Agree, I don't think anyone in the team meeting ever utter words of 'new watch' in Rolex. Just tweaking here and there has been their 'mantra' for 30-40 yrs now and once in few decades throw in a new watch as bonus!

Those are all leaks and they could be true or wrong. The picture quality is not a concern , this is similar to Black Friday leaks few years back when they snap a pic of a paper ad.
Is he right or wrong, I don’t think it really matter. I heard the BLNR to be discontinued on the forum and from an AD. And may be the AD learned about it from this forum,
Whatever it is, is not like we will be lining up to get the watch we want tomorrow. It is going to take months if not years to get one, few will be the exception and good for them.
Let’s hope for a blue sub SS

That Tudor 'Sub' design is like a kick in the gonads.

I really would not get too worked up about most of these, including the Rolex and Tudor sub. My guess, one or two of the more predictable Tudors are real, the rest are BS, including the sub and all of the Rolex watches.

Indeed.

A TT Sea Dweller?

Talk about a solution in search of a problem.

If the new BLNR has a new reference number, technically the 116710BLNR was discontinued. I'm not sure why this is hard to grasp for some people. We use the term discontinue all of the time when we relaunch a product with changes that supersede the old SKU.

No, if true, that’s a production model of a Navy submariner prototype that Tudor has had for a while now. So definitely a men’s model.

About the TT Sea Dweller... He writes "The Steel & Gold Sea Dweller nobody saw coming.."

Yeah, because nobody is going to want this.

The trend in the industry is away from bigger watches. A larger YM and this TT behemoth? Weird stuff indeed.

Eh, that's a stretch. What he did (if intentional) is knowingly misleading and market manipulation.

If I remember correctly, Tudor dropped their watches via social media a day early last year, if that is the same this year we should see some sign of this being good or bad intel. Just my 2 cents.

That is hardly what he was insinuating months back. He said the BLNR was gone and would be replaced by a blueberry or coke. Trying to rewrite history on what is publicly available on the internet is never wise, although some very powerful people in this world try to do so on a daily basis...

If these are true, the only thing I even remotely like is the jubilee GMT. It would be funny if this was a prank.

Maybe these are all real and it’s just Rolex’s way of cooling the market off a bit so they can get caught back up.

He's technically just reporting a rumor. If there's a source within Rolex that leaks that a model has been discontinued, and he reports it, how is he to blame? Technically they did discontinue the model and have replaced it with a new reference number. I don't see the logic in saying that there was anything misleading or manipulative.
