Predictions: Watches & Wonders 2024

[hl0m4n]

watches & wonders 2024 - April 9 to 15.

curious to see what your thoughts are for next year; lets get this going .

• Submariner: this year, aside from the mk2 lv update, nothing big came out of the 70th anniversary. although unlikely, there is still some time left for a release before end of year. perhaps a platinum like the daytona, new titanium, or an oysterflex option?

• GMT: 2024 marks 70 years of the gmt. can we expect a platinum or return of coke bezel? perhaps a bump to 41mm?

• 120 Years: 2025 marks 120 years of rolex. rolex had and is fully capable of making more complicated movements - perhaps this is a good time to introduce such complication? i made an interesting post on the datocompax here.

• Milgauss & Daydate: 2026 marks the 70th anniversary of these models. Milgauss was discontinued last year but with tudor achieving full metas certification, perhaps we see a new model to celebrate. For daydates i only see new dial variations coming out.

Bloody hope not

A additional Explorer II made of grade 5 Titanium.

I like all of the predictions mentioned here. A PT Submariner would be wild. An other-than-white-or-black dial for the Exp2 would be really funky. Milgauss 3.0 would be something fun, but would likely be in the 41mm OP case (the 2.0 40mm was already quite large IMO, dial-to-bezel ratio). Some Day-Dates with different stone dials would be a welcomed addition.

I think we may see a new 41-42mm GMT in precious metal, perhaps with a Cola bezel, and the SS models will follow in 2025.

[Ceriano]

Green GMT mtn dew.

[puma1552]

I'd like to see new dials on the DD where the outer rail road tracks are replaced with hashmarks like the newer DJs.

[Speedbird-1]

Titanium Sub.

[Know1isgod]

Hope for Tudor GMT 39-40mm/13.5mm thick on a five link with opaline dial.

[marmite2005]

new 37mm Sub, please

[JTL31]

I have my name in at my AD for when a blue TudorBB54 is made.
Doubtful for 2024; more likely in the future based on them riding the success of the 58.

[askdanny]

A moonphase 1908.

[lenversducadran]

A new millgauss with new movement and new case. A PM GMT with coke bezel.

[Pablito]

Something in the GMT line up for sure and new PM Daytonas dials.

Stella dial day dates

[yetione]

A titanium Explorer 2 or Deepsea makes a ton of sense...

New redesigned Milgauss

[SubDate]

Would love a Coke GMT however given all of the “ceramic red is a very difficult process” talk spooks me. If true, no Coke yet. If false, maybe Pepsi fades away to let the Coke step into its place?

Red ceramic on it's own seems to be dead easy to make. Plenty of micro-brands out there make very crisp red and blue bezels by making the two halves separately, so I would imagine making a completely red bezel and then overlaying black on half of it (like they do with the BLNR) should be easy. I guess it comes down to their desire to actually make it.

Would this become the GMT-Master III?

[majidessa]

No new GMT this year at best new color variations "Coke" if the the PEPSI gets discontinued

So true. What they CAN do and what they WILL do are 2 very different things.

[Roger Lococco]

1. 37mm Submariner
2. Pepsi GMT take a hiatus, while Rolex addresses production issues
3. Coke GMT
4. Rose Gold Submariner with Blue Dial

[Michael1968]

I’m waiting for Coke GMT

[MrMercedes]

GMT Coke!

I predict we'll be seeing rediculous YouTube personalities claiming things they really don't know for sure.

I predict BOLD topics hoping you click.

I predict naysayers will see the new release in person, after complaining they haven't seen any yet, and then fall in love with what they 'hated' in photos.

I predict there will be more availability, and less wait time once released (for typical 'saner' models).

I predict all predictions are correct, or incorrect. It depends.

I predict the SS SkyD blue on my wrist will have more scratches and dings, unless it goes to service and I decide to get it polished.

So, how were my predictions?

PS: GMT Coke FTW
