A 46mm SD51, that will see die hard Rolex traditionalists throwing themselves from their office windows, as if it was the Wall Street crash all over again.
In all seriousness I wish for (rather than predict) the SS Coke GMT. |

More upsizing would be logical, continuing what they've been doing over the past decade.

Nothing new there then basically thats all they have done for the past 20 odd years, and many of the so called new 2017 models are in the real world just cosmetically changed old ones.

In my judgement, the YMII has limited appeal, unless you're super rich and you happen to race yachts and the Sky Dweller doesn't offer much to me that the GMTII doesn't offer in the practical sense. Still, these watches have movements that are not duplicated by anyone else in terms using the bezel as a means of setting the watch. I think that the Sky Dweller fills that bill for Rolex, even though some believe that the annual calendar complication could be improved. I consider the Air King to be another riff on the Milgauss theme, although I may be missing something.

Hoping for (but most likely not happening) a Sub with the new movement and more tapered lugs/bracelet

For sure new DJ 41 models. Most likely SS black with fluted bezel + new movement and some (one?) with roman numerals (either TT or SS with white fluted bezel).
I'm sure they won't touch the sub next year as they will modify the GMT II first (the sub family is a better selling model). |

It's anyone's guess. Who knows what 2018 will bring. Did anyone predict the SS Sky Dweller in 2017? Or for that matter, the SS BLNR in 2013? Part of the excitement...

How about a green and yellow GMT for a change, we could call it the John Deere... wouldn't even be that controversial of a nickname I have a feeling.

What about Rolex adding a GMT function to a YM2 variation for a new reference?
Think about it, it's a watch that is larger. As a larger watch that doesn't sell as well as some other professional models, what do you do to make it sell better? Add more complications that are useful in an everyday piece. Make it more unique and more practical at the same time. A GMT or Annual Calendar complication IMO would be ideal for the model. The regatta chrono should stay and is absolutely unique with the bezel programming, but adding a more useable function could help it move off display shelves much quicker. |

How about a reintroduction of the SS Daytona with Cerachrom Bezel originally shown at Basel 2016.
