Sure go for it!
I am sure that Rolex is announcing new models on Twitter It sure would save them money and hassle on Basel!

Amature Photoshop attempt!!!
Look at the clasp, the crowns, the font, etc etc. Rolex doesn't put premature releases out anyway.They like to give subtle hints days before Basel......they like to maintain a bit of class and mystery to their creations.

I don't think Rolex has an official verified Twitter account.

They do have a twitter account, but it's a protected account. Here is the link:

That's a horrible Photoshop. That's NOT a Rolex.

Did anyone notice that the pic says "Now with a monobloc cerachrom bezel" and the watch has a SS bezel instead?

At least they could have put a ceramic bezel on it. And maybe a panda dial so we can see what we really want looks like.

Well, it seems like I've offended quite a few people here by posting this thread, so my apologies. I'm just a neophyte seeking to expend my knowledge and my passion, and clearly a sucker for photoshop.
Personally I really like the design, and if Rolex was able to make a blue cerachrom bezel, I don't see why they couldn't make a silver one. Either way looking forward to Basel. Thanks for the feedback everyone! GC |

Rolex never "leaks" anything, certainly not through Twitter These rumors are as common as the watches themselves 100% of these rumors are never backed up by any reliable and verifiable info Enjoy your time here, read and learn

Here's is the Official Rolex twitter account, so far as I can ascertain:
https://twitter.com/Rolex_Official The picture above can be found here--scroll down: https://twitter.com/Rolex_Official/media Something tells me this is BS, as the tweet is dated May 26.
