I apologize if this thread has already been discussed but I'm curious to know what predictions you guys think are coming?

I know its all speculation and no one truly has a clue except top Rolex employees but its fun to see where everyone sees the brand going.

Discontinued or updated Hulk?

Improvements to the Explorer II?

Discontinue any other models?

Will they introduce anymore models in two-tone or a precious metal that hasn't been done before?

What improvement or discontinuation would you most like to see?

Only thing I’m concerned with is changes to SS Sub or removal of red text from SD43. I recently sold my every day piece and awaiting one of these.

New solid steel Submariner with updated movement and oyster flex bracelet option.

2021 is the 50th anniversary of Explorer II. I don’t think Rolex will make any change in 2020.

Removing red text on SD50? I wouldn’t say impossible, but improbable.

I literally brought this up with my AD last week, wanting to be first on his list if it were announced. He emphatically said NO CHANCE! In his words... OysterFlex’s purpose is to keep the costs of precious metal models reasonable. It’ll never be offered on stainless steel, no matter how much sense it makes.

Haha nah, just rebuy another sub to resell Jan/Feb 2021 if nothing pans out. I highly doubt they don’t release the 126610LN before then as practically every other model has gotten the updated movements now. I also believe they held off to give the SD more sales.

Yeah completely agree, that’s more of a long shot for me. I’m just ocd about my watches being monotone, I hate the red, I know some people love it though.

€1.50 Beer and pretzels.

I’m not buying if they’re €20 again. Fancy mustard or not.

I foresee a lot of heartache and grief as people scramble to get their name down for yet more hot models. Posts of anguish bemoaning the long waiting lists for whatever slightly modified watch Rolex bring out.

TswaneNguni · 14 January 2020, 07:48 PM

New DJ dials
New DD dials .
Red/Black GMT in WG
...and for the frenzied masses a slightly slimmed down lug Sub with 3235 movement 126610LN (and 126613LB and LN ,126618.)

Discontinue : YM II and WG blue dial Submariner .

why would you wait for a SD43 without the red text?

A YG jubilee GMT would be awesome and very welcome. A hot seller for sure.

WatchLurv · 14 January 2020, 08:11 PM

Im more interested in what novelty pieces they come out with. I have $150K to burn.

As I stated above, I hate the red, I like monotone everything, ocd about it if you will. I don’t think it looks fluid.

Different strokes for different folks

s7horton · 14 January 2020, 08:35 PM

No idea what’s coming. If it’s like last year, nothing great.

On my wish list:

1. White dial explorer I
2. Discontinue smurf (since I have one)
3. Ceramic bezel explorer II (white dial)
4. Platinum sub

I agree with a few others, for now, OF will never be found on anything other than PM.

1 & 3 would be hits IMO

Why would you want to discontinue anything? Specifically why would you want to discontinue the Smurf? Because you own it and want it to go up in value so you can flip it?

If people feel heartache and grief over a watch, they’d be better off buying a mirror than a watch!
