what's coming up?

What the next new thing coming from Rolex. Any opinions or facts?

I'm hopping Pepsi ceramic/ red hand.

discontinue production of stainless steel daytona ( because AD is earning too much from it.)

I think we'll see increased use of the maxi and ceramic in several references. When, I have no idea.

I agree, I just hope the font on the other ceramic bezels will be much more conservative looking.

YES, I am not too crazy about the size of the font on the GMT II ceramic. Looks like a Tag F1 watch.

Ceramic bezels and maxi dials, improved clasps and blue Parachrom hairsprings all 'round for the Explorere II to boost its sales. Basel 2008.

I like the Pepsi too. Wearing mine right now as a matter of fact.

Black dials and bezels have their place. But I really like colour in a luxury watch, seems so out of place yet perfectly correct.........

Beefed up cases, new style eazy link bracelets and ceramic bezels for all. I hope the Blue TT Sub is the first followed by the SD. I know not many will agree (especially Bo) but my SD dial (and lume) looks a bit delicate compared to the maxi dials and it also needs the same bracelet and bezel as the new SS GMT ceramic.

Beef up the SD case, Eddie? If it gets any beefier, you're going to have to use both wrists to wear it.

I do wish the lume were brighter and lasted longer.

This is all pure speculation from me but I say the Explorer II gets an upgrade for 2008. Some people even speculated that the orange hand is gonna make a comeback!

Cant wait for Basel 2008!

I wish Rolex made price increases like once every ten years instead.

I know that its inevitable, I just wish that it didnt have to be as much as once a year.

I'd like to see the width match the thickness - or something like that.
