Hello All, any thought what will be released next month at basilworld. I'm hoping for some large sizes, nothing too crazy but it would be nice to see an increase.

GMT2crazy · 11 March 2013, 12:52 PM

To be honest, I'm hoping for the opposite. That's more because I have very unfortunate sized wrists - I'd love to see another 36mm in the lineup...

aleksa930930 · 11 March 2013, 12:54 PM

i understand your point, but lets face it they need to stay current, they need an increase. the gmt and subs should all be 42mm, that not a big watch at all.

This is a 'trend' that peaked at least 12 months ago ( maybe more) I'm not seeing Rolex or many other high end manufactures increasing case sizes any further.

Thatguy · 11 March 2013, 12:58 PM

Idk I'm pretty happy with the size of my sub.

Rickn · 11 March 2013, 01:04 PM

I'd love to see the return of the sea-dweller in a size 42. I hate the cyclops, and the sub no-date is a smidge to small for a weekend,modest bling watch and the dssd is too ginormous on my wrist.

aleksa930930 · 11 March 2013, 01:05 PM

i'm looking at getting my first rlx, i have a panerai, oris and belrose, they are all 42-44mm, when i tried the gmtII i thought it just missed the mark with size, i tried the deap sea and i thought it was too bulky, so in between would be perfect. I have a feeling this year they will be introducing some new models. perhaps a new daytona racing watch as now they are the official time sponser of formula one.

wokafu · 11 March 2013, 01:08 PM

more classic revamp i hope...even though sports models are popular .more celini maybe..??

LightOnAHill · 11 March 2013, 01:31 PM

Every time I see one of these threads I hope to open it and see somebody telling about new models, and I'm always disappointed with the "what do you think will happen" post....

Sigh....

Exactly what I thought when I opened this... soon enough though.

Only Rolex know........

Tools · 11 March 2013, 03:34 PM

Rolex doesn't release "new models" in the sense of revamping their line like some companies do...

They will release the next iteration of ceramic Daytonas and some new dial options and we may see the Skydweller and YM II in a different metal.. They will not likely change the DSSD or Subs at all..

this year there hasn't even been the usual rumors leaking anywhere..

Ardalan · 11 March 2013, 06:46 PM

SS Ceramic Daytona is what I'm hoping for.

I'm with you on this one.

joe100 · 11 March 2013, 08:48 PM

I love it when the large watch crowd asks for a larger size this or that. Holding on by their fingernails. Sub 42mm is the standard for your rotating bezels and 40 and under for the rest.

They should make a sub with steel bezel so it's cheap to replace ,have lug holes to change out bands, make the dial simple and clean no date. Make the bracelet lighter and stronger with a simple clasp that doesn't break.

Been there, done that, and those days are long gone.

Hope Not

Brandon(phila) · 12 March 2013, 12:39 AM

Can't wait to see the new

ROLEX
Day-Sea-Date-Just-GMT-Tona-Sub-Sky-Master-Dweller-Gauss II"
Oyster Perpetual

It's 52mm and Black PVD'd Titatiumosor (Rolex term for Titanium, Platinum and Gold)

bigrustypig · 12 March 2013, 12:54 AM

I think they'll have a couple of 42s.....like maybe the GMTs or maybe even th Daytonas. But what I'd really love to see and own is a Sub in 42, SS and in blue dial and bezel. That would be a great punctuation mark to a diver line collection.

subtona · 12 March 2013, 01:08 AM

I still favor the 40mm size.

I can't help notice,
Many larger watches, when mismatched, look like they are wearing an arm.

SWISSAHOLICS · 12 March 2013, 01:30 AM

I think the 40mm is just perfect now with the new heavier lugs and squared off casing.

submariner123 · 12 March 2013, 08:40 AM

no, I don't want the sub to get any bigger. I love its current size. If you want a big, ugly watch, buy a Breitling.

Spunga · 12 March 2013, 08:52 AM

I'd rather they add to the range with a revisited new model rather than tweak an existing model.

As I've posted in another post I would love to see a rebirth of something from the past.

My other post read "I personally would love a to see a modern day version of 4767...

Make mine a Coke! If only they could master adding a little metallic sheen to the ceramic bezels, then they would really have something.
