Holy Cow!

After all these years, I have made an admittedly vague, but accurate prediction, and I'd forgotten all about it.
Not that my opinion matters, or that whatever Rolex decides to do with the Submariner will have any impact on my Rolex buying at this time or the near future, I don't think that we'll see any blue on an SS reference.

It wouldn't be unprecedented for Rolex to upgrade a movement in a watch and not make any other changes, except for the reference number, but I kind of think that the Sub will see some minor changes in the case dimensions.

Yes. They moved to the 3235 in the Date. Not sure about the facts on the 41mm diameter that I have seen in posts.

Hmmmmm.

Well, 41mm is larger than 40mm and the new lugs are slimmer than the old lugs, so that sounds like a change in case dimensions to me.

Blue bezel should have been Platinum and kept the Smurf...

The Simpsons probably beat ya to it by several years; they seem quite accurate with their predictions
