Bang on Chris.

More Yachtmaster silliness is likely.

I think a TT Daytona with that black ceramic dial would look HIDEOUS...so perhaps Mr. Rolex will go straight to SS?

Hakan · 5 March 2012, 06:27 AM

Submariner 42 mm.

14060 with a date?

Interesting.

Rolex will launch TT Daytona C, IMHO.

I expect new 14060, Yachtmaster 2 SS and maybe a new sports model in a few years.

I must admit that I was being a little whimsical with that description, which is basically a Sub Date with PCLs. I later removed the PCLs from the list based on "popular demand."

It was an experiment to see if some would go for an updated 14060 that was really a variant of the 116610.

Some did.

HL65 · 5 March 2012, 08:40 PM

My only guesses are: A few more DJ and DD dial options as well as expanded use of RG in either the GMT or Sub or perhaps both. Other than that--we are almost there so we will know soon enough!

Fiery · 5 March 2012, 09:38 PM

Basel teaser is online on Rolex.com...

Looks like a white ceramic something...

Welshwatchman · 5 March 2012, 10:48 PM

I am anticipating another disappointing set of offerings.

I hope I'm wrong.

The past few shows have been a let down from Rolex. I hope this year is different.

TempoKing · 6 March 2012, 01:41 AM

I would like to see the sky-dweller ANNUAL CALENDAR

I find it a bit odd that they only show one of the new models in the teaser, and not a video where all of them would be shown -- just like how Omega teases us this year. Or maybe the Sky-Dweller (or whatever that new white bezeled model is called) will be the only big hit, and the rest will be the underwhelming "business as usual" (e.g. SS Sub-C NoDate, TT Daytona-C, YG YM I with just the expected bracelet+clasp update).

Philipp · 6 March 2012, 02:26 AM

Sky Dweller ...

Solo118 · 6 March 2012, 04:53 AM

All I know is they should chill out with those 42mm+ cases.

Sky dweller.... sounds interesting indeed. white ceramic bezel... this can't be an existing model so must be something all new. Perhaps a chronograph for aviation? I am thinking someting similar in looks to the YM2 but with a chrono dial.

Looks like this may be SS a Yachtmaster II dial to me, with the regatta hand pointed between 8 & 9 to me...
Just compare the two???

bodybump · 6 March 2012, 11:04 AM

im thinking they just going to make new inserts...

I think the Yacht Master II in SS is a possibility but I don't believe it's the one in the teaser. The YMII has a number 7, and small red pointers instead of black dots.

good point also I just noticed the angle is reversed...

withthesword · 6 March 2012, 11:46 AM

maybe it's a bezel triangle pointing at a DSSD style crystal ring with numbers engraved. maybe like an internal rotating one? and maybe the reason it's just the triangle without the rest of the bezel is cos they might be announcing a new bi-colour ceramic insert :o

we can only hope...

HL65 · 6 March 2012, 11:53 AM

Time will tell! Counting down the days....

Yoda · 6 March 2012, 12:34 PM

I heard from my contact a perpetual day date 2. Let's put it to the test.

jumproductions · 6 March 2012, 01:19 PM

I was told by an AD in Compton, CA this is going to be the new Rolex for Basel 2012.

Sam would be all over that

jumproductions · 6 March 2012, 01:50 PM

I am sure he would. That watch would probably get more comments and looks than a Platinum Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar.

Submarino · 6 March 2012, 02:05 PM

Two more days only! My guess is that new bezel inserts for the GMT will now be available. My best guess is a white and black insert or a white and blue.

My guess for an update is a new kind of bracelet for the ceramic Daytona.

I was visiting an AD today and "Sky-Dweller" was the thought of the day for a new release. Of course, no one knows for sure just guessing.

Lol-x · 6 March 2012, 05:34 PM

Only about 25 hours to go and we'll know for sure
