Jubilee Daytona

Based on the effort last year, you should expect something that nobody asked for like the two-tone Explorer which badly deviate from the spirit of the original.

I think he means the use of gold on a tool watch. It surprised me.

It's not the first two-tone Explorer. These two are from the 1950s. Refs 5701 and 6299.

A good point well made.

Yacht master II update.

Lug width increase to 22+mm. Modernise the case profile. Glidelock clasp. Titanium (probably).

Either that or they kill it.

Never happen,
Each watch would actually have to meet the certification by a third party in accuracy along with all the other criteria. Failure rate would be way to high. Production would slow to a crawl.

2023 Predictions.

I predict that I won't be offered a Daytona in 2023 the same as I haven't been offered one since 2015!

But I'm not bitter and twisted about this!!!!!!!!!!!!!

stevestil · 18 November 2022, 12:03 AM

the only 2023 prediction i can pretty much guarantee is a whole lot of disappointment :)

Interesting they did an Explorer and an Explorer Date. Wonder if they will reintroduce the Explorer Date?

RHD VTNR and LHD BLRO/BLNR GMT’s?

Maybe! There was an Air-King Date, too. Both shared the same reference numbers and came in SS (5700) and TT (5701).

FWIW (and Adam and I have gotten into this before), but those Explorers are based off of 34mm Air-King and OPs, and they don’t have unique reference numbers, so there’s debate as to whether those would be considered true Explorers vs simply Explorer-like.

Rolex will introduce a line of solar-powered watches.

JayBlack · 18 November 2022, 05:20 PM

IMHO. 2023 will have very minor changed if at all to the line up.
We're heading towards a heavy and massive recession. That's why rolex introduced the deep sea challenge now and didn't wait till march-april. That's why they initiated the process hike now in November and not January, to cash in the money from ppl buying for Xmas and New year. Come januari AD'S will be ghost towns. They'll just call one after another on waiting lists snd 70% will just pass on offers. The waiting lists will be squared away by june-july. Only very high high demand watches like panda and blue sky may still have a waiting time of a few months.
But gmt , air King, explorer and so on and precious metals will all be readily available. Just walk into the store and buy.
Rolex knows this, so maybe a few color schemes for 2023 but that's it.
