Well it gets you guessing, however, if you have the funds and fancy buying one to have the very latest Rolex or as an investment or whatever!! You can't yet order one and when you can you'll be told it's a 2 year waiting list!!
Depends how friendly you are with your local dealer 😉

I doubt my dealer knows me from Adam. I've been in 4 times - twice to try on and order Daytonas (old steel model and current steel/ceramic) and twice a few months later to pick them up.

They do send me invites to new product launches and cocktails when the Christmas lights are switched on.

Very interested to see what this new model is. Wouldn't be surprised if it was a smart watch.

Rolex's new launch models are like RS Porsche's laugh Can't buy one at the actual price, and if you are lucky to get one, you'll flip it!

Rolex take forever to bring out something new, with the rate of technology the watch will soon be outdated, they can't risk
their brand ending up in a drawer with a Nokia Communicator after a couple of years!!

They don't NEED to make smart watch for fear of being left behind when there are people willing to pay £16k for a ceramic Daytona

I think it will be not as exciting as all think,I'm betting on ceramic bi metal Daytona's and probably a anniversary Sea Dweller? The date bubble would only be put on a diving model. So pretty sure it's not a new explorer. IMO..

I would like to see something with a rubber strap and steel from Rolex...maybe even a Daytona. I would also love them to ditch the dial colours in favour of a bi-colour bezel on the Sea Dweller.

Still hoping for a steel ceramic Pepsi sub one day too.

Reading more about the Daytona, it appears it also comes in a white gold option with the oyster flex strap. That could be interesting.

Can't understand anyone paying £14k+ for a steel when that's £21k. Lovely.

I like that they've reissued my blue faced datejust on oyster bracelet in the larger size too, very nice.
