And so it begins - Rolex predictions for Baselworld 2018

[verv]

I WANT them to discontinue the red writing and leave the sd50 as a year long anniversary edition to be replaced with a white text sd.
But they won't. They'll squeeze it for years like the LV.

[Andbikes]

I'd like to see an Explorer ll with a ceramic bezel and a GMT II with an all brushed finished bracelet, only the former might happen.

Green crystal, PCLs and I think the Airking has the simpler clasp without Easylink.

The Air King has the EZ link:

Polishing and brushing is the same amount of effort/time. The only difference is the medium.

The green crystal - OK.

Wasn't sure about the EZ link.. just shows the Milgauss struggles to justify its price compared to the Air King. Hence I think its days are numbered, or perhaps it'll be revamped in some way.

One year of the red text would be nice.

Great for those that already own one.

Not likely though, making limited editions is more Omegas bag.

[Scepticalist]

A ceramic bezel Explorer II would be interesting. A personal wish would be a thinner bezel Daytona - would make it a little larger "on the wrist" without actually having to increase size.

Daytona feels small these days on the wrist I would like 42mm date version but the short supply of steel Rolexs in UK

Would just be another pointless list

Ah for a Rolex with an large sapphire rim to rim exhibition back with a decorated movement and a coloured oscillating weight that is in kermit green or hulk or the pepsi type colours.

Unless there is one like this already.

[Der Amf]

Which has there been more of, wondering what Rolex are going to release, or wondering what Rolex are going to discontinue? In a way, there's more anticipation for the latter - a new model takes months to arrive, but a discontinuation is immediate, and affects prices immediately....

I presume you’ve got one then?

From TRF

I can’t see anything.

[Der Amf]

If a SS Pepsi GMT were released, how long before the price of one LNIB from a dealer rose to meet the price of a used WG one?

[Belligero]

Nobody sees a 32-series movement coming in today's GMT announcement?

[David_D]

Underwhelming from Rolex there, IMHO!

Thankfully nothing there that I will be worried about not being able to either afford or get hold of!!

[IdiotAbroad]

It's out!

Called it. :)

Buyers of the white gold GMT will be happy.

And how!

Called my AD.....!!! rofl

[Hasan]

Wow.....that is lovely

[helidoc]

Pepsi: excellent
Slightly slimmer lugs?
Jubilee :(

I'm sure the list will be measured in years

[welshlad]

Looks fantastic! I'm surprised that they've actually gone and made one of these, after all this time. But it looks great.

[Hooshabak]

New deepsea as well

[Hammond]

Does slimmer lugs mean a redesigned Submariner case also?

[kultschar]

Deepsea has broader bracelet - that will be welcomed as it had a fair few of critics of that in the past

Any RRP on Pepsi yet?

[smalltime]

Are the lugs definitely slimmer? It doesn't say so in the description.. it says redesigned lugs and sides in the date just and deep sea description??

[Belligero]

Finally, a no-excuses modern GMT — it even has the new movement, no less.

And it's surprising what a difference that the red 24-hour hand makes.

[OliverCD]

£6800. Think it was mentioned above.

£6,800 in the UK

There's also now a steel and everose bi metal with brown and black bezel for £10,350, and


18k everose with brown and black bezel for £26,950

[OliverCD]

Copy Cats....

https://www.tudorwatch.com/watches/n.../m79830rb-0001

A fair wedge cheaper, by the tune of £4K

[waser]

Wow! Surprised they actually went and released this in the end. But I’m not digging the jubilee bracelet at all. Doesn’t fit the modern case shape and looks out of place to me. I wonder if there will be an oyster option?

To save you waiting for the very slow Tudor site....

[iiro]

Additonal crown between 'swiss' and 'made'

[JP28]

Exactly what I was thinking.
Pepsi bezel looks to be a ‘better’ blue as well.

[stefaulkner]

So, from what I can make out, the Deepsea just has a new movement and is now the 126660?

[Croftrock]

Fraser Hart in Kingston just quoted me 5 years wait for the Pepsi.

Id say that most of the ADs have closed their books already from the 3 ive just spoken to!!!

[33JS]

..and the price of orignal Deep Sea's collapses! Well, not quite, but the premiums will drop now.

[Seamaster73]

£6,800

Cheap!

[MarkO]

Interesting that Hulk and BLNR are still both on the website

I was told by an AD that they have lists for 'anything new' at Basel, which closed ages ago (plus its only for people who buy regularly).

Re-designed case, lugs and bracelet.

Bring it on! I'd love to pick up a bargain original DSSD whilst the hypebeasts scramble for the new one.
