Because it's there...

In reference to Mount Everest and why they were climbing it...

Then it shows Basel for March 18.

I wonder what that is leading up to...Explorer????

Singslinger · 17 March 2010, 01:26 PM

Yes, that is the speculation...

kyle L · 17 March 2010, 01:28 PM

Yes, a new Explorer and Explorer II.

TimeOnHand · 17 March 2010, 01:30 PM

Can't wait!

WatchnRoll · 17 March 2010, 01:33 PM

Interesting...

But the Sub is one of the most popular models...seems weird to not have a launch program or campaign for it as well...I haven't followed Basel and Rolex in the past at Basel but do they typically roll out more than one new version?

I saw that but the text is not clickable yet.
I'm guessing that as soon as Basel officially opens the statement will become clickable and there will be a new section on the website for the 2010 releases.

The gold and TT Subs came out last year with great fan fare. So maybe it is the Exp's turn.

Its obvious to me that the best thing to do is wait for 10 models

OTE200 · 17 March 2010, 01:52 PM

I really do think the Exp I is a true classic that should not be tampered with, perhaps with the exception of a slightly larger case (no more than 38mm) and date complication. Such changes would not depart from its origins too much.

With respect to the Exp II, however, I say go for it. Bring on the orange hands, super case etc...

That way Explorer lovers will still have options: classic vs contemporary.

I agree

superb · 17 March 2010, 02:24 PM

I can't wait for the new explorer II.

Johnclintonlopez · 17 March 2010, 02:25 PM

I hope they don't can the LV

mpkRolex · 17 March 2010, 02:27 PM

is it thursday when we will know?

OTE200 · 17 March 2010, 03:31 PM

Right now, my "Everest" is having the patience to wait until Basel starts...

Joey_V · 17 March 2010, 04:20 PM

So when exactly is Basel? I thought it was on 3/18... but does this mean 3/18 whereever Basel is?

So this mean it'll be sometime tomorrow PM for us in the US right???

Lol-x · 17 March 2010, 04:23 PM

It's now 7:30am Wednesday 17 March 2010 in Switzerland, so Baselworld will be about 26 hours away from now for its official start.

Maybe we can have an hourly countdown:

T minus 26 hours and counting.................

Lol-x · 17 March 2010, 07:13 PM

T minus 23 hours and counting.................

Starwalker · 17 March 2010, 07:17 PM

i think it would be genius, if the stopped making the current sub, released new explorers I & II, and didnt come out with the SS ceramic sub till 2011. They create more hype for the SS-ceramic sub, the current sub sales go through the roof and on top everything else, the explorer I and II sell like hot cakes.
