Submariner to get the 3235 movement?

This I agree with.

Will they change the model number if it gets the new movement? If not, then most people won't know or care, and I suspect the AD's won't bother telling anyone which movement they get when they buy a sub...

It'd be a 126610

I wonder if the new movement for the Sub will come a year later than the Sub date?

Correct.

[nick800]

The question isn’t will they put the 3235 in a sub. The question really is, what aesthetic changes to the sub will announce the 3235 inclusion? The aesthetics is what will drive the hype. Not the movement.

Agreed. The extra power reserve is very practical and useful.

Because of people like you I have a pristine 996 I paid like 20K for. (Carrera 2, 6 speed, guard red) THANK YOU.

Short-term, probably lose a little value. Long term, it’ll increase. At least that has been the trend in the past in relation to the MSRP.

That's a good point

You might want to look at other brands or Rolex models because the super case is here to stay on the Sub/GMT line.

No worries, got some non supercase Rolex models.

Exactly this.

The “changes”they’ve made to the case / lugs on the 126710 GMT line are barely noticeable at least to my eye. It’s a different wearing watch to the 116710 but IMO that’s due to the end link/jubilee bracelet combo more than anything else.

I can’t imagine the changes they make to the new Submariner line will be much different than the current generation but who knows ... maybe Rolex will surprise us.

[Claven2]

My prediction is there will be a subtle change to what's printed on the dial to coincide with a new movement and that is about it. They will do something to make it easier for the rsc folks to ID what movement is inside to make service triage easier, but it won't be a big change. Just a small visual cue.

[RHIII]

I suspect there will be some “disappointed” folks come Basel when the Submariner gets no change or “update”.

Movement updates will happen eventually (agree likely PM - initially) I’m HIGHLY doubtful that we will see any case changes. This is why Rolex has various other options across other lines....Sea Dweller, YachtMaster etc.

To me, this is a DateJust year. 75 years old.

Let’s just all keep in mind. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with the current movement.

[danyvw]

Datejust had a change in 2016 with DJ41 replacing the DJII, adding the new 32xx movement at the same time.

[LandWatch]

I would never change or upgrade my submariner. I bought it new and have worn pretty much continuously for 6 years. The power reserve has never been an issue in that time because it’s never stopped.

So that pretty much solves the bugs issue. I guess that after 4 years they should have perfected that movement.

I doubt that the spare parts for the 3135 movement - in use since 1988 I presume - will be hard to find in the future, or are the experiences here different?

The 3235 has 90% new parts they claim, so they're not interchangeable for the most part.

[Rokoru]

The Yacht masters got the new 3235 movement whiteout being changed aesthetically.. We could also see just this update in the Submariner.

All Rolex watches have a little round thing called a crown, guess what it is designed to manually wind any watch when needed.

He just says he prefers it, it gives him convenience not to wind it, what's wrong with that?

Instead you gotta reply with some snarky sarcastic response.

And you are a mod - shame.

Does being a mod give you the feeling of power so you can rag on anybody giving perfectly decent comments on a forum?

Maybe the return of some limited production stone dials for the anniversary? That would be a cool dj move. Not holding my breath though.

[Claven2]

Oh, by the way, I went back and read the last 2 years of threads on this issue. Everyone swore rolex would change the sub movement. And then they didn't.

Too funny.

I read it differently than you, but perhaps that’s because I’ve come to know Peter’s sense of humor.

I think what he is saying is that the 31xx series movements are a proven workhorse movement and the extra power reserve (although nice for some) isn’t a big deal, when you can simply re-up the power with a simple wind.

I would rather not have to get it out of the safe on a weekend. Not really that complicated to understand.

But if it did stop you would still have to wind it thats all I meant, which is quite possible especially if had a less active day and power-reserve was depleted off wrist.

Why?

What is less desirable about the 3135 movement?

fair play, we're good. For me I would take a lug change on the sub way before a movement change. If it gets both then it it's a bonus.

Couldn’t disagree more. I love he heft and wrist presence. The 5 digit case feels dainty to me
