II however I dont hold much hope.
Yes, I do & should have said as much.

Ye, I can't see any other variants of steel models. They can churn in precious metal ones at 3 times the price.
Thats definitely going to be addressed for the precious metal variants I suspect. And I can see a new, larger 41mm case to signify the 60th anniversary too. And then next year those changes filter down to the Steel models too.
Dont expect any big Submariner changes but maybe a couple of new configurations in the 41mm case.
I'd like to see a Ti Submariner with Oysterflex bracelet but they're more likely do something like this instead.
I realise that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it does look like a nice watch but for me it's just 'nice' and not particularly stunning.Actually, that Ti/blue sub is bloody stunning.
I really like the gold Explorer despite the design/colour being 70/80's and I really like the white gold and green Daytona although would prefer the subdials to be non-green.
so nothing that I would be prepared to try and get on a waiting list for but a few that I like.
Thanks, been doing just that. Noticed he posted a full gold no date Sub yesterday. Can't see that happening.
