Another Rolex patent - rotating bezel on a professional watch
http://www.faqs.org/patents/app/20150227113
Looks like something similar to the Sky-Dweller and Yacht-Master II's ring command bezel. |

The ring comando bezel system on the skydweller and YMII is pretty great. I imagine Rolex will continue to build on it and bring it into other watches in the years to come.

Turning bezel is either for GMT, calendar, or world time. Curious to see what they make here.

The first drawing doesn't look like a typical Oyster case! Maybe Tudor? The following two drawings do look like oyster cases.

Interesting. My guess is that it might not be until 2017 until we see what it actually is.
