So approaching basel, what were the best new introductions over the last decade? I would have to say the YMII. I don't personally like it but it was a unique movement and a totally new watch. After that the Milgauss. Old watch but new interpretation. I do really like this one. After that, maybe the larger size day date and president. Don't get me wrong. The new GMT II and Sub are awesome but still just a refinement vs a totally new watch. So what do you all think? And for basel what is the next milgauss and YMII? And no, an orange hand explorer II doesn't count. Annual calendar would be my pick....

dddrees · 25 January 2011, 01:49 PM

The YM II, The Daytona with the in house movement, The GMTIIC, The Sub LV, and the DJ II.

Art 1 · 25 January 2011, 01:54 PM

Yacht2, 4130 Daytona.

PHDX2 · 25 January 2011, 03:54 PM

Day-Date II, Datejust II, Yacht-Master II

castroses · 25 January 2011, 05:22 PM

Last decade? 2001-2010?

Surely the DSSD has got to be in there? Just on account of the specifications of that bad boy!

OK I MIGHT be biased

Singslinger · 25 January 2011, 07:09 PM

Another vote for the Deepsea!

Followed by the GMT IIc, Milgauss and then YMII.

Fiery · 25 January 2011, 07:30 PM

From a technical point of view, it has to be the YM II. But I just cannot stand its design, so my vote would rather go to the DSSD.

As for an upcoming new model at Basel..... It's a tough one to figure out what new model would Rolex come up with. Perhaps a Daytona II, with an enlarged case, but still without date.

duckdown · 25 January 2011, 08:00 PM

Day Date II

Starwalker · 25 January 2011, 08:05 PM

I'd have to with the 4130 daytona, and the GMTc....lol...my perspective might be bias....but then again...i bought both these watches for a reason!

unclesallie · 25 January 2011, 08:10 PM

remake of the milgauss, preferably the white dial....elegant, sweet, unique movement, heavy, accurate, comfortable, and last, but certainly not least, that lightning dial

RRGHOST1 · 25 January 2011, 08:23 PM

The YM II maybe all new design and the others like the Sub, GMT, DD and DJ II's just upgrades, nothing has really come out of Rolex except the Deepsea. Does anybody know anybody who has bought a YM II of any description ? I would love to know how many they have made and sold ! Elephant and white spring to mind.

Cal. 4130-based Daytona

acadianl79 · 1 February 2011, 10:54 AM

DSSD of course

karmatp · 1 February 2011, 11:17 AM

Sub C gets my vote.

GMT IIc.

DG123 · 1 February 2011, 12:07 PM

2008 introduction of the Oyster Perpetual model 116000, including new case, 36mm size, and upgraded bracelet.

Dan2010 · 1 February 2011, 12:11 PM

With the upgrades and yes I said upgrades, the Sub C became nearly the perfect sports watch.

Traveler · 1 February 2011, 02:12 PM

The original Sub LV

tkc324 · 1 February 2011, 02:15 PM

Gmt2c and dssd

Rags · 1 February 2011, 03:37 PM

I'll go with the new SS Sub C...

Zed Homme · 1 February 2011, 03:46 PM

I assume you guys are talking rolex only. Therefore, I'd pick the ceramic bezels and the new deep sea. Movement wise the ym2 and the blue spring.

If discussing the industry as a whole, nothing from rolex makes my list...

gtb5 · 1 February 2011, 06:00 PM

GMT II definitely and just got mine used, much improvement from old models!!
