Rolex Basel 2018

[skirsch]

I know we just got done with the waiting and the release of the new models for 2017. For those of you that closely look at the cycles of each model, where do you think Rolex will go next year and what will be introduced? My initial thought would be the Explorer ll but I am far from an expert. Thanks for your thoughts. Stephen

As per every year from various "sources", a SS Coke GMT is definitely coming next Basel...

Would a new SS Coke cause 16710 prices to decrease back to the more reasonable prices of several years ago?

This one keeps cropping up and would be the only one I would be interested in getting.

That is of course unless some fantastic new model appears that no one has thought of. Lol

While I'm not trying to hijack the OPs thread, I still believe without embracing the world of online social media ruled by the Digital Generation ,Rolex risks being shut out of conversations about their products, missing out on opportunities to learn about their customer preferences.

Seems to me lots of folks here really love speculating about future Rolex watches.Hey !That's Cool.No Worries. We really shouldnt be discussing about the state of affairs of the Swiss Watch Industry over the weekends anyway...

I'm the 0ddball Weirdo around here and while I'm still trying to digest this year's Rolex and Omega's Baselworld offerings,my wish is for Rolex to start a revolutionary "restrained" online boutique just before Baselworld 2018....

I don't see the EXP2, as it was just re-designed in 2012 or so...but, you never know.

Nothing new there then basically thats all they have done for the past 20 odd years, and many of the so called new 2017 models are in the real world just cosmetically changed old ones.

There doesn't seem to be as much room for innovation for Rolex as there was in the first half century of their existence, but I do believe that the YMII and the Sky Dweller are two innovative watches that have emerged in the last twenty years.

In my judgement, the YMII has limited appeal, unless you're super rich and you happen to race yachts and the Sky Dweller doesn't offer much to me that the GMTII doesn't offer in the practical sense.

Still, these watches have movements that are not duplicated by anyone else in terms using the bezel as a means of setting the watch.

I think that the Sky Dweller fills that bill for Rolex, even though some believe that the annual calendar complication could be improved.

I consider the Air King to be another riff on the Milgauss theme, although I may be missing something.

Hoping for (but most likely not happening) a Sub with the new movement and more tapered lugs/bracelet

Have to agree but its very doubtful if anyone would use the YM11 for professional racing they would use a electronic device. As for the Skydweller great totally new movement but like you say any GMT type watch could do the same.But they have at last started to upgrade the 3 series movements after almost 30 years of use that's a plus.

the ym ii is good for sailboat racing because people sail across the starting line. so it is imperative to cross as close as possible to the start but not before. therefore i am not sure an electronic device would be more beneficial wxcept perhaps for alarm as in the time frame the mechanical may be as accurate.

most sailboat racers are not pros just as most people who play tennis are not pros.
