My guess is they will add the newer movement that has the Paraflex shock system, as used in the Explorer lineup.

My hope is to discontinue the current maxi case models and bring us a new case, more like the last generation Subs.

The sticker thing is real. When I picked up my 216570 my AD (and long time friend) told me he was required to remove them now.

I think even going to a slightly larger, but less visually fat, case on the Subs would be an improvement.

Well since we're dreaming, 42mm SubC ND with normal lugs please. They can borrow midcase from Explorer 2

I'd like to see a larger dial/bezel ratio in a 41mm case.

Are the Explorers low on availability too? If not, I suspect it’s a movement update for the other models (since Explorers already use the newer motor).

Score! I’ve been waiting on a BLNR from my AD for 6 months and am still 2nd on the list. He mentioned that RUSA was very slow in delivering popular models to him currently (trickling in). Still hoping to get it before Christmas.
