Highly doubt we are getting that, as the 116503 is pretty much a brand new model. How about a ceramic bezel on 18k models w/bracelet!

Let's hear some serious Baselworld 2019 Rolex predictions

Basel 2019 releases available in store for viewing/purchase by 2029 but by then I will want something else anyway so who cares

I think we’ll see the Bottom-Dweller. Just like any other diver but specifically designed to be flipped for huge profit and unavailable to
most who spend time desperately scrabbling around in the silt for it.

Would a blue bezel/black dial Sub be more popular than the BLNR long term?

Just curious, but why would Rolex put a coke bezel on Jubilee? The whole point on the pepsi was because the WG version had an Oyster.

Any one of those pieces would probably be in hot demand with long wait lists!

Totally agree... and why would Rolex repeat the same trick year after year? Wouldn’t be no surprise anymore...

Plus, there's no leftover Coke bezels from a WG watch to use up until they start making the ones that have the correct colors.

How about a Milgauss Date? Might be cool.

Would love to see a new take on the Milgauss. I thought the 6541 on their Insta page is a good sign their head is in the right spot.

I am really liking these Sub rumors. Alternatively, a new Coke would bore me tears.

New Red Submariner

Look at the hype the Tudor 2019 video got, with a glimpse of the prototype Sub from the 80s with a red bezel, how about Rolex testing reactions, because they are going to release a new sub with red submariner text on the dial, but they don’t stop there and throw a dark red ceramic bezel into the mix as well?

Just a thought any photo shop experts out there that can put this together?

Regards

Sean

It appears they've stopped posting Milguass pics and have moved on to the DJ. If you go back through their postings, you'll see the typical pattern is for them to focus on a given model for a few weeks, and then move on to another one. In January 2017, they were posting nonstop about the GMT. A lot of people thought it was a clue that a new GMT would be coming out. Then Basel rolled around, and nothing happened to the GMT. In fact, in the months leading up to any Basel, there are generally no clues dropped on Instagram about the watches that might hit, unless they are officially "teasing."

Ironically, it's completely doable right now, if you could lay your hands on the necessary part, and own a black SubC Date. Xelor, just out of curiosity, how did you get your hands on the bezel, and who switched it out for you?

The new 116610LNR
Updated movement
SUBMARINER in red text

As a fan of the red 1680 I'd love to see this. It would be a subtle but big change.

I say given the GMT BLNR, white gold Pepsi and standard GMT Master are still running on the old movement.. discontinue the white gold Pepsi, offer the Steel version in Oyster bracelet and release the Coke along with it.

I don't think the Batman would go away.. just get an updated movement. As for the Blue Bezel Sub.. that would be something.. I would have to buy one and just have two Subs for that reason.

Besides that point. The watch looks so much better on a Jubilee, in my opinion. I bet a significant percentage of the great demand for the "Pepsi", has to do with the bracelet selection.

I bet the wait lists would be exactly the same with an oyster bracelet. Personally I would have preferred oyster and was one reason i passed on the SS BLRO.

While I love dates, not sure it would work on this model as it would throw off the classic 369 Layout .

Agree with getting rid of the wg Pepsi and leaving the ss Pepsi with oyster bracelet. That would conclude one of the most confusing series of releases for Rolex that I know of. Unless next year they discontinue the ss model and release a platinum Pepsi on oyster.

I can’t imagine a blue bezel sub being released, but I like the idea though.
