Color variations in Rolex models is not a new thing, so you can't call that a change.

I'm anxiously waiting to see if there is a difference. I just got the call last month, after a year and a half for a 126610lv. I have to say, I like the color of the original Kermit, a little more than the darker green, but it may be the aluminum vs ceramic. Hope I didn't pull the trigger too soon.

You got the watch you love, I wouldn't worry about this in the slightest. This is not going to be more "collectible", and if the difference exists (my AD hasn't confirmed, and it is one of the largest) it will be splitting hairs.

Did anyone who attended W&W care to ask a Rolex employee?

Or was it supposed to be some big giant secret?

I think there is a couple of guys said that there was a seminar for the Rolex AD and they informed them the bezel color will change

Hope to see in flesh soon

Nice watch, congrats!

If there is a 70th anniversary version (and it remains a big “if”), the new models won’t show up until later this year.

A "big if"? Everyone knows there is a new one at this point.

According to whom? Rolex doesn’t say so. No reputable watch site says so (like Hodinkee, Fratello, A Blog To Watch, WatchPro, Revolution, Monochrome, etc). Don’t you think they would say so? About the Submariner? Quite possibly the most iconic watch line? Pretty strange if you ask me.

And then there are TRF members who went to WoW and reported on their visit. They didn’t mention the Sub. Because people weren’t talking about it there. Again, pretty strange.

All there is, is one video blog (Adrian Barker, and Jake’s World citing Adrian) and a few “my ADs said” posts and “there was a seminar” posts.

So, yes, it’s unconfirmed. It might be true. But it’s not confirmed. In my option at least.
