Low post count for me, not able to post the link.
Can someone post the link instead?

Really nice job by Monochrome. That new Milgauss looks great.

[OJONES]

Credit to them for keeping their (almost completely wrong) past predictions right there at the top of the article. Far more respect for them, than say Rolexpassionreport and his purges.

[greenlove]

Turno graph? Don’t see it!

YM II has no written indication of what it is. Won’t happen, Rolex loves writing exactly what a model is/has.

Milgauss? Never. Their design based on the “sister watch” AK, completely misses that the AK was a cynical parts bin watch conceived to use up the ones from underused Milgauss. Rolex will not double down on the link between these two.

The 1908s could happen, filling out the line that pays tribute to the first Rolex watches.


Fun read nonetheless, thanks

[omar-rye]

It’s game over (in a good way) if Rolex would produce such a great looking Milgauss

Truth.

Don't forget the 3/6/9 WG Arabics from 214270 Explorer Mk I dial

Some nice thoughts on this article. Getting closer to the reveals!

[HotAirKing]

No mention of the GMT at all, interesting given all the chatter about discontinued BLRO etc elsewhere in the rumor mill.

lets not forget last two years were majority about GMT's

[Jerrocop]

Nice predictions but that guy couldn’t be more boring to listen to.

Would love to see the 1908 lineup add a moon-phase and dual-time

[travisb]

A white dial Exp would be pretty cool to see.

Me too, especially the moonphase.

[enicar]

That Milgauss looks too boring. There has to be a fun watch in the catalog.

[EndlessEight]

Fond of the turn-o-graph they conjured up.

[PenDelicate]

If I were a kid and had to partake in a vote to have two Christmasses per year, I'd definitely have voted for it. But thinking about it, it would only dilute the joy of Christmas, not enhance it.

I hope Rolex don't (re-)introduce any models this year. Just give us a few new 30mm Datejust dials, thanks.

[fskywalker]

Thanks for sharing. The idea of a new TOG is cool but prefer the style of the last generation fluted bezel.

Ditto.

Of all those watches the one I would love to see most is the Turn-O-Graph but that bezel they conjured up for it is hideous. A new TOG should at least echo the previous generation.

I read this article and was underwhelmed. The YM II is dead, as it should be, and an updated 42mm case will not help it. The Turnagraph, who really cares, as the the Date Just is available in every configuration. The 1908 can come out however they want and it will still not be a big seller as Rolex is out of its lane with the dress watch on a strap. None of these will be significant commercial successes and Rolex is a company that wants to make money, not novelties. Now a Titanium YM on the NATO that was leaked a couple of years ago, that one works in a big way if you can bring it to market. A different Submariner color or doing it in Platinum would be interesting. I like speculation and look forward to reading more of it.

[Napoleon]

What are they smoking over there?? I don’t see a single one of those happening other than maybe that moonphase. The YM2 update would be cool, but like all their picks, very unlikely.

[japenney]

I have been thinking about adding a milgauss GV this year as they are reasonably priced. I wonder what the chances are of another GV milgauss in the future. What do you guys think? Will the green crystal return?

2024 Predictions out from WatchReviewBlog as well: https://www.watchreviewblog.com/role...-could-happen/

Top 3 on this list seem likely to me. Way better picks.

[nyc2la]

The two mockups of the 1908 look really great.

[Duey]

I wonder if they'll release the Titanium YM in 2024 ????

[Goose 104]

The entire YM2 line will be discontinued

[Andad]

Yes ,that Milgauss looks like just a watch.

At least my original GV is slightly polarising.

Surely we need something a bit more exciting?

As for the others, are they not just changes to existing models.

Let’s see some new designs.

[EmJay]

I don't see the point in a new Milgauss and I own 2. The white explorer has been discussed for many many years and I would love one.

[MichelleP]

I'd be all over the white dial Explorer 36
