Let’s have some fun - Rolex Pre-Baselworld crystal ball reading

What if Rolex were to introduce:


- a Milgauss with black ceramic bezel;
- an Explorer II with black ceramic bezel;
- a Submariner in Pt with ice blue dial and ceramic bezel;
- a Submariner in RG with ceramic bezel;
- bicolor Daytonas with ceramic bezel?

Would be interesting to hear your opinion.

Best, Volker

Bigger case & hour markers... Biggest case & hour markers... Pretty much that’s it.... One last thing, some diamond bezels too 🤐 Best, Mahesh.,

Oh yes...

When expectations are minimum, chances you get surprised are pretty good 😜 Calendar moon phasé Cellini ?!

Slightly de-maxi-fied cases and 32xx movements in an SS sportswatch model

The pt submariner with ice blue dial and dark blue (or more likely brown) ceramic bezel is one I've been predicting for years now. Maybe this year's the year, but whenever the next big sub anniversary is probably the year, if ever. Actually, when are the ... 

Would be great to see that Pt Submariner in 2019.

Definitely one I would be very interested in. Maybe one of our Rolex guys can answer the anniversary questions.

I was thinking about it today.

If only they could narrow the lugs of almost all their watches (Subs, GMT, Explorer, etc), I'd be more than happy. I'd like to see the new calibers replacing the older ones. Vte

A crazy Air King! [nt]

Crazy in which way? [nt]

 
 By: Pretty Boy : January 28th, 2019-14:17

Ok, PVD/black ceramic won’t happen.

 
 By: Pretty Boy : January 28th, 2019-14:22
Greenish glass would look good for sure, luminous hour markers too.

What if Rolex were to introduce...

A Sports Model and manage to supply it to customers that want to order it. I know it’s a crazy idea.

He he... Excellent! [nt]

 
 By: amanico : January 28th, 2019-14:16

Definitely! [nt]

I need to lie down [nt]

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : January 28th, 2019-14:22

I need to stand up ??? [nt]

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : January 28th, 2019-14:26

Better! ;) [nt]

 
 By: amanico : January 28th, 2019-14:27

LOL :-)))) [nt]

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : January 28th, 2019-14:40

And the reason ? [nt]

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : January 28th, 2019-14:20

Rumors have it that their strategy is .....

 
 By: Pretty Boy : January 28th, 2019-14:28
..... to produce and sell more precious metal versions/models at the expense of stainless steel versions/models. Maybe a capacity and/or profit margin thing.

It would make sense...

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : January 28th, 2019-14:33
I’m told that the Chinese market isn’t that bothered about sports models and demand is moving towards bimetallic models.

That's the called the Patek strategy

 
 By: reintitan : January 28th, 2019-15:04
LOL!

They make Porsches in precious metals, too?

 
 By: reintitan : January 29th, 2019-15:26
hehehehe ;-)

LOL 🤡 [nt]

Return of the Ref. 6062 Moon and Stars dial

 
 By: reintitan : January 28th, 2019-15:07
The Cellini moonphase shows us that they already have the movement. The only thing Rolex would have to do is make the Oyster case, dial, and hands. Even in precious metals this would sell like out like wildfire.

6238 ... Excellent design [nt]

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : January 29th, 2019-01:44

Maybe

A chrono/perpetual calendar combo marking sidereal time plus Easter. OK, just kidding. Different bezels and dials for existing models. Not that there’s anything wrong with that! 😀

I’d have a go with introducing a 38mm DJ..

 
 By: Echi : January 28th, 2019-21:12
I know the 36 wears big but I’m sure a lot of guys are hesitant simply because of the perception that anything 36 is small preventing them from even trying it at all. Sure there is the 41 but the proportions and aesthetics are worlds apart between over an... 

I would like...

A titanium submariner with no date and ceramic bezel... I am simple

Simple but effective 👍 [nt]

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : January 29th, 2019-01:43

Preferably

 
 By: keks : January 29th, 2019-01:58
With a gloss black dial to match the ceramic bezel and contrast against the brushed titanium case
