Disagree - one of the great strengths of Rolex is that the design changes are so slight, that they do not appear to change at all - so that you buy with confidence that your new Rolex will not look outdated next year

Hopefully they will produce additional variants of the DJ36 - choices are quite limited for my SO

Alright.. let the time stand still.

Rolex is conservative but even they evolve every 10-20 years or so. Outdated doesn't apply to Rolex as collectors want to own the discontinued models also and they tend to go up in price.

In the case of the Submariner line ... if and when it’s updated I believe they start with a PM date model and the Submariner (114060) is the last the be updated. At least that was the last go around

I don't think the GMT will ever go back to one color solid bezel. This differentiates it from the Sub line.

I predict a lot of interest and weight will be given to RPR predictions, and this year he could be wrong.

I think it would be a safe guess that they will expand the use of the new movement. Beyond that, who knows? Whatever is new won't be available. Even the "old" stuff isn't.

I doubt the sub movement will be updated, but it would be super cool to get a SS blue sub even tighter on an oysterflex....but usually what we want dose not happen with Rolex...

I would be lying if I said I cared. I won't be arse kissing or buying PM watches I do not want to get the new releases. As such I no longer care what they release.

Rolex did a great job cleaning house in 2019. They finished updating several lines including GMT, DD 36, YM's and much more. Nobody cared because there wasn't a new Daytona or Submariner

I think this sets the table for a big release in 2020. My prediction is a new sub.

Personally I am waiting for an updated Explorer II but I think that will be 2021 for the models 50th Anniversary.

They pretty much already are The sub is such a great watch as it is, not sure how to make it better but I'm sure the new movement will be in it. Maybe red subs again too? I'm dying for a ceramic Exp2.

You're late on the LVC prediction. According to several reliable sources of mine, those sources being ADs, the Explorer II is history as well as the anniversary Submariner. The last ones will be delivered until the supply is gone. Get 'em if you can find 'em...all you flipper hounds!

The sub is dead. All of them. Rolex is tired of all the whining, decides to just rip the scab off with the band-aide.

The jubilee bracelet on my 126710 already does come with easylink.


I definitely think the Submariner line will receive the new movement and who knows, the may release the 126610LN with Red Text line 'Submariner'

Attended the local village fete a month or so back and had a session with the enigmatic fortune teller Madame Omeganova.

Madame O believes the following will happen in the Rolex world during 2020;

Submariner - New movement introduced along with revised dial and bezel colours.

DateJust - Celebrates it's 75th birthday in 2020 so a limited edition in full PM will be made available.

GMT Master - With many ladies now having a liking for something bigger than the traditional 31 or 34mm, those extra mm's are apparently very important, Rolex who are never one to miss an opportunity are going to introduce a 37mm GMT MII, watch will be TT with a 24 hour bezel matching the colour of the PM but with light and dark shades for the day/night.

GMT Master - Batman - Returning to an Oyster bracelet to differentiate it from the Pepsi and also get rid of the silly 'Batgirl' nickname which Rolex believes is holding back sales.

Daytona - With people apparently willing to pay double MSRP Rolex has decided to increase their mark-up on the Daytona by 75% and the MSRP accordingly.

The OP and Explorer line up will not be touched, their turn will be in 2021.

These are the predictions of the well respected fortune teller Madame Omeganova.

As for me, well there will be a drop in the prices at Grey outlets for the 'Unobtainable' SS watches. This will ease the pressure on AD's very very slightly but this decline in grey prices will continue as the bubble starts to contract.

And, I believe that the Submariner range will be updated, the 3235 movement is the obvious upgrade but unsure about the longevity of the Hulk.

Oh you can have so much fun with predictions.

Submariner SMURF gets a ‘Sunburst’ blue dial

Seadweller SD43 loses red lettering and previous becomes an investment peice

18kt full yellow Gold ‘Hulk’ is released

Print these out as I was the only person to predict the Tudor Black Bay GMT

Don’t even mention the Pelagos GMT coming

Hulk stops being a Sub and becomes based on either DSSD or SD43.

36mm Sub in RG with red and black bezel.

SS Cellini with date and cyclops

YMII adds a version in 48mm

Yes these are all ridiculous but have the same chance of being true as any other prediction.
