Rolex 2021 new models

What are the board members thoughts and predictions for new Rolex 2021 models?

Will they be released in April?

Reading articles about a possible hulk Daytona. That would really popular if it happened.

Also, I like the idea of full rose gold and platinum versions of the Submariner.

Thoughts/Predictions?

A full unobtanium venti hulk panda pepsi

But seriously no one knows. The general consensus is that the explorer II will get a subtle update.

The experts are saying a new explorer III is coming and I hope the Coke GMT comes true.

I have heard the first week of April for an announcement. I am going to say there will be an update to the Explorer line and a new Cellini

I’m currently in the process of bagging a decent black dial 216570 in the ‘very likely’ event that they become extinct and internet hype sends the prices sky-rocketing.

Keep hearing about the possibility the Explorer will be discontinued but I'm wondering why?

The Explorer came out in 1953 didn't it?

Wouldn't the obvious time to discontinue it be 2023?

They going to be released as part of Watches and Wonders (07 April).

I would expect some of the watches to be ready to hit the shelves rest quickly (the ones meant for launch last year) whilst i would assume some will take the normal amount of time (any time from May to September).

No idea what they will launch, I suspect we will get another OF model, I wonder if it will be a PM GMT on OF.

And obviously the normal assumption of PM bracelet Daytonas with Ceramic.

Submariner on OF would be nice, but only Rolex knows.

What about being able to see and buy them at your nearest AD at MSRP?

My prediction:

Solid Gold SD43 - 126608

Platinum Submariner - 126616

YG Yachtmaster42 - 226658

Explorer 'II' Ceramic -- 226570

Explorer 41 - 224270

None of which I will care a bit about, none of which I will be able to buy, and all of which will cause some model to suddenly skyrocket in price from FOMO.
