          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 read a little and stopped when I realized they use hidden text for their SEO. lol.

                              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.

                                    Patek have announced their new watches, most of which seem to be expensive iterations of existing models. But I do like the Calatrava Weekly Calendar, which has a steel case, and (for once) they've implemented hacking seconds on it.

                                    More at Hodinkee. Unfortunately the price is CHF 29,500, so it's probably not happening. 🙂

                                    Panerai have got a new Bronzo. @Anesthetist won't appreciate it, as the case is 47 mm!

                                    I wonder if the Rolex link that @mclaincausey is complete. There's a teaser video of something gold with a fluted bezel on Twitter, which doesn't match anything in that article.

                                    The Yachtmaster would certainly match the teaser, and if it's steel, it'll be the first time the Oysterflex has turned up on a non-precious metal watch.

                                    @louisbosco will like the new Batman.

                                    The Tudor US Marine is awesome. 😃

                                      Who knows, could be total bullshit too. I agree (hope) that that isn't all that's coming. It seemed like there had to be an Explorer or Space Dweller reference based on that rocket in the teaser video.

                                      Think it, be it.

                                        We'll know for sure sometime in the next 12 hours. 🙂

                                        I'm still hoping for a new Milgauss.

                                        I'm also looking forward to seeing what Omega have in the pipeline. They're running an event in Zurich, which started yesterday. I'm surprised that there haven't been any announcements.

                                          I like the green Aquanaut, but I'd like it better in steel…
