New movement is guaranteed pretty much.

But damn, prices of the Hulks have gone crazy.

After I buy a ****ing new house, I think up next is a Wimbledon dj fluted/jubilee or a santos.

41mm with colored ceramic bezels? He’s been right before.

 

[rfx45]

eww


not with making them bigger

 

[Chopper]

They def need to fix those lugs from current model. Do not look good.

Same guy leaked the last Basel release of the 42mm YM white gold.

Looks to be as legit as it comes.

I wish I would’ve been surprised and watched the official rolex release instead of this photo of a screenshot of a screenshot.

 

[plansb]

The blue one is cool but I still think I prefer the black. 40mm is perfect size imo, not sure why they would make it bigger though.

 

[Chopper]

Black > _________.

Anyone looking for a seiko SKX 007 let me know.

I'm definitely interested.

 

[Leebro]

Although I see the clear evidence I still can't accept that they've upped the size. But I think it does make sense in the grand scheme of things. If this is the case they have a variety of sports watches with a similar look that come in a variety of sizes. GMT -40mm, Sub-41mm, Yachtmaster-42, Seadweller-43mm and Deep-sea-44mm.

And I do believe that like Nike with the AM1 (fixing the shape, then seemingly intentionally messing up the toebox later on) that by banking on demand for the item because if it's classic status and reverting back to a more classic shape if the product fails. They have done this previously with the DJ2 and a number if different models which have had a refresh.

not sure how I feel about making it bigger

interested to see what happened tomorrow/tuesday

not like even if I was in the market that I could get any

 

[rfx45]

the mostly likely chance are they slightly increased the size but just like they call the daytona 40mm despite it being more like 38.5mm, they'll do the same with the new sub


i hate the case size "increase" but if they make a no date in blue or white (my dream) and they might have my money if i live long enough to be called up for my turn on the list


but at this point i am more curious on the new offering outside of the subs

 

[rfx45]

 

[plansb]

So speculation is the blue dial is PM, and the rest are SS? I am figuring with the "41mm" update they will stretch the endlinks out by 1mm and then shave 0.5mm off the inside of each lug, i wouldnt be surprised if the case is still the same size.

I agree though, i think im more interested to see waht they do outside of sub.

 

[23soles]

So is the blue stainless?

 

[Leebro]

I'm just even more happy to have my Sub now and the bump in value which is uncharacteristic on the cusp of a new release doesn't hurt. The increase in size does nothing for me, and as far as i can see there isn't much in terms of change in the shape of the lugs but we'll find out in an hour or two officially.

 

[rfx45]

i really cant say enough but they need to give some love to the no dates, give it some color options

 

[rfx45]

so far new movement = 70hr power reserve

 

[Leebro]

Was just gonna upload...

 

[Leebro]

New OP 41

 

[rfx45]

ugh, i hope the op 39mm isnt discontinued, that was just about as perfect as it could get, still in search of a white dial

dont like the double batons, just makes the dial look more crowded

blue bezel sub with black dial is supposedly white gold...?

 

[typerpinoy]

Op41?? Nice

 

[23soles]

Agree on the double batons.
Of course the blue is white gold.. Damn

 

[rfx45]

yellows an "interesting" choice
