For instance, with the SD, he originally predicted the red text on an otherwise identical SD4K. Anybody could have done that. But 13 days before Basel last year, he updated the prediction to 43mm, and added the cyclops; he also posted a rendering that was dead-on. Could he really have guessed that?

A company like Rolex would have an R&D department that would be making prototypes of a lot of watch combinations. So watches like the black/red GMT probably do exist, but top management has decided to not release it due to various reasons like quality factors or strategic positioning. So insider leaks are accurate to a degree if the leaks comes from the people who make, assemble, or assess the prototype watches, but impossible to verify if it is planned for release unless you have leaks from other areas like marketing, printing, etc.
