Monochrome posted an article showing examples of their predictions for Basel. Some of them are real nice

Here’s the link
https://monochrome-watches.com/rolex...-watches-2019/

Photo summary

An homage to the original milgauss. Tbh, loses its quirkiness and charm in this design. But still beautiful like the classic

Sub with what looks like slimmer lugs, this one is probably one of the most speculated. I’ve grown to love the maxi case so this is meh IMO.

White dial explorer. Love this!

Sub with slimmer case and blue bezel.

Gold ceramic Kermit. This is pretty damn nice

Two tone everose sub with diamond PIP

Let’s hear everyone’s opinions!

I love my rose gold as a man, and am a little disappointed to see it so heavily associated with a such a (goofy) feminine watch (diamond pip - really?).

Edit for specificity. I know rose gold is used in a lot of women's watches but this is silly and a bit condescending perhaps.

There’s already a thread on exactly this

Who care's there will be more as Basel approaches. There was a Basel 2019 post the day after Basel 2018 started.

If we start deleting duplicate threads we can start with the shortage topic.

A sub with a blue bezel I will buy immediately at 2x RRP.

It would be very interesting if they decide to do some color work on the SubC (other than LV)

gfcp1230 · 13 February 2019, 12:51 PM

The Explorer l on my radar, I would take the suggested Milgauss in a heartbeat.

Locust · 13 February 2019, 01:36 PM

I would buy that milgauss

Yep.

Navarino · 13 February 2019, 02:25 PM

I may be in the minority here, but I think that YG "Kermit" looks stunning.

mickyd329 · 13 February 2019, 03:59 PM

If they announce the blue bezel Sub, I'm going to make sure I'm first on the list at my AD.

Strangely the blue and green bezel subs still have the supercase in those renderings

OP appears to have missed a few key details of the predictions. The TT and black SS Subs are 36mm "ladies" models with a slimmed down case. The blue and green bezel Subs are 3235-based upgrades of the 40mm supercase case, which Monochrome is predicting will not be changed.

Thanks for that

I would try to source a blue bezel insert and install it on my black sub date.

I like the TT rose gold black sub.

No worries. I just went back and read the Sub predictions again, and need to clarify a point. Monochrome offers somewhat contradictory ideas about how they think the full-size Sub will go. At first they say, "Knowing that this watch already incorporates most of the brand’s technologies...we don’t expect massive changes to the Submariner soon," while also acknowledging any update would incorporate the 3235. Just after that, they then say, "Maybe Rolex could get rid of the maxi case and offer something a bit slimmer, with more tapered lugs, like it did on the Datejust 41?"

Make of that mishmash what you will, but the renderings appear to my eyes to be of the supercase model. On the ladies version, they are explicit about redesigning the proportions of the case, which is apparent in the renderings.

RolexNinja7 · 13 February 2019, 07:14 PM

I'm calling my AD the moment the Blue Sub or even the Everose Sub comes out (if).

I passed on a LV because the green didn't speak to me...but the Blue sings to my soul

Geo444 · 13 February 2019, 08:33 PM

The white explorer is just classic looking.

I'd be interested in a full blue steel Sub (dial and bezel) as long as they get rid of the supercase

JacksonStone · 14 February 2019, 04:12 PM

Looks good. I take it that's a Smurf bezel on an 116610LN?
