Well lots of speculations but I don't think anyone has seen a credible source for this yet (at least I haven't for sure), so I'm going to continue watching to see if this is true.

In our new world of doom and gloom, something to look forward to. Hope they do release their new models...

By online releases, does that just mean an online introduction to the new models that will be in stores, or does it mean that they can be purchased online?

Nike is still releasing new limited releases through their app, every other business is adjusting their business models to survive, restaurants are implementing non contact delivery and pickup, same with car dealerships, etc. Behind the luxury label, there are numerous ordinary people, they shouldn't just stop doing business, they should adjust how they do business. |

When they’re possibly discontinuing model (Sub) and replacing with a new one (and would have been planned out years in advance) you have exactly suggested they should stop producing.

Given that all ADs are closed and Rolex has temporarily ceased production, it seems pointless to speculate on what may or not be realeased on 29th April. Even if they do release new models, the supply of them will be practically non existent and there will be nowhere to buy them.

Really? Show me. Show me exactly where in my post there is any suggestion of halting production.

IMHO it makes sense to me for them to do some sort of low level launch.
Will build hype on the new releases for when people can actually go out and buy them. |

Most things we in the affluent world possess are luxury baubles. They only seem essential because we want them and/or they make our lives more convenient. What can and can't be launched, sold, bought, traded during a pandemic? Any who personally object to the conduct of an organisation that sells things can boycott them. Everyone else won't mind in the least. Not that it's any of their business. |

Last word from my AD (from a Rolex rep visit recently) was the new 70 hour power reserve movement for the sub. I think Rolex is planning a lot of things with the new movement and I think I heard a new manufacturing plant to increase movement output.

I am sure the AD isn’t lying. And it would make sense that some new releases are introduced. Yes we have a pandemic but it’s temporary and gotta stay engaged with customers and keep fresh mindshare. I am going to wait to see what happens and if nothing new comes out, or nothing interesting at least, I’ll go ahead and pick up a Pelagos. As far as color, no idea!

At this rate, It might take years before they hit the ADs though. Maybe Rolex should have focused on producing the models they already have manufactured before adding more unattainable models mostly grey dealers will obtain and price over MSRP.

There have been moves in other luxury segments to move UP product launches. New products are one of the few ways to drive engagement and consumer excitement in a time when some traditional forms of marketing and branding are much less effective. You don't want your market to forget about you.
Of course, those moves are probably at least partially to drive online sales (which Rolex likely won't do), and no one is going to forget about Rolex any time soon. But it shows that at least some luxury brands aren't too worried about being perceived as tone-deaf. These companies exist, so of course they'll do what they can to remain in the minds of consumers. Rolex is a master of advertising and branding. I'm not too concerned that their efforts will be in poor taste. I think they'll get it right. |

I'm interested in seeing if this true. I've heard the same thing in my circles.
