Called up one of the sales guy from my
local AD (biggest in singapore) and was told that the new gmt 116710? will probably come out next year? Makes me wondered if I should wait or but a 16710?
Ps: Posted wrongly into the watch gallery forum.. |

I think your AD is misinformed, so don't expect any new SS GMT-II next year. Cheers - JJ

just to give you fuel for thought JJ, the buzz in the trade, which when my AD actually spoke to the Rolex rep at basel 2006 WAS the next model to get the "treatment was the TT SUB!!!!!!, to quote the AD the Rolex rep didn't dispute nor confirm but a nod and a wink!!!! , i normally would take this with a pinch of salt like all unconfirmed rumours but he [the AD] actually "strongly" advised against even considering the TT SUB at this time for this reason, even with me stood there in front of him fondling the very same watch!

Even the top guy for this part of the world is unaware of the oncoming changes. Rumours abound....but they are just that - rumours. I would be stupid to hold off on the purchase of my TT Blue Sub 'cause the price I'm getting it at would blow most of your guys socks clean off. Besides, IF and when the new ones come out, they'll be at a ridiculously unaffordable price. JJ

i too have heard rumours that the Sub range is upfor a revamp and that 1 of the subrange will be unveiled at Basel 2007 (possibly featuring a new colour) suppose we'll have to wait and see...
It's also strongely suggested that Basel 2007 will also see the SS GMTII unveiled... again I suppose we can only wait and see... |

Seems like there are a few theories now:
1. SS Supercase GMTII; 2. TT Supercase Submariner; 3. SS Supercase non-date Submariner? JJ. even if there is a new TT Sub next year like you say the price will be high and you may be waiting another 12 months. In the meantime you could enjoy the current model TT for a price you wont have to take out a second mortgage on your home. Whatever happens you can always make another deal later if you are inclined. |
