I have bought/sold many watches last year ie( offshores , tt daytona, lv and sea dweller). My current collection is ( ROO elephant, ROO vampire, tt datejust 16013).last week I got the chance to buy tt submariner ceramic blue dial and to my surprise i loved it alot and asked my self why i did not think of it before

. I bought it from AD brand new with all stickers at a perfect price and before wearing it i read here that there is probably a new movement coming to the professional line soon the 3235 which makes me felt a bit annoyed. I dont want to wear a watch that after a couple of months will be offered with updated movement thus i kept the watch in my drawer and waiting unpatiantly to basel this year. What do you guys think?? Noting that i bought the watch and may sell it to grey dealer for profit also

So far, Rolex has only put the 32xx into new case designs; they have yet to simply "drop" the movement into an existing design. If this pattern holds, then a Sub with the new movement would also be a new design, meaning the watch you currently have will not be offered in a couple months with an updated movement. Likewise, I wouldn't expect to see a new Submariner for a few years yet. The GMT is a better candidate for a new design, given its age. But if you're really that worried about it, hold off for ten more days.

Throught about this scenario also, although everyday i pull the watch and admire it but my feeling is to hold off till basel and not to rush like kids 😂, but god knows how long is 10 days for me

Can't comment on the potential new movement or future price if there is an upgrade. However it would be quite difficult to sell it to grey dealer for a profit.

Some already offered usd 200-300 higher than the price i paid

but if stickers removed i will lose like usd 1500

joli160 · 13 March 2018, 05:31 AM

Your AD does not know what the future will bring. Rolex never shares this kind of info, not even with the biggest retailers.

If a new movement will be used in the new models after Basel does not mean that the current movements are inferior.
On the contrary I would say. Proven workhorses.

The new movement has more power reserve, if you wear your watch than that makes the added power reserve irrelevant.

Looking back nobody cares about which movement is installed in which reference. Vintage is about dials and cases.

Nothing to worry, enjoy your beautiful Sub.

tyler1980 · 13 March 2018, 05:33 AM

a new movement is not going to have any practical difference in performance or accuracy. You won't notice and with the solid case back you won't even see it.

This

No offense, but you didn’t buy the watch because you liked it, you bought it because you could. Buy what you like, and wearing it will be a given.

IMO

My DJ41's 3235 is accurate to the second after 8 months from new.

That's +/- 0 seconds a day, week, month, probably year.

My old DJ36 16233 was running 8 seconds fast a day when I traded it.

they are all going to be certified +/-2 ... current movement is and future movement will be too. Thats all but guaranteed.

In a mechanical watch for all practical purposes it isnt going to matter. You probably could have had your old DJ regulated to specs if you wanted.

Good point sir but i thought if they offered a new movement in the next generation with 10 or 15 % increase in price i will buy especially that rolex says 90 % of components is newer than the current movement

Agreed. Still a lot of people getting the DD36.

ckaynyc · 13 March 2018, 05:34 AM

It wouldn't bother me. We aren't talking about technological leaps in improvement like electronics. I would wear it proudly.

thomaswentworth · 13 March 2018, 05:42 AM

No hurry to wear it. Savor it in its present state. If the time comes to flip, then flip it. If the time comes to wear it, wear it. You will know if/when you are ready to make a decision. Reminds of when I bought my first nice sports car (no it wasn't a Lambo or Ferrari)... I really babied it driving under the speed limit for about a month or so... then it started becoming a regular car to me and I started driving it normally and sometimes a little abnormally (fast). Sometimes when you get something special, it's hard to know what to do, how to treat it, and in your case whether or not to flip it. Basel is what only 11 days away now? That's a week and a half and it has been shortened this year, so the time shall come soon. Cheers.

A new movement in a mechanical watch... Who cares... Just wear it.

Exactly

Look back at all sports Rolex from 4 to 5 to 6 digit they all have done quite well over the years. Solid workhorses all with classic Rolex look regardless of time. So they are timeless and built to last so who cares. You have a great watch that you bought for a reason so wear and enjoy it.

"Yes, but they don't have the new power reserve!!!!"

I've yet to use the power reserve on any watch I own with the exception of those requiring batteries (which I don't wear anymore).

I agree!

After Dalton worked on my GMT 1675, it loses about a second a day when I wear it. I wear it because I really like it.

How much am I going to gain, time wise, if I go to the newest/greatest?

Wear what makes you happy and enjoy it!

Easy E · 13 March 2018, 07:13 AM

Even if they do release a new movement it will likely be October-ish before you could get your hands on one. By which time you can say " well Basel is only 5 months out, maybe I should wait and see what awesome thing is about to release." There is always something new just about out. Cars, electronics, watches, you name it. Solve today's problem with today's tools. Wear your watch.

Yes but there is no new design or movement every year for a sub. So if they throw a new movement this basel i think it will be many years for any change

I would agree. If the current six-digit design gets a new movement, I think we won't see a new design for years to come.

You bought it because you said you love it so much.
So put it on and wear it. Br damned with the undetermined outcomes.
Don't fill your mind up with stuff that's irrelevant.
Enjoy it while you can life's too short.

Wear the watch you have bro, it's a fantastic piece.

If (and that's a big if) there is new movements for the Sub this Basel, you will be waiting nearly a whole year to get the watch. Enjoy what you have in the here and now.
