Truth.

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

my bet is that the yacht master 2 is long term dead.

mil gauss difficult to say. It was frankly not that popular at the end of its run. I saw jewellers having multiple ones in stock. It had a heyday for around 10 years after launch in 2007. Before covid they were not moving that much, and then a massive boost during covid when everything was selling. It is very much an enthusiasts watch. Rolex geeks love it, the general public Rolex buyer, not so much. Perhaps they would launch it again but not make masses of them, to keep it hot.

I’d be all in on a white dial Explorer 1 in 40mm. Hope that one comes to fruition.

Explorer in titanium with white dial. The contrast would be great plus the light weight for a field watch would be perfect.

Outstanding!

I could see a YM2 in 41mm if Rolex wants to keep it in the line up long term. Unfortunately , I believe it will be retired due to the lack of demand. As for the Milgauss, I own one and also unfortunately see it staying retired. The changes needed to slim down the Milgauss would just render it similar to an OP. Redundancy is just as expensive as an undesirable model. Sorry Monochrome, I would take this bet on the opposite side.

Im having a difficult time finding the lugs of Milgauss (taken from AK) attractive. Something about their opening angle is wrong.

I’ve never liked the renders of the explorer in white

Turn o graph models look cool though…

I'm looking forward to seeing the monochrome.
