Just curious how many new or re-vamped models Rolex usually releases at Basel?

Over the years,has Rolex been fairly consistent with the number of model releases each year at Basel?Or does it really vary from year to year?

This time last year I didn't even know what "Basel" meant.....this year,I'm eagerly anticipating March 18 BIGTIME!!

Just wondering what to expect.

116610 Submariner for sure. Probably some derivative of DJ/DJ2 - maybe with Jubilee bracelet on DJ2?

I just hope the legacy Explorers and 14060M Submariner don't die.

So you don't like the diamond stuff or flower power dials?

Exp I & II, SS Sub are due for a re-vamp, Daytona may be a dark horse too!!

Lucy Diamond · 23 February 2010, 06:32 AM

So safe to say they usually reveal 3-4 new or updated models?

Lot's of threads about Basel predictions...not really what I am asking about.More interested in how MANY new/updated pieces Rolex comes out with each year at Basel and has that number has been very consistent over the last few years or varies considerably?

Just a curiosity......

If they modernise the Explorer II's my GMTIIc & DJII that're on layaway can both go back on the shelf & I'll join the queue for a pair of Exp'III's!!
