I thought rolex comes out with the gold models first.

This looks steelish, which means white gold right?

Rolex wouldnt intro a ss steel model first?

Its gonna cost a bomb, see if you have old models you do a price increase, but if you release a new model you can start with ahigher price off the bat!

My fantasy is that Rolex floods the market with the new 904L red sub/SD so that everyone who wants one can get one. Bwahahahaha! Fat chance eh?

Don't know if its just funky artifacts on some of those enhanced images, but I see a domed crystal too.

Darn it, darn it, darn it!!!!!

One major observation

During the night i was able to see the 40 marker on the bezel but know i can't see it

During the day i am able to see the 20 markers on the bezel only

That's strange I think that rolex knows how to tease

Rolex.com changes the portion that can be peep. Are there any graphic master can save those images and combine, and post to the forum???

Maybe after 12 hours, they will show us the 30 marker.

A variation of countdown version of last year.

I disagee partly about making or not making enough of it/them

I disagrre because I can see that here in Denmark the new Milgauss is selling only 3 - 5 % over the listprice, and the LV is selling 2 - 6 % under listprice.

My dealer have had 2 LV subs in the window over the last 3 mounths. They were in the window about 3 - 6 weeks before they were sold, so the LV is not hard to get. However a few new Milguass I have not seen yet in the window, but 2 danish had them for sale for about 4 - 6 % above listprice.

Daytona SS is still the most desired one. Here in Denmark the waingtime is no longer than 4 - 8 mounhts right now. Nobody gets on a list anymore. The dealers donīt want to sigh people up anymore on a lwaitingist for these watches.

So I do believe that the new watches at Basel, will be aviable witin 6 mounths of wait when we get to september - december.


Unless, they donīt want to make so many of them ofcourse




Regards


Nick

"TNM" could be a clue..

'Txxx Nxxx Master'

'The new Mxxxxx'



as it is the name of the picture file..

http://binary.rolex.com/en/media/ima...tnm-teaser.jpg

this makes sense when you compare to


http://binary.rolex.com/en/media/ima...s/bg-gmtII.jpg

I guess it could be for something boring like

'the new model'

The more bubbles you catch the more of the watch you are able to see

It seems like a double coloured white black bezel

Try to catch (concetrate) as many bubbles as possible and play around the bezel

You will see a different colour for sure

The colour difference is near number 40
This bezel has minute markers all around not like the sub or SD.

I agree with previous comments in that mere mortals will not be able to own this watch for a long time and even then at a price premium.

Time to climb Mount Olympus to see if my "mortal" status can be elevated.

looks more and more like a two tone bezel.

It seems that you can highlight the bezel a bit more. Yesterday I could only highlight the left side near the 40. This morning i can highlight some of the right side and it looks like a two tone.

Might just be me though.

I can only gather 5 stars and place them above the 20 mark then zoom in.
Still can make out the color.

I am away from my computer for a while and I miss all of the fun! I can't wait until Thursday - should be exciting

I agree, it would take a long time to get your hands on this one

Titanium
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Its most common compound, titanium dioxide, is used in the manufacture of white pigments.[3] Other compounds include titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4) (used in smoke screens/skywriting

White dioxide and grey/black smoke?

could it be a titanium Rolex...

It doesn't look like a multicoloured bezel

The light makes it look white

As near as I can tell, only three models have a "40" on the bezel - the Yachtmaster (which I doubt they'd do), the Submariner, and the Sea Dweller. Since it's under water, and no light seems to be coming from above (meaning that it's significantly submerged), it could be a Sea Dweller. But JJ's right, it looks like a steel, serrated bezel - and it looks like it's on a thinner case than the SD. I'm going to say it's a Sub, a new one. And I'm guessing 42 or 44 mm. Just my $0.02.....
