What a lie, they could not keep up with demand. Also, they have never launched so many in demand models at once, Rolex likes to slow play releases.

I think daytona with silver dial will be the most wanted watch on earth.

Well if they did a meteorite dial maybe something unusual is possible. Would make more sense on an Exp2 than Exp1, better to keep the latter more original

I get your point and you're right about keeping it original. At the same time, I'm a huge 5-digit Exp II fan and am hoping that they're somewhat bringing the old flavor back. So meteorite Exp II is a little bit of a stretch for me, maybe snowflake Exp II

Ground Dweller. Nice.

Although that’s what the Exp2 is for me.

True. I already pre-ordered all of them and got a 10% discount and no tax. They made me bundle with white and black dial current Daytonas though. Yuck.

My sales associate who Ive been in touch with last week let the know that the only new releases are a titanium, brown dialed, shelter in place day counting subdial with a yellow day pointer. Appropriately named the HouseDweller. Coming tomorrow. Clymer and John Mayer making the hype video now for the all yellow gold edition which they'll call a sleeper. You heard it here first.

Yes but I thought I would leave that out. Samples were given to all after the factory tour. I got the new titanium sub corona 2020 limited edition!

Nice! HouseDweller I was kinda thinking along similar lines. Perpetual Calendar Exp II, maybe with an integrated Covid test (like that Breitling distress beacon).

I'm slightly concerned about the number of people who reply to this post, thinking OP is serious.

Otherwise, liking this release. Will phone my AD to put me on the list, see you in 2025 for incoming post.

Yep, 5 digit size hits the sweet spot I think, current gen a little big for my preference, but is fine for others. I was surprised by meteorite dial when it came out and still haven’t come to terms with it, some sort of snowflake ❄️ would be in keeping with its polar nickname too.

I’m still waiting for my AD to confirm the OP’s new models. He thinks if true will
Not be available until 2021, as the coronavirus sets the timetable not any one person (even the President),
but he will check and get back to me as his phone is ringing off the hook inquiring the same questions.
I read on another forum the HouseDweller (as referred above) will
also be offered with a green ‘John Mayer’ dial.

Joke would've been more subtle, but you overplayed it a bit with this.

Mods should close threads like this. Don’t make clickbait crap. Nobody is laughing at a postponed release.

Meteorite Exp II in the old case size would be... well, I'd likely do whatever it took to get one. Sell house? A car?
