      If @Giles got one of the full metal G-Shocks, he'd have been able to replace his weights belt with it! 😃

        Put one of these on the crystal and you'll truly never have to worry about anything about that watch

                      I've been wondering about the Rolex teaser. You'll have noted they say "watches", plural…

                        it'd be nice if they have a rolex in display case…

                          @JDelage, Rolex put a number of Milgauss photos up on Instagram. I suspect that there might be a new one announced on Wednesday.

                          @louisbosco, I've seen a couple of GMTs in display cases. In grey market dealers! :o

                            Gotta be offering the modern movements in the line, one would have to assume.

                            Think it, be it.

                              No leaking from Rolex, but my speculation is in no particular order: new movements for the subs, maybe a new Milgauss, but the Rolex Explorer II is in need of a ceramic bezel and the Air King is in no-mans land.

                              Is anyone familiar with Seoul and watch shopping there? In particular: Shilla Dutyfree Main Store or Shinsegae Department Store.

                                I wonder about that; the lack of a ceramic bezel helps segment the Explorer II from the GMT Master II, and the brushed inlaid metal bezel has always been a part of each reference (though the Daytona did go from finished steel to ceramic I suppose). I'm unsure if fixed versus rotating is enough of a product line differentiator for Rolex. If they add ceramic, I think they'll have to stay with the current movement instead of upgrading that to the new, 70 hour PR movement, perhaps with paraflex added (which is my very uneducated prediction). The way the newer movements have been propagated, perhaps that's the plan–they're so smart in how they maintain scarcity and desirability, rolling out features very slowly to market so that they can maintain constant buzz.

                                Think it, be it.

                                  I don't entirely agree with the writer, but this is an interesting piece on why in house movements are so popular.

                                          I hope I did not offend. In-house movements were adopted as a market differentiator and for brands to remain relevant…hello Panerai.

                                          As to the article itself "Luxury Science" is hardly new, but it is to the watch industry.
