Happy New Year and best wishes for your Basel wishes...

Can’t say which prior “PM-only” model will get dressed in SS, but maybe the DD?

I can't imagine that Basel will have anything of interest for me.

Let's arrange a group package through a travel agent and attend in person as a humongous group of TRF members :-) . I'll bet we might even be invited for coffee with the Rolex team there.

My call is they discontinue the Explorer and reintroduce the Turn-o-Graph 41mm.

Me wonders if a new GMT black red in SS is on the horizon. Surely they have to bring it back in PM or SS.

There will no doubt be movement upgrades as well.

I'm guessing expansion of their new mouvement in other product lines.
Some more oysterflex/ceramic bezel combos?
A new Explorer II? A new Yachtmaster?
Finally a SS Coke GMT?

No clue, I hope they will surpise us with something unexpected! Who knows for now, only in Geneva they know for real.

A Crown Clasp closure on the Jubilee Datejust 41s please.

I don’t understand why you wouldn’t offer that option. The Oyster Clasp on the Jubilee Bracelet just doesn’t look as aesthetically pleasing.
