Love the EXP, but wish they didn’t make the font so large. Much prefer the font scale/understatement on the OP39, but love the 3-6-9 white dial. Can’t have it all I guess.

Sorry cannot see the point in posting any photoshop watches on forum as I thought this forum only dealt in true factual Rolex watches,and they do say beauty is in the eyes of the beholder .

I really doubt that Rolex will go blue dial on the ss Sub,Sub/Date

Maybe a darker blue WG Sub/Date .If so,I hope its a sunburt dial and not a flat dark blue .
Then they have to get the bezel insert colour right on the darker blue to match the dial .
I think it will be similar to the DJ41/ss SkyD blue dials .

Just some harmless (IMHO) speculation about September 1’s announcement.

Love the Sub, I hope they go dark blue like that and expand the sub line. Never been a big explorer fan

The trouble with speculation especially with some of today's members, once they see it on the net in there eyes it becomes a reality.

Blue Sub would be fantastic.

That particular white Explorer does not look good IMO.

Blue Sub would be interesting, even if I would no buy one. I only have the 114060. Before a blue Sub, I'd want a Datejust and a GMT. Then a Speedmaster. And maybe a Grand Seiko.

The blues on that IG photoshop are terrible; the bezel is a nice true blue, the face is not the same. Then again, my eyes are getting old.

Go to Rolex.com. This is already on it, and it doesn’t look like the smurf to me.

As far as the white dial for the Explorer/214270 I dont see that happening. Has there ever been a white dial on that model ever? I dont believe so. So I just dont see Rolex changing it.

The Explorer II, 16570, 216570 has always been in both so I get that but the 14270/214270 has always been black. I believe it will stay that way. At least I hope so. Too much similarity to the 39 mm OP. Why would Rolex have a 39 mm white dial Oyster Perpetual and a white dial 39 mm Rolex Explorer??

i'm sure i'm probably in the minority, but i would melt if they came out with a crimson (sunburst efffect) red submariner with matching bezel insert in stainless steel. would look super-sharp.

Not a huge fan of the white explorer, I find the dark accents too harsh.

Gotta agree. White explorer is not for me.

A sub with blue dial and bezel such as the one above in white gold would do it for me.

If it’s SS it will just become another unobtainable piece. At least a $35k price tag would keep most of us away.

Blue sunburst dial would look fantastic, and Rolex can argue it is different enough from the WG Sub, esp compared to the BLROs. Price here would be £20K.

My SA and I have been speculating about a SS Blue Sub for almost a year, I really think it’s coming. The movement will be updated of course but I don’t think the case/dimensions will change.
