It's all a guess. I'm waiting for next week to see. Not that I can afford anything at this point anyway...

I am with you Gus. Everything you mentioned except the bigger than 40mm part.....I like it at that size. But bring on lug holes and matte dial!

If it happens and looks like the pics here, will be hard for me to resist.

Hoping for a new Pepsi gmt, but I think it would be a poor business decision for Rolex to release a new gmt before they can meet the demand on the BLNR. I have BLNR, but given the choice the Pepsi bezel would be a no brainier.

Both would be badass but the Sea Dweller would just be amazing

A Pepsi GMT would be mighty tempting, but in 18k gold, I'm afraid I'd just have to wait it out until a steel version shows up, if I live that long.

Check out the flash teaser:

It looks like the mother ship or something.

The SD would be sweet but I'm sure the price would astonish.

OK, I'll play:

* name: Oyster Perpetual Moon Dweller;
* annual calendar based on the Sky Dweller caliber and case;
* moonphase indicator replacing the 24-hour subdial of the SkyD;
* day-night indicator of some sort;
* subdial perimeter divided in 7 days, pointed by a small hand;
* available only in RG with bracelet of leather strap.

^Agree. But I think they will revive the Space-Dweller name they once used.

And this isn't another teaser. Thread fail.....very misleading.
It's the same teaser that was just release with their crappy speculation thrown in to make it seem more viable.

I'm with the sea dweller crowd. Although the mother ship thing seems to point to the Rolex Navitimer.......
