There's a new game in town these days, though. It's called YouTube.
Unless you chose a career as a meteorologist.

Also, RG sub in blue AND a YG sub in blue ouit during the same time? THis photoshopper doesnt know the brand well enough. Couldve done a much better job making better decisions to make this more believable if say there was a rendering of the all black GMT, or a white gold Coke or YG hulk BUT thats already been done.

FYI i am referring to the original leaked images on reddit. here is a close up of the RG submariner https://preview.redd.it/c5vcyz5p2cb8...=webp&f01844c9
Good thought, and perhaps still to be proven fake, but Rolex's own site does do that. Go through configuring a gold Sub and you'll see. Which makes sense: anyone using photoshop for this would be an idiot not to start with a screen capture of the real Rolex website.

Either way, I look forward to see what the new releases will be.

Hopefully, then I can finally get one

Feel that, but if the market stays the way it’s been since 2020 I wouldn’t bet on Hulk prices dropping. Stabilize maybe, but no way they’ll tumble. Look at the BLNR on oyster prices, which is more “common” (I think?) than a Hulk.

He spends a lot of time saying he is honest. Not something most honest people need to do. Then again he spends a lot of time talking about his previous profession. I think he might be a former watch dealer.

2020? The circus started circa 2017 and it attracted every clown in town

These threads always make me laugh every year.

No matter how adamant people are that these are either gospel truth or Photoshop fakes, the fact is that no-one outside of Rolex knows for sure.

All we can say is that Rolex don't care about what new models do to the prices/desirability of previous models, so a new "Hulk" (and I hate to use a nickname but I don't know what the reference would be!) is absolutely conceivable.

After all, Rolex were quite happy to reintroduce the Oyster bracelet on the BLNR despite it being a differentiator between the 116710BLNR and the 126710BLNR, and create a 'new' Explorer II that was basically exactly the same as the old one. At the end of the day whatever Rolex produce, every single model they make will sell 1000 times over.

The RG DD with blue romans dial, if it is real of course will be another "allocation piece" not available under 60k by us mere mortals.
It will be right up there with the green dial RG-deservedly so.

A titanium Yachtmaster would be more credible; this 'leak' seems highly suspect to me since it didn't include the YM! (its no secret a YM prototype is being tested out in the wild)

New models were traditionally released at Basel World in the spring (March). COVID killed that watch convention. Rolex did a fall release post COVID 2020. They'll probably return to the annual spring release date, but who knows?

I predict the exact opposite will happen! If the Hulk is back it will in fact be in WG, sending my 1st year Hulk which was bought at substantial discount from AD…to the moon! Which, when you consider it’s already getting 3X what I paid for it, will be quite amazing!

Last year YouTube gurus said the explorer II was getting a ceramic bezel and the JM Daytona with the green dial was getting discontinued none of that happened. The only real leak was a few days before the official release that someone posted pictures from what appeared to be the Rolex catalog that showed the Skydweller on jubilee and that’s the one that was right.

I would like to see a platinum sky dweller or platinum sub with a glacier blue dial.

Gold bezel with triangles…




Stainless steel bezel with dots…




Ceramic bezel on SS case with triangles…




Compare these with the purported leak bezel. Either by mistake or by design; it’s white gold.
