What do you want most from the April announcement?

What are you looking for the most? (Aside from availability) A change to a certain watch? A size difference?

For Rolex, I was thinking I would like to see either one new color added and subtracted from the OP line each year or so.

For Tudor, I want the GMT to be a little thinner and the bracelet rivets to disappear, all without messing up the date wheel.

A return of the 14060m sub with a modern twist.

Add all the modern features but in a non-super case

A full 41mm or 42mm Explorer, not an actual 39.5mm called such !

Nothing.

The best thing we could hope for is for them to announce that they will supply demand.


These conversations are immaterial. What’s the point of anything new? They can’t even supply demand. The yearly announcements since 2016 have fanned the flames of demand again and again.

You can’t even try on the watches you may or may not want side by side. I got friends coming out of the woodwork asking me to let them try on this and that and if Rolex is worth the investment.

Unless you have every Rolex you want already, it would be against your best interest to want any new model intros from Rolex.

What do you want most from the April announcement?

Rolex: minimize the wall of text on dials. There’s already ROLEXROLEXROLEX engraved into the rehaut. Just keep the crown at 12, the model name under the crown, then Superlative chronometer above 6 o’ clock. Don’t need to know how deep the watch can go into the ocean, majority of Rolex owners coddle their watches anyway.

Tudor: for a new model, something other than a Black Bay or variant thereof. Would also like for them to start replacing the MT5612 in standard sized BB and Pelagos with the MT5402 of the 58. That way the standard sized BB and Pelagos can retain 41mm and 42mm diameter but decrease case height to under 12mm.

Green dial DJ41 would be nice. Other than that, some other white or eggshell dial pieces. I’m gutted the white OP39 has gone. The Daytona is out of reach for me and the Exp 2 just looks awful (and is too big).

A significantly thinner watch, much shorter clasp or bracelet design but with some adjustability. Not just new dial colors and superficial changes.

Thanks to new factories in China, Rolex will now ramp up the production of the more popular models. Influencers and Instagram/tiktoks addicts will be able to get their watches directly from China, while more discreet individuals will be getting the models made from Geneva.

Hoping for the Explorer to increase in diameter, the bigger the better, so it’s way out of proportion and then my 214270 mk2 will go up in value!

A Tudor Pepsi GMT in the BB58 case would be good.

New white dial explorer, smaller than the current 42 mm iteration and with slightly more subdued dial. Something akin to the old 16570, but with modern bracelet and new movement.

Also new Tudor chrono, measuring 12 mm thick, 40 mm or smaller diameter, and most importantly without the word "Tiger" on it.
