Red Submariner for Baselworld 2018?

Any chance there will be a Red Submariner with a 3235 movement on Baselworld 2018?

With red wording on the dial, or a solid red dial and bezel?

A mouth watering prospect of a Sub Special Edition theme release would be more convincing in Baselworld 2023

Agreed, a 70th anniversary makes more sense than a 65th.

I'm not holding my breath for BW2018 but if a Red Sub is announced this year with thinner lugs + 3235, I'll be on the phone like a maniac.

As long as it’s crafted in Platinum.... If it can be made in YG and WG then why not make it in RG or Platinum?

Solid red dial and bezel will not be visible (hence not practical in my opinion) for actual diving, it will turn blue. Green on the other hand, per the current LV, relatively stays green underwater.

I think the only possible change to the sub would be the 3235. Don’t think they would redesign the case after such a short run . It’s not like it’s the black sheep SD.

I could see the red text for a special edition, but not the red seconds. That would look too much like a custom mod taken from a platinum Y-M.

Maybe it’s just me — but the only Red line sub that interests me is a 1680...

Red doesn't work underwater.
The longest wavelengths, with the lowest energy, are absorbed first. Red is the first to be absorbed, followed by orange & yellow. The colors disappear underwater in the same order as they appear in the color spectrum. Even water at 5ft depth will have a noticeable loss of red.

Agreed, and it puts a little more distance between the release of the SD43.

As long as we're speculating, how about this: 2028 will be the 75th anniversary of the Submariner, which is a more meaningful anniversary than the 70th. It will also be 20 years since the debut of the six-digit Sub Date (in PM). The previous five-digit Sub model (16610) was in production for a good 20-plus years before it got replaced, so 20 years is a good estimate for the life cycle of the current model. That makes 2028 an ideal year for a new Sub design that also coincides with an anniversary edition. In the meantime, Rolex drops the new movement into the existing designs, slaps an M onto the reference numbers, but otherwise makes no aesthetic changes for another ten years. Those of us predicting/clamoring for a newly designed Sub are left to suck it.
