I'm curious to see if there actually is a redesigned sub...and if so, where that will leave the current 16610...perhaps someone here can shed some insight?

chicagowatchman · 4 October 2008, 11:41 AM

I also read something about other colored crystals like the green crystal GV Milgaus...... an Orange, Smokey Grey, and Gold one , i am not sure if i would care for that though

Yes the sub is re-designed - look at the White Gold version - this is the new look!! :)

I would like to see a Daytona II and/or movement improvement so I may still purchase one before it's priced out of my reach ... with the price increases as they have been.

AMEN!!!!!

sdwtchlvr · 4 October 2008, 11:54 AM

It's interesting, and I'm sure it's not new news so I apologize if I'm out of touch, but Rolex seems like they are itching for changes...something new? They've been on the same road for so long and it's worked...but perhaps they're getting board? I dig it, but what are your thoughts?

JJ Irani · 4 October 2008, 12:25 PM

I would like to see just one modification: A new DJ in 41 mm!!

WatchTimes · 4 October 2008, 12:26 PM

Awww come on, doesn't anyone else want a
Digital Plastic Rolex G-Shock watch?????

HAHAHA

I heard they were going to make them in neon
colors!!

GBJIV · 4 October 2008, 12:52 PM

AD told me in the short term the Daytona is definitely getting a bracelet update - hence some justification for the price incrdease (not too sure about that concept) To the experts out there.... Think that braccelet update will be the GMT IIc bracelet or the DSSD?

DSSD is a pretty sweet upgrade. Not sure the functionality is needed though on a Daytona so, my guess is the GMT IIc bracelet. What do you think? If this is a hijack on the basel 2010 thread - I apologize.

WatchTimes · 4 October 2008, 12:56 PM

I think the DSSD bracelet should be on every watch...
The micro adjust clasp is just great! I use it quite often,
sometimes your wrist swells a bit and its a GREAT feature!

I do not think their main intention for the micro adjust clasp was
a dive suit as they still have a dive extension....

sdwtchlvr · 4 October 2008, 12:57 PM

JJ, isn't there a 40+mm DJ in the works? I could have sworn I saw something about it...

Only the new DD-II so far which is now available in 41 mm at a break-neck price!!

WatchTimes · 4 October 2008, 01:03 PM

JJ Id rather a SS DD-II haha wouldn't that be nice????

A 41 mm DJ would be great!

Rolex would never do that. The DDs will always come in precious metals only.

However, a 41 mm DJ in SS or even TT......hmmmmm, now that would be a fantastic introduction!!

topcat30093 · 4 October 2008, 01:37 PM

I know that it will probably never happen!!

But I would love to see Rolex, produce a complication or even a Grand Complication watch.

Good points. How about a Blue Crystal on the Submariner TT & 18KT? That would be awesome! Or a Red Crystal on the Daytona.

Unsure what that would be. I thought the bracelet/clasp on the Daytona and GMTC were the same? Dont both have the easylink extension and solid center links? Bigger clasp maybe?

X2!

The Cellini collection could use an overhaul. Some complications for Rolex to consider: a perpetual calender, Power Reserve, minute repeater....the possibilites are endless.

mic6 · 4 October 2008, 06:46 PM

seriously speaking basel 2010 will bring one of the hottest selling rollies for the next 50 years:
the supercase ceramic ss sub

at the same time it will be the end of the hottest selling rolex for the previous 50 years:
the ss sub date

+1 can't be more true

padi56 · 4 October 2008, 07:00 PM

Myself would like to see a totally new movement from Rolex and not a slightly modified base cal 3035 clone for most of the Rolex range.Afraid making a case a little larger and perhaps a few other minor cosmetic details in my book dont make a new watch or new movement.Perhaps a retro Daytona say in the style of the 6263 with the Cal 4130,and less bling watches.But bling is very high profit for Rolex,and now IMHO Rolex is straying away from there heritage routes.Everyone seems to ranting about ceramic this and that, but just fitting a ceramic insert IMHO dont make a completely new watch.Perhaps the ceramic bezel will perform as good or better than the older type who knows, only the next 50 odd years will tell.

2careless · 4 October 2008, 10:37 PM

So, does anyone expect a 41mm DJ in the next 1-2 years? So supposedly Rolex has the DD2 first and "milk" it's novelty as much as it can for 1-2 years and then make a 41mm DJ afterwards?
That would be interesting...

rolex_addict · 4 October 2008, 11:28 PM

im 100% if they come out with Daytona date people will start complaining like always about messing up a classic and so on LOOL
