It only works in tandem with the belt buckle.

Just put on a belt buckle: it works! Larry Gatlin and a fat bearded dude just turned up, in neon jackets.

We've pushed our jacket sleeves up to the elbow to show off our pepsi GMT's (16710's obviously), and we are now off to a disco to pick up some trim. Whatever that is.

The best thing Rolex could do for Oysterflex lovers wouldn’t require a new model release. It would be a simple policy change - allow ADs to sell OF’s for any exiting model where fitment matches the required lughole alignment.

So owners of DJ, DD, YM, GMT, SD, Milgauss, Expl. II, Sub, etc. -in any metal- could live life comfortably. That would be bad news for Rubber B and any other similar strap makers - but it would be a great option for existing owners.

DD or DJ on OysterFlex? I guess options are good, but that isn't one I'd ever consider exercising (if I had a DD).

Agree here too. Just suggesting they should let the owner choose to add it no matter the model. As long as it physically fits let the owner decide.

In addition to the belt buckle you need a pair of Cyclops sunglasses. The one's Arnold wore in the original Terminator. Your status of "extraordinary" will be undeniable and obvious to all.

I predict one SS model that everybody will want but nobody can buy.
And more TT and PM models everybody will want but few can buy.

What’s the point of all the avertising and R&D, when true collectors can’t get their hands on all the newly release models. Not looking forward to Basel at all, not anymore

I think the best thing they could do is announce no new models, but that production of SS pieces is increasing to meet demand...

Although SS coke GMT would be nice too

More Everose TT's as they know they can sell more Everose these days than normal gold.

BLNR on a Jubilee

Some further Daytona Ceramic Variation, maybe TT Ceramic plus a possible update of all Daytona's with Ceramic on PMs.

A new complication perhaps a Split second or maybe a Perpetual Calendar?

The absolute best Basel announcement would not be a new watch, or an updated watch, but rather an increase in production. Crank that sh!t up, Rolex!!

Of course there will be a SS model that will be unobtainable.

Followed by some pretty cool PM models and hopefully some more RG TT’s.
