Milguass is an abomination, the GMT 2 with red name and hands would be the only good thing there. I think this is the most realistic prediction. However, I don't think the name will be in red, just the hand.

You got that straight. The SD43 seems to have convinced him that the floodgates are open on red lines. I think it's the opposite: Rolex uses them so infrequently, its use on a model last year all but guarantees we won't see another one for quite a while.

Just a loosely related question.

What was the intended use of the Milgauss bezel like the one in the mockup (which is a reproduction of the one in the very early MG). with those 1-6 graduations ?

Agreed. It reminds me of the TAG Heuer Connected smart watch. It's a nice watch, but it's not a Rolex.

They basically take any sports model and add red text to it and call it a prediction

Add a zero to the end and they become ten-minute graduations.

That Milgauss looks a lot like the 6541. If it has a honeycomb dial, I'll take it.

RPR's predictions generate a lot of passionate opinions, fittingly enough. While a lot of those opinions can come off as harsh, they're directed at the predictions themselves. We know you didn't come up with them.

I'd seen that prior to here, eh. Nothing inspirational. The Coke is old news and has been on many peoples wish list for a while. The Daytona with ceramic bezel might cell some TTs.

RPR was a total bust this year. Didn't get one call right.
