Not a guess (since I would be really surprised to see one), but rather a wish: A Daytona 116520 on superjubilee.

More likely: Jubilee bracelet for the DJII.

Others have mentioned the expected SS Sub 116610, and I posted photoshopped pictures of supercased Explorer IIs in JJ's thread on a similar theme, but I do not believe they will be here already this year, perhaps not even next year, but they will come. I am certain.

Most likely the Sub will be the "star" this year.

But a Daytona on Jubilee would be great! And I do hope that Rolex makes me surprised.

Best,

A

I don't think the will add more dials for the DJII.

NavitimerNut · 8 January 2010, 04:12 AM

A sub on a nato srtaight from rolex!

Xenophon · 10 January 2010, 10:35 PM

My money's on the Explorer in a bigger case like the Milgauss and the Sub Date upgraded

Gasoil4ever · 11 January 2010, 12:00 AM

How about a Maxi Lume Dial Explorer II, with polished bezel, PCL and the new clasp ? That could look nice, some kind of Dressed up GMT

alexgr8 · 11 January 2010, 08:34 AM

I'd really like to see some more dial options for the larger DJ

spuds · 11 January 2010, 08:39 AM

I'm new to this whole 'Basel' thing but (based on you guys experiences of previous years) is it likely that much more will happen IF the Sub's updated?

I mean..... how likely is it that:
the SS Sub will be 'modernised'
AND
the Explorer II's will be modernised
AND
there'll be more variants of the DJII????

MrCowboy99 · 11 January 2010, 09:04 AM

I will tell what not is announced...

Batteries in them or lower prices!

RC2 · 11 January 2010, 12:12 PM

Todd, nice picture of the ACUs - I mean Rolex watches! Army Strong.

Tombstone · 11 January 2010, 08:07 PM

I would love to see an update with the turn-o-graph a new or different dials. Loose the stick dial, make the case wider, maybe even a new bezel.

recolimited · 12 January 2010, 12:51 AM

Where is the show and what does it take to get in (re credentials)?

escudoturbo · 12 January 2010, 11:48 PM

Same prediction as last year - an updated Exp II. Other than that maybe a mens pearlmaster.

SDDS · 13 January 2010, 05:35 AM

Sounds good. I am really looking forward for the new Daytona. I love my white dial though.

I think 2015 will be roughly when we see a new Daytona IMO as that is the 50th anniversary I believe.

My name is Daniel and I am a new member here and I would like to see Rolex come out with a ss ceramic red submariner and a Double Red DEEP SEA. i would seriously think of buying them. thanx.

.. and plenty of guesses going around..

I thought we would start our own "Guess" Thread, and see how close we are.

Put down what you expect to see, or even hope to see, and let's find out how good a guesser you are !!

Here is what I expect.

1. A SS Sub Ceramic, of course.
2. Upgraded clasp and bracelet on the Yachtmaster
3. Upgraded Clasp and bracelet on the Explorer II
4. More dial options on the DateJust II

upgraded clasp on YM and ExpII? - you are a dreamer, dial options on DJ2 already occured last year, too new. 25% on these, spot on w the SS Sub-C - future best selling SS of all time Old Sport. Print out my post.

My wife spoke to a 'Sales Division Manager' at Rolex HQ (UK) a few days ago.

He was very helpful albeit very 'tight lipped' although he did leave my wife with the impression that as the DJII was selling so well, he didn't think there would be any changes to the DJII line up.

Incidentally I had a letter from Rolex (UK) back in November which reads (& I quote).....

"Regarding updating of models in the future, almost the entire Oyster range has been remodelled and improved since 2000, including the gold Submariner in 2008 and the Rolesor Submariner in 2009. As yet unchanged remain the steel Submariner models and indeed the Explorers.

At the time of writing we are unable to confirm which models might next be updated. However, it is safe to assume that those watches not recently changed might soon be earmarked for attention."

Don't give much away do they?!?

Fred_Tan · 20 January 2010, 10:02 AM

A 48mm Sub-Date will be nice as DSSD 43mm is still too small for me.
I actually prefer 55mm and above.

A titanium, forged carbon or 100% ceramic case, bezel, crown & links will be good as well.

You're supposed to wear the watch on your wrist, not around your neck!!

I'd like to see that too

But before it happens Rolex would have to drink some strong liquor out of the Panerai drinking fountain.

geepee · 22 January 2010, 05:51 AM

Do you all think Rolex will update the date, non-date or both??

Jimbits76 · 20 January 2010, 08:22 PM

New SS sub ceramic and that will be about it!

Thats true. All they have to do is update the steel sub and Rolex will steal the show.

moviefreak · 21 January 2010, 03:11 AM

My guess is that they will offer NATO straps for every available watch in the Rolex line.. just to make the ex-ceo angry.

WatchSmith · 21 January 2010, 06:43 AM

I'm betting the farm on a ceramic SS Sub. Of course that's a pretty safe bet. I'd love to see a ceramic Pepsi GMT, but that's a crap shoot. It would certainly cause quite a stir if (or when) they make it. And if they do, we won't see a SS model for a year or two after a gold one is released. A ceramic Pepsi could very well be one of the most stunning Rolexes ever made.

Quattro Libre · 21 January 2010, 10:03 AM

Hmm, what I'd like to see personally is for the Air King to increase from the too-small 34mm to somewhere around 38-40mm and for more dial options on the 116000.

But I'm likely in the minority for people who actually care about those watches!

MagedMS · 23 January 2010, 07:01 PM

A SS Sub Ceramic ( Blue ) Bezel & Dial with a ( Matt ) bracelet..
..To be different than the All White Gold model that has a polished center bracelet.

If Rolex makes this combination, I will immediatly buy it !!
