rolex will make complication watche! Baselworld 2012!

Rookhawk · 2 March 2012, 02:28 AM

In Basel 2013 I predict a significant effort to fix clasps.

We thought Rolex bands were really great quality for years until the slide-lock clasp came around. Now, every vintage / legacy clasp and band has a cheap feel to it by comparison.

Rolex will focus on the No-Date Sub and get that up to snuff with the slide lock clasp. I think they'll also make a concerted effort to turn other professional series watches into the same capability. Milgauss? GMT?

The unintended consequence (benefit) of the new clasps is that it allows couples to share watches which in turn encourages "fashion buying", meaning that people buy many colors and styles and mix them out amongst the couple daily. You can't do that with old-school Rolex product.

That's my predictions for 2013. We'll have a year and a week to speculate.

WhatTheDeuce · 2 March 2012, 02:34 AM

The Green Gold Sub-C LV.

Xenophon · 2 March 2012, 03:41 AM

YMII in steel & Sub in the 42mm ExpII case (no, not the sub-date)

Lanfor · 2 March 2012, 03:45 AM

Proabably something with the YM since the 18ct version has gone from the catalogue. That means a new 18ct this year hopefully which then should mean a bi-metal the year after

gwalker · 2 March 2012, 03:55 AM

Pepsi Daytona. With YG presidential bracelet and a date.... ROFL

mikkemus23 · 2 March 2012, 03:56 AM

GMT Pepsi Chrono
Just Dweller Date (fluted bezel, 44 mm)
Submariner Day Date in yellow.

snaggle · 2 March 2012, 04:10 AM

Im about to start a 2014 thread..... and maybe 3018?

GolfPunk · 2 March 2012, 04:48 AM

I think It will be the ceramic Daytona in 2 tone on bracelet as well as rose gold on bracelet.

New day date II dial options and possibly S/S Daytona dial options before they change to ceramic in 2013.

EchoBlueUK · 2 March 2012, 07:22 AM

How about a SS 42mm Daytona Date Ceramic?

Fiery · 2 March 2012, 09:59 AM

SS Daytona-C, still at 40mm

And updated YM I 40mm Pt/SS.

SS Ceramic Daytona ofcourse. Which would probably be my next Rolex after the SUB C.
