Did you forget about the Explorer birthday?
Hello gentlemen! I just saw this video on YouTube and thought it could feed another prediction/discussion thread about what could be announced in 2023.
It seems that the Explorer will celebrate its 70's, and this amount of snow in the video makes me think about how great it would be with a white dial . How do you guys feel about it? |

I have not forgotten, and would also love to a see a white dial version like the old albinos. If matte white (don't want the porcelain white the Daytona uses) and in 36mm, I'd be very tempted by that. Bonus points if they use yellow gold hands and indices to give it a warm vintage glow. I also would not be surprised if Rolex did an all gold version, which would look great.

I think there is room for the 39mm case to be back this year, although I agree on a 36mm white dial. This current marketing ad is definitely there for something. Lots of white and orange by the way..

Be cool if they did a back-to-basics heritage model with the original straight endlinks.
