Hey Rolex, if you're watching, I'd love to work with you & your dev team - I can help you avoid anyone seeing the URL's like this next year

Inded, that works (if it's "ranked" then it has to be indexed; the order is crawl, index, rank). There are also myriad ways to get ultra granular in your searching (via Boolean Google searches) to find pages or groups of pages.

But the crawling and analysis software OP is referring to starts by "crawling" a site as googlebot does, part of which results in a list of all URLs that Google has indexed.

With SEMRush, for example, OP can schedule or initiate a new crawl regularly and then compile the data to note the changes made since the last crawl. Sites get large and complicated quickly. Regularly crawling is a great way to maintain site health and also a great way to glean competitve insight, all at a scale impossible for a human to accomplish without it.

Yes, that's correct.

This is where you're wrong, as there is a key difference between what you did compared to what I did - you made up a URL, whereas I scraped the URL's I posted from Google and downloaded them in an excel file using software designed to analyze websites, URL's, etc.

I’m convinced this is correct. Thank you OP. Very excited about the new Daytona. I hope it means all mine are discontinued.

Why do you hope yours is discontinued?

When you do that with the OP's links, you get zero results.

Great work. Thank you for sharing this with us!

The 'site colon' method is really meant for searching websites or specific folders within websites as opposed to checking to see if a specific page/URL is or has been indexed. A 'site colon' search may not return any results on certain child pages if they're several folders deep.

Also, 'site colon' searches typically don't return results on recently indexed pages. I have seen it take 90 days for some of my clients' newly created pages to show up in a site search, even though Google Search Console & my third party softwares show that the page/URL is already indexed.

Thank you OP!

Rolex WIS. Love it

[sigma089]

Wow, outstanding work, thanks for sharing!

If these are real it's going to be hell of a year of Rolex. Still hoping for a 40/41mm LN GMT with green hand, though. Really excited about the new Skydweller, fingers crossed for a smaller and slimmer version of the current one.

[MrMikee]

Good work! So interesting to see

Two reasons. The current version is perfect for my wrist. Larger and I’ll stop wanting them.

I really like having things that are discontinued and therefore hard to get.

I have four Daytonas now and would love to stop constantly lusting for them.

[speedbird]

Excellent work

[Greenwood_]

Nice find Ross - certainly seems to overlap with the teaser video.

Interesting blend of technical expertise in this thread:
- those who understand
- those who don't
- those who pretend

Luckily I'm in the second bucket, so I can enjoy some ignorant excitement!

[Watchsama]

Haha. A lot of Boomers here...

Nice work OP!

[Lol-x]

Nice detective work.
I'm confident there will be a new 40mm Explorer and I'm excited by the prospect of a new Daytona but not as confident....

Haha, ain’t that the truth (yours truly included!).

Great work OP. I’m afraid there’s always a few that want to piss on the parade of those that go out of their way to help.

It’s okay. Next year there will be something else. Last year watches and Wonders leaked all the watches for all the brands, remember?!?!?

Maybe it’s a 42 MM Explorer Ii with a ceramic bezel.

Great work by our skilled colleague! I am pretty confident that if we have such IT specialists in our forum, then we also must have an astronaut who actually spent some time in Space! :-)

As regards the watches - out of all these "NEW" Daytonas, Submariners and so on we can only be (pretty) sure that Explorer will be a really new watch - in a new case - 40 mm.

For the other watches "new" may mean "a completely new model like Sub 41 2 years ago" but on the other hand "an anniversary single model = new". We'll see on Monday morning at the latest.

[Willyjo]

Very cool OP.

Nice work!

Thanks

Thanks for posting, smart, Justin.
We will see if Rolex HQ will unblock these URL’s.

One of the best, love it

[speedbird]

40mm explorer is pretty exciting.

Also agree with comment above. New likely doesn’t mean whole new line. Not convinced we will see a whole new line of Daytona for example.

[alphadweller]

Thanks Justin! I'm intrigued..., there could be a new Sub? That's not in the teaser.

[Number3]

As a complete aside, does anyone know what the headline ‘defying excellence’ actually means?

[b4d4bing]

Hi, that’s looks likely. Can you do the same with the Tudor site to see if any clues?

[Yhtan5]

Lol OP is a busy/wanted man now
