The problem with this theory is Rolex already celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Submariner in 2003, and they did it with a Date model.

There were a lot of naysayers for the BLRO, myself included and they still created it. I think it's enough of a milestone, what they do with it is anyone's guess, maybe they'll do nothing. |

Would love to see a new 39mm Milgauss. Something that doesn’t look like a cartoon.

It would be interesting if they update the movements on Yachtmaster this year instead of Submariner.

Batman-new movement
Datejust 36-new movement for SS models Submariner-new movement What I wish for is a 38-39mm Datejust. Paired with the new 70hr power reserve caliber.....would be the perfect watch. Smoth bezel and osyster!

I predict that Basel will be as boring as its been over the past almost 20 years with no real new watches from Rolex, just cosmetically changed old ones.Sure they may introduce the 32 series movements into the current line up but nor a huge big deal there IMHO.As for the Milgauss ever since introduction way back in the 1950s have not been great sellers. You can count on one hand the real new models that Rolex have introduced over the past 40 plus years.Still Rolex only got to change a font or the screws with many of today's Rolex owners to proclaim a new model.

Anyway, I did not say nobody likes those crowns, I just said that I hated them and that this whole faux-vintage, retro trend is keeping me away from Tudor. And the fake rivets, and the aluminum insert, and the replica gilt dial. |

That’s fair. It also might be too close to the OP39 black dial. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Wait lists aside, typically how long after Basel will the new Rolex releases be available for purchase? Does Rolex start shipping right after Basel or not 7ntill months after?

OK You didn't hear it from me...
But, I am to understand by some muckety-mucks, you know top People in the Rolex Realm, that there will be something special this year at Basel!
You didn't hear it from me... no you didn't...

Just think of the 116619LB as a fully-loaded accord... it doesn't need gas and it will be worth more than $12,000 when you go to sell it! |

Rolex will make a Cerachrome fluted bezel in one of their models, such as chocolate fluted on RG Skydweller with chocolate dial.
