With the world in a state of economic mess lets look forward to an early Spring Day and Basil 09.

What do you think will be new for 09 from Rolex? Datejust II? Daytona II?
Black saphire dials? New color crystals? or any other ideas or wishes?

JJ Irani · 24 October 2008, 09:20 AM

For me there's only ONE wish - a 41 mm Datejust!!

Ozzie · 24 October 2008, 09:33 AM

I was at my AD's in London today and he thought that a newer Explorer model may be on the way. I don't think he had any inside info on it though he'd recently been to Rolex HQ, for a 'jolly'. The factory sounded amazing, he told me about the SD manufacturing and testing process, the scrap these things apart from the case back, if they fail the condensation test.

ryan_m · 24 October 2008, 09:56 AM

hopefully a ss sub ceramic.

rolex_addict · 24 October 2008, 09:59 AM

i think a tt ceramic sub and a new explorer

Lol-x · 24 October 2008, 10:15 AM

"I think", "I hope" "I wish".......

I know (well 99.99%) Rolex will bring out a TT Gold/Stainless Supercase Submariner.

mfer · 24 October 2008, 10:32 AM

I think it is going to be a small year for them. Alot of things changing. The TT sub should be released and maybe some more dial combos.

Yume-sama · 24 October 2008, 10:43 AM

A new ghastly animal pattern! Leopard... Zebra.... Giraffe?

We already have the Leopard and Zebra......still awaiting the rest of the Animal Kingdom!!

chicagowatchman · 24 October 2008, 10:49 AM

Maybe they will introduce the "Jackass" a watch for all the politicians who got us in the economic mess!

:r ofl:

cody p · 24 October 2008, 11:18 AM

maybe a sub with a pink dial? for the ladies, or their metrosexual companions.

Bisquitlips · 24 October 2008, 11:19 AM

I am hoping they will introduce a 40mm YG/SS YM with a Black MOP dial!

I sincerely doubt it though! It would be way too much trouble and too rare and expensive for anyone to obtain.

Art 1 · 24 October 2008, 11:21 AM

My wish would be a plat Daytona.

Yes, but would you be able to pay for it?

rescue7 · 24 October 2008, 11:53 AM

I predict Rolex will perfect and introduce a bi-color ceramic bezel for the GMT IIc, in both Pepsi and Coke colors.

Hamilton Carvalho · 24 October 2008, 11:55 AM

I hope the new Sub will be there this year.

I heard this one will not be there this year. Rolex still can't find a way to put the two colors together.

2008 has already come and gone

and yes there was a new Sub introduced in solid WG and YG

Hamilton Carvalho · 24 October 2008, 11:58 AM

Certainly it will cost an arm and a leg.

If there is also the option of Diamonds at the dial, I think that´s a GREAT idea!

I hope NOT!

It would inflate the resale value of my SS GMT II Pepsi!

( going to buy the Coke bezel soon ).

BTW, are there "Dial Upgrading" possibilites for the GMT II?

Black MOP, Diamonds???

Trurolexer · 25 October 2008, 04:17 AM

No one know...Subdate tt?

bardm · 25 October 2008, 04:35 AM

I wouldn't be suprised if they introduced the GMT IIc clasp on the YM. After all they have already replaced the Daytona clasp and th YM is probably the sports model who is least suited for the old "tin-can" clasp.

Agreed. I think it is going to be a subtle year for Rolex. I mean they can't introduce a new model every year can they?

argee1977 · 25 October 2008, 04:41 AM

I'm waiting for the year a Daytona Date is released, then it'll only be another 10 years on the waiting list and i'll have the best chrono

Jimbits76 · 25 October 2008, 05:46 AM

The new Sub TT....

Gonna be an interesting one...the black bezel one will be universally adored one imagines...

The blue...if it is that Crayola blue introduced this year it really is gonna divide the audiences!!!!!!!!!!!!

Be an interesting Spring next year here at TRF!!!!!!!!!! (If I aint been banned)

Spark · 25 October 2008, 05:56 AM

I have some inside information....................................... .............................................

I heard they will bring out a Stainless steel watch with a black dial with a crown thingy called a Coronet? just under a little triangle glowing thing at 12 o'clock on the dial and it will have glowing dots at every other hour mark except 3 O'clock where there will be a window with a magnifier over it to show the date.
It will also say Oyster Perpetual Date under that.
Under the denter pivot for the hands it will read Submariner.
It will be able to go under water to a depth of 1000ft.
It will have a very attractive bracelet which they will also call the oyster.
Please, Please don't tell anybody because I will be dog meat!!!!

erolex · 25 October 2008, 08:38 AM

I wish they will release an all ceramic 42 or 44mm daytona !! In black !
