which model like to change in 2012?

[myjianrong]

i do hope SS/Plat YM can have 44dial haha..

[triton]

if you mean what models is likely to be given facelift/upgrade, i think for sports models it is likely the 14060M. this is because it is probably the last sports models, it has yet to undergo any changes for the past few years.

1) explorer I - bigger case
2) explorer II - bigger case, change hands, etc
3) submariner date - ceramic bezel, etc
4) milgauss - variations
5) gmt II - ceramic bezel, etc
6) YM - YM II, etc
7) daytona - variations
8) sea dweller - deep sea sea dweller

if have bigger dial? possible, will it be this year, dont know.

Maybe a change in the letterings of the GMT 2 ceramic from green to white lol... makes the ones with the green letterings collectible .... Fat hoping all the way lol

Hope got vintage reissue for a manual winding oyster case model aka 6694 in 38mm...

on another forum someone told me last year when he got the 2012 catalog that the TOG is gone and the 14060M will have SEL but lose chronometer certification. no maxi dial or maxi case.

i have the pictures somewhere.

some predict the YM will probably get some minor internal upgrades to match the rest of the line up. maybe the 14060M sub will get them too. i am not hopeful though.

I wil jump for joy too. Let's say they decided the change the red Daytona wording on black dial to white... I will be like Yayzzzz...

[Watcha]

Nice. Hope they keep the classic holes and clasp

[rabid]

any possible changes to the DSSD?

[rabid]

well I am considering a DSSD. looking the resale price of the sea dweller now, am wondering if the replacement model DS will follow suit

[Zdenek]

Exp I: longer hands!

[DM101]

wierd they drop the cosc lettering ?

using sel I can understand as the hollow bracelets stocks are all used up (no longer produced) and these sel are leftovers from sub 16610

the cosc dial version only had at most a 3 year run - unless they also run out of these dials as well ?

[taxico]

dear guru nim,

you are extremely observant and wise

these are the older 14060m
remember 14060m before 2007 were non-COSC?

do teach us how.

the departure from the chronometer certification puzzles me as well. i guess it may be a cost saving step...??? heh.

we can only speculate until basel - but as far as SEL go, the case needs to be notched to accept them. probably not a difficult task even on existing blank 14060M cases.

as for whether the bracelets are from the 16610 subs, the date codes will probably educate us if, as and when they are released.

that,s why I find this new 14060m assumming taken from latest Rolex catalg is like a frankenstein piece

- pin holes and case retained like previous
- the bezel is retained like previous (16610 bezel is different from 14060m)
- cosoc text removed back to the pre 2007 dial style
- now is sel instead of hollow links



if only we could have shots of the extension link - then we can tell for sure is it sel bracelets from the 16610 leftovers
