Maybe some new innovations from Rolex for 2008 and beyond. Anyone out there for a 40+mm SUB?

How about the new 2008 60mm Explorer II.

Here's the prototype:

Personally, I find the current sport's Rolex size at 40 MM perfect. The YM II is bigger, and IMHO not as elegant on the wrist (at least judging from the wristshots I have seen of it).

My sentiments exactly. I do not believe I would like even 42mm, and especially would not like to see the Submariner/ SD line changed at all in this respect. I don't care what they ever do with the YMII, because I'll never choose to buy one. The Explorers are also just right, IMO, as is the current YM. Perhaps if there was a different reference introduced that would address the issues of size & weight on the wrist...

We'll see at Basel!

rolex should stick at the 40mm watch models

Joey_V · 29 January 2008, 05:44 AM

Stick with the 40mm....

Same with everyone here. I don't think Rolex should follow fads and gives us bigger Sub/SD/YM/Exp. We'll see in April.

If it ain't broke don't fix it.

40mm is about the limit for my wrists and one of the things that I like about Rolex. I hope they stick to their guns and don't jump on the size bandwagon. Given the changes to the GMT IIc, I suspect they won't, at least not across the board.
