Re: New Rolex at Basel - Instagram tease shot
Maybe a sport version of the Sky-Dweller?
The two rings of lume suggest either an internal rotating bezel or a smaller sub dial within the main dial.
The gaps in lume suggest places for day-date window placement, maybe more.
YMMV

Yeah it's all over the place. Ceramic Bezel Daytona is the last I heard, hopefully not in some precious metal
Re: New Rolex at Basel - Instagram tease shot
Interesting. It doesn't have the lume pattern for Daytona. Like Hoppy said, looks like some sort of inner/outer dial combination. I think the only lume the current sky dweller has is in the hour/minute hands.
Gap at the top could just be for the Rolex crown, which acts as the "12" in many of their pieces. Not sure about the gap at the bottom.
I am reasonably sure I won't be able to afford it, whatever it is.

Re: New Rolex at Basel - Instagram tease shot
Rolex fanboys have been jonesing for a ceramic bezel SS Daytona for years now - still hasn't happened. Not sure it ever will. Others want a size increase to 42mm - don't really see that either.Panerai7 wrote:Yeah it's all over the place. Ceramic Bezel Daytona is the last I heard, hopefully not in some precious metal
Other speculation is a reduction in the size of the Datejust II from 41 to 40 mm (like what they did with the Day-Date last year). Still others speculate a new coke style GMT Master in SS.
Bottom line - when it comes to Rolex, no one knows nothin'.
Re: New Rolex at Basel - Instagram tease shot
Folks at TRF are speculating a Daytona with a lumed bezel. Seems plausible.

i would love a SS Sky Dweller.
Re: New Rolex at Basel - Instagram tease shot
Yep it's time, naked bezels are so out Daytona needs an insert, ceramic and lumed or else the new Tudor Big Block will outsell DaytonaJBZ wrote:Folks at TRF are speculating a Daytona with a lumed bezel. Seems plausible.

It is the Rolex homage to the MKII Pan Am GMT.

Would be the first time Rolex ever did that, I'm pretty sure.gwells wrote:gap at bottom: date window.JBZ wrote:Gap at the top could just be for the Rolex crown, which acts as the "12" in many of their pieces. Not sure about the gap at the bottom.

Re: New Rolex at Basel - Instagram tease shot
I don't know....the gap at the bottom is on the bezel so it might not be a date window?? Looks like a gap on the dial at 3 might be the date.
Who knows - it will be fun to see.
hopefully
