In grey dealers we trust....the next Rolex rumour.

Did a visit to my grey watch dealer today. He told me that in september Rolex will come with the new (movement) submariner. This is not a type of person that says something out of the blue. Yes, yes, and yes.... I am familiar with most of the TRF reactions in this kind of threads Just want this of my chest....We will see.... okay

It’s not the first “September” rumor. There’s always hope for another watch in time for the holiday season, that nobody can get.

I like what you put at the end there.

Meh. Why not. Only makes industrial sense given how the DJ and YM and GMT have gotten new movements.

It’s the case change that would be the real speculation.

Worst kept secret for 2020. Sub and Mil should get updated movement. Maybe more.

I like the way “I heard from my AD” is treated with scepticism, yet “I heard from my grey” is taken seriously

Has anyone heard and/or have any confidence in the rumor that Rolex may increase the case size on the new submariner? ..I sure hope they don’t

Does anyone really care about an identical submariner with a new movement? 70hr power reserve is nice, but doesn’t seem like something to get excited about.

For me it doesn’t motivate me enough to want to spend 10k plus retail on a new movement. My guess is that Rolex will make some subtle tweaks to get their fans to justify owning another sub

Not just the movement .. The trimmed lugs as well + that cool crown logo on 6 ..

I have turned down the 114060 recently from an AD as it looked like a soap bar with those fat ugly lugs ...

In the perfect world they would also remove at least one line of that stupid text - it's like reading a novel on that dial with those 4 lines ..

I agree the Submariner in it's current iteration is a compete abomination. I'm embarrassed to wear such an atrocious reference

To each his own I suppose...I absolutely love my 114060. If I could only have one it would be that.

I have some mixed feelings... Would love to get my hands on a 114060 in time (I like the 6 digit lugs and looks too) but likely won't be able to, and at the same time I'm really curious and excited to see what's coming up (trimmed lugs?)...

I heard the submariner was going quartz for improved durability.

Yes, heard that too. Also adding a digital clock and countdown timer to cater to people who don't want the trouble of rotating a bezel or learning to read an analogue dial.

I love all the comments and opinions. Especially the “ugly lugs”. Now we know why sales on those went so poorly! Wait, that’s not true, sales are still off the charts!!

Love my new Bluesy with “those fat ugly lugs”!! Geez....
