Rolex Basel 2014 - what can we expect?
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 year? My guess is no.
Any thoughts or ideas on what may be in the pipeline? Steel Daytona, maybe? Or, how about something radical....like a Submariner tribute? Now that would be answering many critics.
A green/black ceramic on the GMT has also been widely touted. Again, I am guessing that this will not happen....as attractive as that looks!

This is a Tradition for Rolex to keep the new collection as a best kept secret.
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. Even if I expect more from Tudor. But I would be delighted to see...
Rolex vrs Tudor
Tudor has led the way in a very important area. Namely, it has shown Rolex that it can create a great modern stable of watches by paying tribute to the historical icons of its past. Year after year, we hear calls for Rolex to make a dedicated tribute to s...
A Re Edtion? Yes, but a no crownguard Sub, then.
And the bigger, the crown, the better! ;) But I doubt Rolex will do ex is ahead, not behind, and for that purpose, Tudor is here. Good, bad? That is the eternal question. Best, Nicolas.
That may be so....
. ....however, it would be my guess that if Rolex did offer a Submariner re-edition.....goodness....a 5508 re-edition or yes, why not...a 5510 BC..... how popular would that be? Would Rolex see that as a step back? Possibly. For a company that prides itse...
Rolex watches are in perpetual evolution. That is how I see the modern production.
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...

....and my guess is so would a lot of people on this forum
I like this Coke GMT a lot but with a black date please
Otherwise, I like the white Rolex dials with black markings (like the last Explorer). Thus I would like to see such a nice white dial on a Sub with a white insert bezel (may it be a GMT or a Sub date) I'm not waiting for something special from the Daytona...
To be honest, I expect little excitement every year from Rolex but...
... I can answer you Joe with what I would love to see and what I´m waiting from Rolex since long ago: Rolex following same path as Tudor with his Black Bay, presenting a new "homage" "recreation" or watever the name, of a non guards Submariner, big crown...
My vision...
A rose gold DeepSea with a blue dial and matching blue rubber band or yellow gold black dial and matching black band. This is something has never done with the SeaDweller and a precious metal version would be a welcome site, on my wrist anyway! Jeff
Wow......Baron those are very attractive options to the GMT
Much prefer your iterations than the current line up. Good stuff! What a fun thread
