Pepsi GMT, because no speculation thread is complete without a Pepsi ceramic GMT.
It'll never happen but let's speculate anyway

I think we'll see another high end piece along the lines of the Sky-Dweller or YM-II. It seems that Rolex are concentrating their efforts on going after the ultra-high end market

My dream would be a Pepsi GMT...with the option of having it on Jubilee, But a new Rootbeer would also work.
But my guesses would be more boring new dials for the current collection. Complicated new models wouldn't be my first guess as they already have been having problems getting the Sky-Dweller out to AD's and i'm sure Rolex would want to see how that one will be welcomed first.

Daytona anniversary edition for sure.
Something new in the GMT department. A whitegold Explorer II would be bold, but probably not gonna happen. A lot of bling and diamonds and dials and stuff like that for uninteresting non-sports watches, hence they make up most of their sales.

A Submariner with the 16610 case, matte dial and domed crystal like on the DSSD - without cyclops por favor - and the updated bracelet. Sign me up please. I'm done with the SubC, GMTC etc - I cannot take the maxi-case anymore.
An unblinged Daytona without PLC would be much welcome as well. |

More boutiques, higher prices and less discounts.
Also, TT ceramic Daytona and still no Pepsi ceramic insert solution. |

I'd love to see a Ceramic SS Daytona, but the TT Daytona is next in line.
Of course with it being the Daytona's 50th anything is possible. |

Daytona Date that they release in ridiculously small numbers so that hype greatly exceeds availability. . .

No display backs! We're not talking Patek Philippe here. A Patek movement is like Kate Upton in a bikini. A Rolex is more like the same bikini on Whoopi Goldberg.

Rolex may or may not finally release a Daytona with a date complication.
They may or may not expand their offerings of models with sapphire case backs to more than the Cellini collection. They may or may not announce a price reduction across the board. Aside from the above, its anybody's guess.
