New Release
Last year saw the release of a number of novelties. What can we expect for this year? Miranda posted this teaser of a possible GMT variation. Is this possible? Yes, of course....but is it likely that Rolex would release this variant so quickly after releasing the black/blue bezel introduced last yea
I would love to see a new variation of the GMT Master insert. As well as a new variation of the Daytona introduced last year. But I would even prefer to see something really new from Rolex.

Would Rolex see that as a step back? Possibly. For a company that prides itself on moving forward with more and more patents aimed at cementing its core competence.... then yes, maybe a re-edition goes against that tide...
From time to time, they refer to their past, such as the latest Explorer II, which is a blend of different styles from the past. Most of the time, they take their classic models, and they give them some technical and aesthetical évolutions: The GMT Master, Daytona, and Sea Dweller are in this vein. And sometimes, they create something new: The Yachtmaster in 1992, the Sky Dweller a few years ago. But I didn't see, till now, some clear glimpse to their past. It seems they let the place to Tudor f
