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.

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 demonstrating that I am WRONG.

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 some of its former glories. Is this the year it does so? 

And the bigger, the crown, the better!

But I doubt Rolex will do so.Rol ex is ahead, not behind, and for that purpose, Tudor is here.

Good, bad? That is the eternal question.

Best,

Nicolas.

.....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 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 for that...

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 collection.

Cheers, Mark

... 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 and Explorer dial.
And not larger than 40 mm case diameter please!  That would fill my dreams of a modern Rolex I would love to buy and own!!

Just dreaming of course!!

Very cordially, Abel.

A rose gold DeepSea with a blue dial and matching blue rubber band or yellow gold black dial

Much prefer your iterations than the current line up. Good stuff! What a fun thread
