nope..not a chance. Just get on the list and wait. If I paid over msrp, every time I looked at the time, I would be annoyed.

i am wondering, is it sure that this will actually happen or is it just a HOAX? fake news?

[meitsjustme]

second source (in chinese) with better photos seems to confirm RPR:

(apologies for the link above long time lurker first post)

Something tells me these are real. I for one actually like the TT Sea-Dweller. To be quite honest, I'll probably get one if it's real.

[crazymcmichael]

ihope this is not real as non of this watches is actually nice or considered a upgrade :/ fugly as hell wg Pepsi looks like a snowflake in its cycle/period and that seadweller in two tone isn't anything interessing either the YM looks like a GMT master what is the point of this news?

I was just saying the same thing on CWC Forum! I’m on the verge of divesting all my current Rolex watch lineup and getting classic black SubC Date, which goes back to the grains of being purist.

Unf*ck myself from all this hype of LV, Pepsi, new movement, old movement, BLNR (oh BLNR on jubilee), etc etc etc... and just enjoy my 1 Rolex in my collection, which will be timeless.

The reality is (and I’ve come to terms with) we won’t be satisfied. Many who had the BLNR flipped for the Pepsi. I am sure many who have the Pepsi are contemplating the BLNR on jubilee. I am one of them now wanting to flip my BLNR for the jubilee version.

So instead, sell all Rolex watches, get that back SubC date and maybe venture into a 42mm PAM and a Santos!

Many calling RPR a tard, but he’s the trend setter not us. We are a reaction and he’s probably sitting there reading our threads and having a laugh!

Vent over!

Did they forget what made them popular again? It was the return to more classic and subtle designs that worked as a cheaper alternative to Rolex, as it were in the old days.

The gaudy designs with no subtlety was the main reason they were irrelevant for so many years.

Honestly, how damn hard is it to give the fans the classic designs they want? It seems most watch companies are run by freaking boomers or cringey hipsters that like words like "recognizzzableuh" or "code".

Make me the CEO of Rolex SA, and next year you'll get a new Submariner with a slightly thinner case and a matte ceramic insert, a Tudor Submariner with an aluminium insert, a new Explorer 1 in 36mm and a new Explorer 2 in 39mm building on the 1655 reference, but with a subtle maxi-dial. Oh, and a BB58 pepsi-GMT and a new OP36 with the same hour marker layout as the original Oyster Perpetual that was used in 1953 to climb Everest.

But first, I'd start working on a promo-video where we destroy whatever the heck this crap is going to be called, including all of its design blueprints, shot with a Red Epic Dragon and Michael Bay in the directors chair.

In a perfect world...

Would crave Explorers to return to their original sizes....the current 39mm and 42mm iterations are too big for me.

How is guessing every possible option and being wrong the majority of the time trend setting?

He’s putting his neck out right or wrong! I’m not defending him at all. My comment about trend setting was directional only that he started something and we react. He doesn’t have to be right and surely, throw enough BS out there something bound to stick.

But I think you missed the point of my comment!

But wait, where is the fluted bezel model from this teaser?

Something about that jubilee batman looks off to me. Why is part of the mercedes hour hand cut off at the bottom?

The Day-Date 36 is due for the update. It has not yet received an updated movement like the 40mm did. I assume the flutes are from that.

Looks like the photos were taken from a book or screen though. I don't think Rolex would screw up lighting in their photos like that.

Or a return of the full gold Datejust.

What time are (Rolex) announcements again?

[srleadjb]

Seriously, the bottom portion of the BLNR Jubilee looks totally photoshopped. The whole photo is straight and square except the bottom which is twisted and not square.

I don't believe Rolex would publish a photo like this.

[RobearH]

Some solice if these leaked pics are true as my $$$ is safe from any unplanned expense!

[BobDyl]

Not sure I believe any of it. But if the Yacht Master is truly 42mm it is 2mm too large. Nearly a home run but effectively a miss.

[79280_116520]

Why are there so many forum members SPRUNG off RPR? The guy is an opportunist scammer like the guys peddling fake crypto.

Women gossip magazines have more entertaining stories than RPR.

He swore his life that certain models like the BLNR will be entirely discontinued, yet he's silent as sh*t right now. Just make sure nobody is drunk off PS' arrogance.

No official time. My guess is around 7am ET tomorrow.

Couldn't agree more!

Agree

[antbkny]

Oofff

[BobDyl]

And just to add, if the BLNR on jubilee instigates another 3 months of "the lugs are slimmer" threads, even though it's clear they are not, I'll jump off the roof!
