As the event approaches, I was curious to revisit Rolex releases over the past few years...not an exhaustive list, but watches that get mentioned here frequently.

2017:
Sea Dweller 50th Anniversary
SS Sky-dweller
SS DJ 41

2016:
DaytonaC
Air King 40mm
Explorer I (Lume dial)

2015:
Day/Date 40mm

2014:
WG GMT Master II Pepsi
Sea Dweller 4K
Milgauss (green)

Which years do you guys/gals remember and for which models?

JBoone · 12 March 2018, 12:50 PM

Wasn’t it 2016 that the DJ41 was released with 2017 being the DJ41 SS release?

jclaraperea · 12 March 2018, 01:17 PM

And 2013:
GMT II BLNR Batman

2007:
Yachtmaster 2 YG

smym18 · 12 March 2018, 01:20 PM

Was rhodium dial Yacht-Master 2015?

Chiboy · 12 March 2018, 01:21 PM

I think there might have been a 50th anniversary Daytona in 2013.

Fixed.

AK797 · 12 March 2018, 01:28 PM

D500 was the big one, and a surprise even though we had been waiting since 2011 as the TTs and Full Golds were skipped, and still now are absent.

henrylee · 12 March 2018, 01:30 PM

I remember 2013 BLNR and being so amazed with the blue and black.

2013.....best year ever. BLNR And Platona.....mind = blown.

Swiss Mad! · 12 March 2018, 02:48 PM

Was it around 2010 the Ceramic bezel was added the black Sub date thus creating the 116610LN we all know and love today?
I wasn't 'as' into watches back then as I am now, so it's introduction came and went right by me.
However, at the time for anyone who was, it must have been a pretty special release?
Would anyone who was an active member of TRF at the time care to confirm if this was the case?
Cheers.

Did the diamond version of the Platona also come out in 2013? Or was that released in later years?

Also - that will have been a 4 year run for the BLRO. Pretty short, ya? There can't be all that many out there.

No, I don't think the BLRO has been a massive seller.
I've seen one in an AD near me that's been sat there for months.

116622 Yacht-Master in steel & platinum with a blue dial
116622 Yacht-Master in steel & platinum with a platinum dial (replacing the 16622)

I think the 116610 was released in 2010.
2012 was the 114060.

2008 saw the ceramic bezel on the Sub, but the GMT saw the debut of the ceramic bezel in 2005. Also, GMTc in SS was 2007.
