Rolex Baselworld 2017 thoughts....

they nailed 2016 pretty good......i like their 2017 chances....

apologies in advance if this has already been posted

[japenney]

I don't believe the D blue will be discontinued when it is so popular but we shall see.

[Muzz]

The TT Daytona with the champagne dial is wonderful looking!! I do agree with Josh that the DSSD will not be dropped.

[ParsonBrown]

I like those Yacthmasters.

If they do discontinue the D Blue....there goes my chances of getting one this decade LOL...

[seand442]

I might have to keep saving if that 50th anniversary SD were to come true. I am liking that blue. Of course, I'm sure the price will be insane.

I agree, like the full black subdials, makes it a tan panda dial . I've seen all these before however, except the blue SDc, we mostly think red would be more likely and appropriate.

[qman]

Day Date w/ annual calendar would be my top pick

[THC]

I would seriously be shocked if they eliminate the DJ41 after only one year... I think that would anger the buyers of this year's, understandably so.

Yep not sure what to make of that with the DJ41, such a short run I can't see it. But would that make it rare and special or a lemon that no-one wants, but hey I love it regardless.

Slight curve ball I know but the 50th is a special year for the SD, could it be remembered for removing a model, D Blue as well as introducing a new one.

I have a ton of Leopard clothing left over that this combo would go perfectly with Neil so I have my fingers crossed!!! Very sharp in my eyes!!

[jagwap]

The daytona and 40mm DJ make sense as a logical progression.

I like the SS Yachtmaster, and even more if it had the rhodium dial.

The annual calendar is intriguing, and makes sense if it didn't topple the DD as the "president" as the top dog.

[Psmith]

YM with Cerachrom insert would be nice.
Triplock for 216570 would be even nicer.

[Watchgeek5000]

40mm DJ

[Kimber007]

Put me down for one of these!

[Chadridv]

I'm not really a fan of anything rumored here. Can't imagine they're going to re-size the DJ41 yet again down to 40mm. DJ41 is brand new for 2016 and has perfect proportions IMO. Being a DD40 owner I know that case size would obviously work well for the DJ but I just don't see it happening with all the positive feedback from the DJ41 design.

I hope they don't make that ceramic bezel YM with the blue dial, it looks like a modification gone wrong. There's red, there's blue, there's black, white markers, the case is steel, it's just too busy.

No must buys here

Beautiful!!

Dropping the DJ(41) to 40 is not going to happen, not ONE YEAR after they release the model in the brand new movement, 3235. To think they would release a brand new movement for one year is ridiculous.

[enjoythemusic]

Annual calendar Day Date 40 to 42 mm size would be sweet!

[Pharaoh_83]

the YM in ceramic bezel with rubber band on SS will be a hot mover.

do you think they'll release a movement faster than 28,800 this year?

[sailtheeightseas]

I'll echo everyone else and say that I can't imagine the DJ41 going to 40 after only 1 year. The amount of retooling that would take would be incredible, to say nothing of the inventory management problems that AD's would face.

The TT Daytona seems like a logical step. I hope they don't do that to the YM - it looks so busy with all of those materials.

If they make an annual calendar DD, would they start releasing the Sky Dweller in SS??

[GB-man]

I have to be honest that report is rubbish in my opinion. Basically the same stuff he posted last year. I'd be shocked if anything there came true outside maybe the two tone Daytona.

all predictions are speculation albeit this guy seems have have educated predictions....he pretty much nailed basel 2016 bang on......theres speculation on the net that rolex passion report gets the 'inside' scoop...whether thats true or not......

i could actually see the 50th seadweller being exactly as speculated and most definitly the Dssd-B being discontinued in the not so distant future....

the TT daytonas are no brainers.....

i love the basel speculation....always starts hard after christmas

but he also predicted a bunch of stuff before that which was totally incorrect, like a Blueberry GMT etc.

The 3235 movement was actually introduced in 2015 with the Pearlmaster which is 39mm. There is no reason why they can't put that movement in a 40mm Datejust.

I understand but I'm pretty sure he predicted that SS YM last year and also the deep blue thing seems to be an annual prediction. Wasn't the two tone ceramic Daytona predicted by him a few years ago?

I don't believe the dssd blue will get discontinued and I don't believe the SDc will get blue text to mark the anniversary. He says blue is the new color for anniversary models....since when?

[kneedeep]

Lukewarm on the SD 50th anniversary blue prediction, red much better IMO.

[ferrissteve11]

If the SD gets red lettering I'm in trouble...well my wallet is anyway.
