I bet you're right, but I bet it's just a way for Rolex to clearly identify the standard Datejust reference as a 36 and 41 mm watch and also the woman sizes.
Those off diameter sizes like 34mm or if the came out with something weird like a 37 or 39mm, these would be OP "Date" models. Just speculating out loud, as no one knows what logic Rolex uses.

Peter is correct.

There will be a teaser before the 1st Sept , I am sure it’s 24th or the 25th maybe I should pay more attention .

The teaser I see today it’s all black and it will take a bloody miracle to work out what’s on offer maybe I only see a glimpse but if this is what is coming out they may as well not bother .

Yes, that certainly could be. "Datejust" will just be 28, 31, 36, or 41.


Here is something odd about the website and the Date 34:

When you go to the Lady DJ section, you can configure a 28 model.

When you go to the DJ section, you can immediately go to and configure 31, 36, or 41. Not until you click on the "view all" button under the DJ section can you find a 34 Date and then configure it. Odd that its not displayed more prominently.

My guess new movement for the Sub, say good bye to the maxi case, and there may be blue in the color.

I agree. D-Blue.

Although I wonder too what the impact might be if Rolex discontinued the black 126660, and left only the D-Blue.

[jioannou]

i wonder.... If OP39 gets changed (dial and movement) and so old model discontinued, what will happen to price of black and white dial? they were produced for a little over 2 years in current configuration. they are in demand

They use logic?

Correct.

After reading some of the experiences from owners of that movement in their Datejusts below, it will be interesting to see if the Subs get the new movement and, if so, whether some of those same issues crop up in the new models.

Hopefully, if there is a real issue, Rolex has addressed it.

[Tanalasta]

Would be interesting if they tweak dial or other options ...

I'm sure many things in Rolex are about heritage, hence the odd 34 mm "Oyster Date" line. I'm even more certain much of their work is about balancing desirability among models and versions, so they won't work on improving already high-in-demand models, but they will push the sales on other models and offer surprising novelties, as PM models on Oysterflex.

[RolexSimon]

Just got my Hulk with the "old" movement to avoid having to rely on the new one. The extra power reserve means nothing to me as the watches are on the winders overnight when not worn.

[house5988]

Tune in for the new updates

Excited none the less

[Ihatecheese]

They will have a lot of slightly newer movements are different colour dials in the parts bin ready for the ravenous Rolex consumers!! ITS NEW! I NEED IT! 😄

[kwingy]

I love these kind of threads! Lets keep the speculation going!

[grimps]

You'd be better keeping an eye on their Instagram account for the teasers , they usually start to give small snippets around a week before release date.
I'm hoping for a blue dial steel Sub

Like most new product introduced there could be teething troubles this includes watch movements.Even the Rolex cal 3135 in its long life had a few problems over the years, so did the Rolex cal 3186.I am sure once Rolex has sorted out these few 32 series issues, it will be just as reliable as all the Rolex movements have been over the past 50 odd years.

So I can leave my new Sub sitting for almost 3 days and not wear it??? What a thrill.

It could be worth more or less next week depending on what they new with the new lineup

... and you will now be able to hear the rotor grinding like an old Valjoux movement...exciting

Lets not forget you still have a winding crown on all watches and thats for winding the watch.And today most crown related problems are down to the winding crown not being used enough.And without a shadow of doubt even with the extra power-reserve you can bet many will end up of one of those winding machine things.

Well yes you can sometimes feel the 7750 rotor wobble on the wrist but thats just part of the movement as it only winds in one direction.But still the Valjoux 7750 series is still one of the finest chronograph movements made today.And yes many on forum are complaining about the rotor noise on the 32 series movements,but suppose they have got to have something to moan about.

[ThatSubGuy]

A small independent AD near me (Europe) has no Rolex watches on Display for today, just a little sign "redecorating". Could be a sign that something is brewing for later today/tomorrow.

..for the record I love the 7750 rotor wobble

[PatrickGu]

I am actually looking to buy an Air King what do you think are the chances it will get updated? Or is it more likely to be discontinued?

[Andad]

More chance of it being disco’d than updated.

But they can drop the 3-6-9 for me if they want.

You won the bet at post 29.

If I got one and they updated the 3-6-9 Same as the latest version of the explorers I’ll be very sad haha. In my opinion the watch would be perfect if they had it!

[emersm]

I"m hoping the Explorer 1 gets updated
