Hi friend
The GMT URL not being captured in the tool or the delay in indexing it could be to blame. However, it is likely that a new GMT is on the way based on the teaser. Future events are exciting!

OP, hopefully you will be kind enough to help out the board for the 2024 releases.

You did a fantastic job last year!

Here is the Rolex Sitemap -- the webpage that shows you all derivate subpages.

(Had to remove dots and slashes because I dont have enough post count yet)

www rolex com sitemap xml

You can go a step further and take a look at the US webpage:

www rolex com api sm en-us sitemap xml

and Ctrl-F for "new-watches" but nothing is populated for 2024. There are a few articles for 2024 but not many.

Please peruse the other country webpages to see if you can find anything!

Nice work. Also, Rolex dropped the ball last year by releasing Google ad campaign before the Watches and Wonders unveil. We were able to see the latest releases by just googling "Rolex" and see the sponsored content. One Rolex executive told me the ad agency had confused time zones.

Bump. One of the many reasons why I love this forum. I hope OP, or someone else comes through with an early indication of what’s to come.

I bet Rolex will be doing a better job of hiding info this year.

Good insight. Makes sense how that happened, but I don’t expect that mixup again this year.

Alright, everyone - I have been waiting to post anything until being relatively sure of the hints I have found, as the details seem to be much more well-hidden this time around. I'd love to flatter myself in saying maybe Rolex made some changes due in part to last year's findings, but I highly doubt it

You are spot on. The main reason I don't have as much as I did at this stage last year is that Rolex did actually make some changes to how they are indexing and hiding URLs. While last year I was pretty certain of my findings, this time around, I am much more skeptical. So much so, that I am holding off from even posting URLs for the time being.

That being said, here is what I have been able to find thus far (it isn't much):
  • There is a 'new' URL for the Explorer 40 (it is the same URL used for the new release last year). Perhaps this is a titanium version? Maybe a white dial? Or perhaps nothing at all, and just a dead URL from last year? Not certain of anything yet; need more evidence.
  • There is a 'new' URL for the Explorer II (this is also a recycled URL, so it is too early to say if this is a dead URL or actually a new release)

There are a few other URL's that are similar to the above, but I haven't included them because they are even more speculative - one for 'dynamic dials,' including a version for the Daytona (which could be signaling the return of the meteorite dial - or which could just be a dead URL from 2021). Curiously, I also found a 'new' URL for the Milgauss, which, same as the others, isn't a truly new URL and thus is not credible enough to warrant anything more than conjecture.

I have also noticed several URL's popping up as 404's/403's on a scan, but then properly rendering a day or two later. It also appears they have implemented a new type of proxy on the site that populates a page claiming they are 'working on the site' when in reality, they're blocking the user from accessing the site after multiple URL requests (has happened to me 4 times). It seems the devs at Rolex are doing a much better job at throwing up smoke signals this year.

Just as I did last year though, I will continue running crawls and digging up until the new models are released If/when I find more solid evidence, I will post actual URLs and accompanying predictions here. We will find out one way or another soon enough!

Last year it seems Rolex couldn’t disguise their code well enough to stop curious techs from peeking into the future.

Anyone with 2024 information of this type, please post it here.

Thanks

I was planning on it, but I saw that others had already commented on this one.

Since this was a light update anyway, I will start a new thread if I can find some more concrete details.
