Looking at the side of a current Daytona (I don't own one, just using images on the 'net), it appears that the crown guards are as thick/maybe thicker than the knurled part of the pushers. So if the knurling on the pushers is showing, shouldn't the crown guards be showing?



Look at the image below...the crown guards seem to be at least as tall, maybe taller than the pusher knurling.



Is this wrong? Can someone with a Daytona show a dead on side view (side with the crown/controls)?



You're right about the crown guards, they do sit higher than the pushers. The only piece higher than the guards from that perspective is the actual crown

So based on that, the teaser with what appears to be dials/pushers on either side of the crown can't be a Daytona. The crown guards on either side of the crown would have to be showing if the pushers are showing.

A modern Rolex Antimagnetic with screw down pushers would

Do these lugs look familiar

I have a feeling it's going to be a precious metal, higher end watch.

Like with Rolex and telling time, Leica is now more about the build quality and experience than it is about the resulting image.

I really can't think of any working professional photographers that use Leica. I always pay attention at sporting events or news conferences to the cameras. Also, whenever the major news sites do a "best pictures of the year" roundup they sometimes provide the EXIF information. You always find 90% of professionals use Canon. 5%-8% use Nikon, the rest probably use an iPhone. (joking on the iPhone) I have not checked in a year or so, I imagine the micro 4/3rds format is beginning to make inroads. Leica - not so much.

Update: I just ran through all the winners of the 2016 World Press Photo contest (www.worldpressphoto.org) I did not do a count but it looks like 75% Canon, 25% Nikon and I think one Fujifilm. To be more specific, the vast majority of the Canon shooters were using a 5D and the Nikon winners were using the 710 or 810. A lot of good pictures by the way.

Update, I went through the 2017 winners - 15 Canon, 8 Nikon, 1 Pentax, 1 Fuji and 9 the camera was unlisted.

Every year Rolex puts out a video that really shows nothing lol. Fun to guess but I'm sure we will all be way off!

I know it's a new chrono probably triple date moonphase if it isn't then Rolex teasers are not very good ;)

It depends. Leica was never a large market share of the professional photography scene compared to Canon and Nikon, but some of the best over at Magnum have been Leica shooters for decades. Shooting with a rangefinder is a specific way of working that many prefer, so it's a shame some of the less expensive companies don't provide a rangefinder option like they used to.

Roger Federer in new GQ article wearing Rolex in every photo. A few of them look a little chunky to be a submariner. Maybe I'm looking too much into it, but it would be well-timed to throw this out there right before Basel

How about a Submariner in a different metal (white?)
Maybe the teaser is a platinum sub instead of a cyclops SD.
The cyclops does'nt look that big to me or maybe it is because its raising out of that white liquid ?

Cheers

Cool, thanks - not far off I'd say... I for one am almost sure it's a Daytona now

Thanks again, cheers

Very different tools for very different tasks though, I'd say. I use a 400mm Tele for most of what I do (Motorsport). My Canons are perfect for that. On vacation, I love the lightness of my old A1 to do street work. Could totally see using a Leoca for the latter, never for the former... Canon's image driving segment is in sports, a rangefinder would hardly fit the brand. Probably similar with Nikon.

Yeah, that was my point. "Professional" photography encompasses a wide range applications, and Leica does have some niches it fills in that space.

Last year the teaser clearly showed a variation of a Daytona.

You may be on to something. What's interesting is that it has a black dial and polished center links with what looks to be diver style markings on the bezel. It includes a cyclops, but it's not a GMT Master. I can't tell if the lugs are slimmer, but this definitely has the Sub bezel markings vs the SD4k and polished center links without the Smurf dial.

Could this be a new black dial WG Sub, Platinum Sub, or brand new Sub series introduction/update? Or a WG SD that went back to the old bezel markings?

On the cover of the issue looks to be either the WG BLRO or a new Coke of some sort. Looks to be a GMT case shape where he is holding the trophy, but can't tell if WG or not and if BLRO or Coke.

Excited to say the least. Attached a zoomed in pic

I looked at the other photos, and I'm pretty sure it is a GMT. Over in the open forum, we've been talking about his post-match Rolex from the other day, and it looks pretty different in several shots, even appearing to have a steel bezel, because of lighting/glare/flash, but I finally found a good still and it turned out to just be a BLNR.

Check out how crazy the bezel looks in this pic:

Yes you are right that is a GMT, that bezel had me both memorized and puzzled on the cover

One pic is definitely Roger wearing a Day Date. I think there may be a diver mixed in these pics as well, but tough to tell for sure in these pics

Edit: There's a video as well. Looks like "just" a BLNR. I give up, no conspiracy theory

no. speedy pro is perfection. besides omega has 44mm speed masters....i assume you didn't know.....

Of course I know all about Omegas, too. I'm just saying that changing the size of the Sea Dweller is akin to changing the size of the Moonwatch, so it should at least give you pause, too.

For the 60th I wish Omega would produce a second series of the pro at 42mm with the original design (perhaps add a panda dial), just in-house anti-magnetic movement update.

IMO they missing their audience with the 44mm Speedmaster. And way too many variations of related models in the line, at least in my view. I bet they would sell a lot more of the in-house versions at 42mm than what they are now at other sizes

I agree. Something is up with up with the watch in this photo...
Although I can't make out the model, (most likely because it is the new 2017 Basel release ) I did notice that the time is set to the usual 10:10:31 as it typically is on new display models.

Take a look:

I could be wrong but I seriously doubt Rolex is going to put a new release in a photo spread in GQ the week before Baselworld. Just saying...

Yup, looks like a GMT with the bezel spun around.

Has anyone noticed you can clearly read "submariner" when you zoom in on the right photo?

So a 42mm SD with cyclops seems the most logical explanation.

Sorry, this one. Photo on right clearly shows "submariner" on the dial. Can't make out the depth though.

Depth says 1000ft/300m.
Where did you get the photo on the right?
