If true that Sea Dweller is the biggest surprise...not one for the purist.

I am honestly trying to see the point of a TT Sea Dweller but I'm just going to give up.

Funny how polarizing these are. I kinda like the two tone Seadweller. It's so 1990s and looks flamboyantly expensive that it's hard not to love it.

I don’t have as much trouble with that one as I do the rest actually, especially the Tudor new model. I could see a market for a two tone larger Sub, but that Tudor model?? Yuck!!

This guy knows nothing more than any other watch blogger or casual enthusiast on this forum. Name of his blog suggests something else, but nobody outside Rolex knows anything about novelties.

Great if these are the true. I don't need to worry about the waiting list for any of them.

Wow that RolexPassionReport guy is a sensitive flower. I just called him out on Instagram for previously saying that the BLNR was 100% discontinued never to return and he blocked me.

If true, it will certainly give the market some breathing room.

which is sort of the point of predictions or psychics or people who commune with spirits. They want you to grasp at what they guess correctly and forget about the other stuff that is way way wrong. Then you think you are talking to grandma... or a Rolex insider.

I feel like modern day SD43 is just a larger Sub. So that'd be the point. Larger TT Sub. SD4K was the last Sea-Dweller with Sea-Dweller DNA. Now, if you want the Sea-Dweller, you get DSSD. If you want a Submariner+ you get SD. My two cents.

Yes, can we talk about that SKX like Tudor? It looks ugly, arguably worst designed watch I have seen in ages.

i really hope the helium escape valve is in gold... that would be perfect.

A gold pice on a tool watch which was always more tool than a sub, and the gold is on a part of the watch that is an abstract concept to almost everyone who wears it.

If anyone wants to look like an expert, post all of these potential 50 watches we are predicting to your Instagram today. After the release tomorrow, immediately delete the ones that are wrong. Keep the releases...then tell everyone “I’m an insider”

That would be quite amazing symbolically. "This piece is used to release helium, which is why we usually make it from titanium, but since deepest dive most of you will have is to depths of a swimming pool, we decided to make it from gold, which is arguably the worst material for the job, but hey, not like that matters."

if true i won't be buying any of those. Given I haven't got my pepsi yet, even if they release something of interest it would likely be in under demand.

Why do these Rolexpassionreport pictures have that kind of vintage look? Are these supposed to be leaked pictures? They do not look like renders. The backgrounds are weird, especially the split-colour ones...

I am guessing just photoshop with a filter and some creative choices.

Rolex Passion Report is a total buffoon. Conveniently blocking folks who ask for sources for his “leaks” and hoping we all forget he called the BLNR discontinued a couple months ago.

Agreed. Although putting the date magnifier on was the end of the purist interest.

They're cell phone images of a print Rolex catalog. There are some Patek ones floating around IG as well that look the same. Someone must have sneaked into Baselworld and snagged a couple of catalogs a few days early.
