What watches will be discontinued or revamped in the next few years?

What watches should be added soon, before the ADs will no longer carry them?

Also, which refreshes and new models/colors should be expected in the next several years?

My crystal ball is in the attic.

SS Sub C with sunburst blue dial.

Platinum Sub C with ice blue dial.

SS Space King - first Rolex in space, to have three simultaneous time zones, 200 year calendar and anti-gravity mechanicals.

Sky Queen - 35 mm, TT, GMT function aimed at lady pilots that don't want to wear a satellite dish on their wrists.

FYI, some people had been discussing discontinuation of DS in another thread.....Personally don't know if it's going to happen soon....

taylor · 9 April 2017, 02:18 AM

I'd say the Daytona gets revamped soon

KDS777 · 9 April 2017, 02:21 AM

I'm hoping the Sub goes to 43-44 MM..........and those fat lugs get fixed.......

Ec2016 · 9 April 2017, 02:31 AM

Wow, a 43 sub would be nice. I love the sub, but do think the dial is a bit small.

I like the size of the exp ii, but it is too sporty for my tastes. 42 sub would be perfect.

The lugs have grown on me. I like them

Sub Date in favor of the new Sub Dweller.

I believe Rolex will ditch Maxi case (fat lugs) if they raise the size of Sub to 42 or above because Rolex wants to make the watch looks/wears bigger than it really is due to trend in wearing bigger watch.
But at the end, the question is how much bigger a Sub Rolex wants to make?

Mine was broken so I sold it on EBAY as slightly used and bought a watch with the money.

Exactly.

They will stop making all watches. Rolex will tell there is 5 year wait to any watch and take full prepayment of each order to make a scam of a century - then they flee to Mars with their spaceship masked headquarters and make the same 100 year story again. AD's continue to tell how rarity of each watch just increases all the time.

Xerxes77 · 9 April 2017, 05:52 AM

Sub SS with a blue dial!
I don't think they grow Sub to 43mm!
Sub remain an iconic watch for Rolex!
Maybe the most iconic Rolex watch! Some people don't like it, some people think it's too small but in the end all love it!

Ec2016 · 9 April 2017, 09:00 AM

The sub Ss in blue will not be likely imo. Fights with the PM
