I got a chance to go to rolex factory through my friend who works there and saw a dummy ceramic sub with brushed links and also an LV with ceramic bezal and brushed links.
so we might see the new sub with brused links.

can't believe it!

Davvan · 29 December 2009, 12:18 AM

I´m sure Rolex will put a green rotor with see thru case back on this LV edition

chkwong · 29 December 2009, 12:27 AM

I really hope it will be PCL ceramic submariner..
I have PCL GMT IIc...i like it so shiny

BASSETHOUNDS · 29 December 2009, 12:42 AM

If you have that much security clearing at Rolex could you also tell the price ?

Chrisxx · 29 December 2009, 12:51 AM

hmmm.... you are very lucky to have had this opportunity.... looking forward to seeing these in what ever format in the ADs.

rolexsubdate · 29 December 2009, 12:57 AM

I seriously doubt Rolex would allow visitors in their factory ....and on top of that, display for them what's upcoming for Basel 2010 .... I bet very few Rolex employees are privy to this info ....

bodybump · 29 December 2009, 01:02 AM

Ceramic LV?? ummmmm that would be intresteing...I want to see a ceramic pepsi or Coke!!!

Carlos98326194 · 29 December 2009, 01:06 AM

pics would be much appreciated...

kahoot · 29 December 2009, 01:29 AM

not allowed to take pictures when i asked, they were reluctant to confirm if this was the new model they said we try and test different designs this was one of the designs.

DM101 · 29 December 2009, 01:52 AM

Doubt ROLEX will allow visitor just like that....

SDDS · 29 December 2009, 01:55 AM

so.. there will be still chance of having PCL ceramic SS submariner
who knows the final result?

Sonny Crockett · 29 December 2009, 02:53 AM

Thanks for the in sight, I am pretty sure the new sub will be just like the WG and TT ceramic models, but I believe it will not have PCL

BASSETHOUNDS · 29 December 2009, 03:01 AM

You went to visit the Rolex factory in their future designs department ? Where is it located ? Which building and what floor ? You even had the cheek to ask to take a picture ? Are you trying to say that you as visitor actually took a camera or even a mobile phone equipped with one passed security ? Any one just trying to take a picture of their main entrance gets frogmarched off by the "swiss" guards . Allow me to doubt all of this ...

Playdrv4me · 29 December 2009, 03:04 AM

For the un-initiated, can someone explain to me what the heck "PCL" means? And yes, what is being described here is damn near impossible.

Thanks... I should have put that one together!

I love the PCL on the last two GMTs that have come through my inventory (a bi-metal and a stainless), but would prefer the Sub retain the satin finish myself... at least in the Stainless variant.

Funny as that might sound, I think it should now become a rule of thumb on this forum!!

JimC · 29 December 2009, 03:27 AM

Even one of the outside of the building...

That is the complete opposite of everything that is Rolex to me. They will destroy the sub if they put PCL's on it and make it a dress watch.

I understand what you are saying but why would someone come here and start a thread making this whole thing up? is it totally impossible or could there be a slight chance to access the Rolex Building. I hope he replies because I sure would hate it if this is just a lie... Thou Shall Not Lie !

Well, you'd be surprised at how many guys come in here bragging about this and that without any evidence whatsoever.

I think it's only fair that when someone comes in tossing a lot of hot air, he should substantiate it with pictures......or it didn't happen!! Simple rule of thumb!!
