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:

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!

You have not offended anyone but as a new member to this forum a few pieces of advice:

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

I will echo that you didn't offend anyone. Everyone has a few posts where they were just wrong about it.

Welcome, it's cool to learn here.

Would not the triangles on the bezel make it a white gold one? :)

No one took offence here, bud, certainly not me.
Live and learn, and learn and learn.


Most folks here are die hard fans, and can spot a fake at a glance.
Keep on posting

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.
