It does look like a lefthanded crown in the Rolex teaser.

I will revisit this on March 30 to see how correct OP was. But, the info so far looks promising.

?? Is this the new deep sea model about to make an appearance tomorrow? I would not doubt it. Crazy insane WR that no one needs lightened up by titanium. How thick…..21mm…25mm. Madness.

Well they’d be using the depth game if they did this … but I tend to agree. What’s the point anymore? The Challenger Deep is about as deep as it gets as far as we know

Full titanium is too soft for those depths unless they've engineered some new technologies.
I think Rolex has made it's mark with the Deepsea and I think as far as depths and heights, it's accomplished all that's reasonable. Omega is into fads and dumping out watches without serious thought for longevity. Next year I'm sure they'll redesign each one and release no less than five LEs.....meanwhile just about anyone can agree the original Planet Ocean was the best version to date. That's why Rolex doesn't mess with success or funky trends.

…I’m bumping this as the OP predicted correctly the destro GMT months ahead of the actual launch.

Now the IDGuy on YouTube has made a video about a possible Deepsea Challenger.

Will the OP be in two for two?

I hope this isn't true.

However, a titanium Yachtmaster like the prototype they made for one of the America's Cup sailing captains would be a winner.

OP has credibility though.. he predicted the LHD GMT ll a month before it’s reveal and seems to be connected to people inside Rolex. There’s defo truth to this post but I understand things can change

I think Frank is a God amongst humans on TRF. However, I do question his reasons for leaking all the latest releases of Rolex before its official announcement. Especially one of his previous posts about a top executive in Rolex and possible use of blockchain technology to counter fake products on the market.

I do hope you enjoy your role at Rolex though Frank. It’s a great opportunity!
