Let's hear some serious Baselworld 2019 Rolex predictions

I am saying COKE on a Jubilee

[jsausley]

New movement Submariner, likely in PM first and then steel to follow. I'm guessing Date only.

BLNR discontinued. White gold Pepsi officially discontinued. Coke on oyster in white gold. Steel jubilee to follow.

Agreed with everything except for the coke in WG.

Nice! I would agree

Would agree with you, they definitely won't be putting out a steel coke on jubilee without first releasing it in WG.

Batman dies bring on the jokers, aka coke red and black

I predict someone will start a thread for Basel '20 the next day, just like someone did for Basel '19 this year.

That thread has grown tired...

Fair enough. I'll make/add to the same predictions I have in every other Basel '19 thread up to now. (There's been more than one.)

- Better than 50% chance a new Submariner drops. Will be the 12661x, with 3235 movement. Following the pattern of the GMT this year, case refinements will be minimal, and virtually indiscernible from the 11661x series. Because of this, Rolex will put out new metal/color combos, and will not update existing models this year. If this holds true, then updates of existing models will begin in 2020. A red line on black dial will not happen until at least 2028.

- Hulk will be missing from the catalog price list, resuming a frenzy of speculation it has been discontinued, which will endure up until Basel '20, when it actually does get phased out.

- The existing 11671x GMTs will begin to be updated with the 3285. 33% chance BLNR is discontinued outright. 33% chance it will receive new movement and be reissued as the 126710 BLNR. 33% chance it isn't due for any change until a later Basel. 1% chance something else happens I didn't think of.

- Coke fanboys will continue to predict it will happen, only to be as bitterly disappointed as Star Wars fans in the '90s who had faith the Lucas prequels wouldn't suck.

- More DJ combos.

- Rolex will do something else to piss off PM owners.

- Yachtmaster, yadda yadda. (Rolex has no clear idea what that line should look like, so why should I?)

- No new Explorer II until 2021, which will be its 50th anniversary. All Photoshop mockups of a ceramic version between now and then will only serve as big clock-teases for the people dying to see it happen. (See Lucas-prequel simile above.)

- None of the above will be available at ADs before Basel '20, except for the DJs, which will be available at an AD near you beginning March 27, 2019.

- Some newbie will start another Basel '19 thread, claiming this one is tired, and all effort put in here will be buried and forgotten.

I see no reason to post anything on this topic after this fine and comprehensive contribution :)

This. The Coke predictions are out of control. There's no way Rolex is going to cannibalize the demand for the Pepsi with introducing a Coke a year later.

I can’t see that happening either. It will happen at some point, but they have a few years before they go the coke route.

BLRO on Oyster and another bi-color GMT on Oyster.

SS YM with ceramic bezel insert... I hope.

This would be immense! I reckon SS Coke on Oyster, not Jubilee. This will be the BLNR replacement. I dont see them issuing both non-black ceramics on Jubilee... it will be BLRO jubilee, NORO (RONO?) on Oyster!

Good point. This makes sense
