Reply With QuoteA lot of gold and diamonds then. Are they shifting more towards “luxury” than professional models?
New teaser now up on the socials. Looks like a new PM Skydweller and guilloche dial 1908?
Also a ss sports on jubilee. New GMT? Also in full everose gold.
EDIT: So having studied the teaser in more detail it's looking like there are 7 different watches referenced in the trailer
1) Rose gold fluted on president bracelet (new Day Date?)
EDIT: This bracelet is currently available on the lady-datejust. Could be a larger kady-datejust in everose?
2) light blue guilloche with slim hands (1908?)
3) Steel or white gold (possibly titanium) sports on jubilee (GMT in steel?)
4) Something in white gold, steel or titanium on oysterflex
5) Full yellow gold fluted on oyster with open case back (Skydweller? New Datejust even?)
6) Blingy gem set bezel on a pearmaster or similar that nobody wants
7) Full Rose gold sports on jubilee (GMT?) EDIT: no crown guards so likely to be Sky Dweller or Datejust?
Trailer ends on female wrist shot of fluted Rose gold on president or lady-datejust bracelet from opening shot.

Can’t be sports as no CGuard

Good spot. The teaser viewed on my phone via the Rolex website cropped that off but I can see it full scale on Rokex's Instagram.Originally Posted by RJM25R
I never visit the Rolex website (obviously) but having just done so I find it amazing that it has links to 'Find your Rolex' and 'Configure your Rolex' when you can't actually buy one. You have to contact a local AD in person or by phone who will tell you that you can't have one. If you've spent £10k with them you may be able to get one at some point in the future. I never understand why people get excited about new releases as only a select few will ever get them. Pointless.
5) Full yellow gold fluted on oyster with open case back (Skydweller? New Datejust even?)
That looks like a Ti caseback. YG DSSD?
FFS - have they lost the plot (again)?.

When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
Jubilee Bracelet on Day-Date 36 it looks like. This is something they dug out of the old catalogue as its been available before in history.
GMT bezel I think they have discoloured it so we wont know what it actually is. Hopefully Coke.
Blue dial guilloche must be a platinum watch, so platinum 1908 most likely.
Yellow gold oyster bracelet for 126718 ?
This will be a middle year, with few interesting things I think, after last years big drops.
A lot of online gossip about a new GMT Coke coming in and the Pepsi being rested. We shall see next week.
Peeps also chatting that the BLNR will be discontinued instead of Pepsi. I hope that doesn't happen cos I plan to get a bat girl at some point.
while I agree with your sentiment, I don't mind a bit of a look but don't touch launch. Think of the now defunct Victorias Secret Fashion Show from a straight mans point of view. Worth a look once a year even if you know it's never going to be your reality.
Just what Rolex buyers are desperately after and looking forward to. Mainly bling, bling and more bling!! Honestly.

Even if you can’t buy the new watches, the announcements can have an impact on someone’s decision making. If you were on the list (exp. of interest, up the ar** of your AD etc) for a watch that is suddenly discontinued do you start to consider a used example of that model or move on to another list for another indefinite wait.
We also know from experience how the used dealers react to a watch being discontinued.
Could be just me but I am sure I saw a diamond fluted bezel, which was turning, like a SkyDweller.

Can't see a pepsi and coke for sale at same time
All three (black, Pepsi and coke) were available in older iterations. No benefit in not doing so.

Yes in the 16710. But not in any of the references prior to the 16710.
Works for me if it means I now can't get a watch I don't want instead of the usual can't get what I do!
And they did go on to rest the Pepsi for a good few years before bringing it back on the WG version only for a couple of years before the current steel version was released.
Some weird and wonderful imaginations out there putting together pictures of how they think things would look.
A Milgauss with crown guards was one of the worst for me. Can’t see that, the GV was only discontinued last year, far too soon for a new version IMO.
Left hand DD?
Wash your mouth out.Left hand DD?
Brace yourselves...
I've just seen the press release...
It’s in rose gold, the malcontents on TZ won’t stand for it. Yellow or rose gold with a lovely leather strap or WG or Plat are the only options acceptable here otherwise you are just a look at me show off.Left hand DD?
Crown on the left, behave yourself.
Good point.
If the crown is on the left hand side why is the cyclops on the right hand side, care to explain
When the iconic meets the unexpected?If the crown is on the left hand side why is the cyclops on the right hand side, care to explain
Curious to know what’s on Oysterflex
Jubilee with no crown guards could be interesting but is PM
There is something which looks like a top hat crystal almost too
If that’s a row of diamonds in a rose gold bezel you are going to need to live in a back street in Birmingham in order to get on the list.
And they’ll check your car to make sure you have red leather seats before selling it to you.
And a Kevin and Tracey green sun visor strip on the windscreen.
Actually this bracelet is already available on the lady datejust so it might not be a Day Date at all. Could be a larger lady datejust in everose?

I agree Tony.

SS GRNR is my prediction
Easy one using mostly existing parts. Bound to happen eventually.
Further moving upmarket with gold/diamond/precious metal models..
Let them I say…
From other threads and general rumours, current precious metal models are now readily available, so Rolex probably knows they are the models needing a shot in the arm
I reckon they are sat because most people can't afford the 300% premium the carry.
Maybe some oysterflex submariners will help shift a few gold subs though.

Jeez. Might as well just strap an ingot to your wrist and shout 'come and get me'.
What’s the gold watch with a steel or Ti caseback, some online suggest a gold Milgauss, surely not…
Looking again, I think it’s the back of that chunky boy.
Looks like the new DD40 Everose with the new dark dial that was seen at The Oscars in that clip.
Plus maybe a Platinum or White Gold 1908 too.
Unsure on the GMT Master 2 seen in that clip.

I know some people are diehard Rolex fans and I’m sorry if this causes offence but they all look horrid. Big vulgar chunks of bling.

That will have some serious heft in gold.
Blimey that full gold DSSD is a bit shouty, and not in a good way!
Daddel's going to flake when he sees that.
