I definitely see that with the sketch teaser. Also with the verbiage used in one of their teasers.

Philosophical question: does a quick strap system actually exist if it’s on a watch that no one will own?

The fluted bezel teaser is still my only hope that RPRs Rolex pics are fluff. Although I do think the Tudor ones are accurate.

New YM1 as predicted on this forum.
Batman on jubilee? Someone on this forum had a pepsi on jubilee and swapped it over to their Batman. I see Rolex has really squeezed the creative juices this year.
Two tone seadweller? What in the... Really? When is the full YG seadweller coming? Next year?

Total anticlimax.

I agree they are cosmetic changes. But for a modern rolex buyer this creates enough hype for the brand. It makes more business sense to spend marketing $ than R&D $ for Rolex.

Did pest control fumigate the Tudor building and forget to put up warning signs first or something?

I mean, if this actually exists, the guys must have been inhaling some real potent stuff over there.

This would be disappointing if this was it....would save me some money though...

I'll just stick with my BLNR on superjubilee and my more appropriately sized 40mm YM.

Then what do we make of the fluted bezel in the Rolex teaser? Or does that happen to be a model RPR hasn’t got the scoop on?

Some of these are probably fed leaks as it is too late for these to be predictions, that had to be weeks before to be worthwhile or useful. There will be new stuff revealed tomorrow, arguably these are the weirder/duller ones, maybe a red herring or two, so that tomorrow when they release their best ones, we all get a lift.

Are they ever accurate in their predictions? And actually, they are saying this is for sure the official rolex releases...

Funny so many are getting worked up over RPR’s “leaked” photos like they are legitimate. We’ll know for sure tomorrow. Everybody chill.

John, if you're on TRF then I would like to thank you for the genuine belly laugh.

I’d tend to believe this. Historically he has a decent track record.

Wouldn’t splurge on any of those but here is hoping that BLRO prices will drop a bit given the competition of a BLNR on a jubilee. Let’s see.

The significant thing is that the 42mm YM with thin lugs seems to hurt the argument that the sub/GMT with thicker lugs, supposedly to create the feel of a 42mm without changing the famed 40mm moniker, is going to get thinner lugs and increased in size. The SD43 and YM42 show if they go bigger they will stick to the thinner lug watches, it would be too much with the thicker lugs.
