It was reported earlier that ‘hero’ is typical web geek lingo. Not a geek so can’t confirm.

YES first post on page 20!

what is Rolex-58? Is this supposed to be a retro-line ala Tudor BB 58? I'm skeptical but I don't know what Rolex 58 is ... so maybe new?

Hero video? What is that in reference too?

what if it's the "never going back to a smaller case" Sub?

[bluebeamer]

[Barrier25]

Partially because nobody has mentioned this reference, and partially because it could use an update to bring it into the realm of the other sports models.....

AIRKING!!!

w/date, updated movement, all lume dial

[aussiejoe]

The more and more I loop at this loop, the less it looks like a jet screaming across the sky, and more like light reflecting off a chamfered edge.

What model would have chamfering?

A Submariner with 21mm bracelet?

[Mad Dog]

I agree. I am going with a new black dail YM...

- SS

- New movement

And...


Wait for it....


A blue ceramic bezel!!!!

People are saying they should focus more on keeping the AD cases stocked...I think it's quite the opposite. The goal is to empty the cases completely. YM seems like the easiest one to go from a case-dweller to a long waiting list with a couple of simple changes.

Always an exciting time of the year!

Can confirm. A prominent feature photo of a person/product/service is often referred to as a "hero" image.

I agree with you on this one

watch it again. You see a dial which gets you excited, then there is a streak of light as you sell your soul, then the watch materializes out of the shadows

That is really funny

Best interpretation! s off!

[JohnPB]

blue lume, updated Explorer 1?

[Uppersouth]

This is the new submariner with slimmer lugs, 41mm case, white gold applied crown logo, navy blue dial, matching navy ceramic bezel. This will be the most popular new release in Rolex history!

This is what I hope I’m seeing in the teaser. In a dreamer of the day, TE Lawrence sort of way.

[myc ritz]

SS Yachtmaster, Blue Matte Ceramic Bezel with on Oysterflex.

Correct, but appears to have gloss black lume plot surrounds.

[TimeToWatch]

New sub with less text and slimmer case?

Not a bad wait time...I was told my unborn son would take my position in line...I just turned 26...

(1) Rolex redesigned an existing model to have the same lug profile as the YM; (2) Rolex created a new model and gave it the same lug profile as the YM; (3) Rolex updated the YM. Options (1) and (2) are theoretically possible, but option (3) makes the most sense.

Yeah that makes sense.

I’m surprised there’s aren’t more people wildly guessing and hoping the sub got a new case. Is that the least likely? Yes. And to be honest I love the current sub/gmt shape, but I know a lot of people don’t. Anyway, I have no desire to see it change but it’d be a dramatic release for sure.

I think a WG yachtmaster on OF would be pretty awesome. Add an EZ link and I’m a future buyer.

[Divingdeep87]

Space-dweller.

[Wiener48]

YM, Sub or ExII, that’s the question.

[msdaytona]

Platinum sub
