Thank you for tuning in.
This is Eric Rivera here.
So I'm gonna be going over my Baselworld prediction for Rolex in 2020.
Now we're getting close to that time, you know, and they're gonna be releasing real
soon what's it gonna be, so early today I'm out.
I'm working.
Shout out to everybody out there, working, trying to get there, whether it is a goal
or the next watch or something, keep it going.
You will get there!
Just continue working.
So I've been hearing a lot of chatter about what could possibly be released this year
from Rolex, OK?
This is coming from inside sources that I have that are well, well connected with the
owners of ADs and stuff like that.
O f course guys, don't hold me to it, alright?
I don't wanna be crucified for having a wrong prediction because after all, they are just
predictions.
But I've been hearing a lot of rumors and stuff about what could possibly be released
this year from Rolex, alright?
So one of the first things that I've been hearing and I predict is possible is a Submariner
yellow gold in green, which is pretty much just a green Hulk.
I mean, I wouldn't doubt it because nowadays I feel like Rolex's solution to everything
is just slap a green dial on it and call it a day, you know?
So, I don't know.
I mean, in theory it might look nice, but I guess we'll have to see exactly what it
looks like if this happens.
I've heard a couple of people say this and some inside sources and we're not talking
about pictures just going around on Instagram, because those have been going around already
for about three years.
But that being said, what I would like to see now that we're talking about that yellow
gold with the green play, would be...a yellow gold Sky-Dweller with the green dial just
like the Daytona, would actually be pretty nice.
I think that that would be a good combination and would look killer.
So, you know, I don't know if we'll be blessed with that, but I almost think I would like
that better than the Sub.
So another thing that I've been hearing a lot of is that the Daytonas are gonna come
out this year, all the gold Daytonas, I'm sure they're gonna start maybe with one color,
maybe they'll just do both the white rose and the yellow, but that they're supposed
to come out with ceramic bezels.
I really like that idea.
I think that the idea of a yellow gold Daytona with a black ceramic bezel and black dial
is gonna look hard.
I mean, that's gonna look nice.
I like that idea.
I've heard that that's what it's gonna be, that the other Daytona is discontinued and
now they're gonna be only ceramic bezel.
I like that idea, you know?
One of the major pitfall or Achilles Heel of the the Daytonas in gold is that the bezels
are very soft.
They're not very forgiving.
I mean, you give it a couple of hits or nicks and they're done.
You can't really resurface that area without affecting the numbers.
So, the ceramic bezel gives it a lot more durability.
Yes, if you hit the ceramic bezel hard enough, it could chip or crack, but then again, if
you were to hit a gold bezel that hard anyways, you'd be done as well, so I look forward to
that.
I think it's gonna look good whether it's in white gold, the rose gold, will probably
be really nice if they did like a chocolate bezel, kind of like the platinum, but with
the chocolate dial.
Who knows what they're gonna do?
They know what they're doing.
I mean, I believe in obviously all the choices that they make as far as taste and design,
but the Daytona ceramic bezel I have a strong feeling that that's gonna be coming.
On to the GMT.
Last year came out the Batman with the jubilee band, which again, I'm not crazy about it.
I'm never gonna say it's an ugly watch because how can you hate a Rolex sports model in general
if you're a watch guy or a Rolex fan like I am, but you know, I think that when they
came out with that watch and they discontinued the Batman in Oyster, leaves it now perhaps
maybe a perfect moment to come out with the Coca Cola, the black and red bezel in Oyster.
I think that that would be ideal.
I'm hoping because I'm a fan of the Coke colors.
So, I think it would be a good play.
I think it would be very proper, you know the Batman came and went.
I mean, us in the hobby, they're still hot.
But you know, the Batman kind of fizzled down, so I think that now we kind of left you in
a void of an Oyster bi-colored bezel GMT and the black and red would actually be a great
option right now.
You see, that's something that I would really like for myself to tell you the truth, that
they made a black and red GMT, I think it would be kick ass, you know?
I don't think I would see a GMT in an Oysterflex strap, but then again you know, you never
know what they're doing nowadays, you know?
Rolex has fully embraced the whole rubber strap game and with the release of that Yacht-Master
last year in the bigger case, I was actually quite surprised.
I had the chance to try one on and they're actually really nice.
I like that watch a lot.
So gotta work hard, you know?
Just like everybody that's out there, see if I can add that to the collection and just
keep building from there.
Alright so, we really won't know until all these things come out, you know?
Rolex and these companies seem to be very secret and wanna kind of like entice us and
leave us with these anticipation of what will come out.
Another question I wanna raise is the Submariner.
What are they gonna do with the Sub?
Are they gonna make a small tweak in the movement or maybe just something on the clasp and say
that the all new Submariner has been released with just a different reference number?
I mean, they possibly could.
It's an easy play for them, which also makes me think, will they come out with the solid,
rose gold version of the Sub with the blue-on-blue?
I mean, we all know that would be killer, but it also would be killer for the sales
of the GMT, which leads me to believe, wouldn't it be really cool if they came out with a
Submariner in gold with an Oysterflex strap.
That would be really cool if we actually got one of those, you know?
I don't know.
I would want one.
I don't know if everybody else would want one and I don't know if they are gonna do
that.
So again, this is a mixture of prediction and what I would like for Rolex to do this
year.
So one of the watches that I think everybody is ready for and I actually put it as one
of my predictions for last year 2019 was the two-tone Daytona in rose gold.
It's just one of those combinations that I just don't see why they haven't released it,
you know?
I put it for one last year and I was quite surprised that they didn't.
There was no inside information.
I had no leads on it.
I just figured it would be obvious by now they would provide the customers with that.
People want it.
You're gonna tell me that everybody that has a two-tone Daytona wouldn't want a rose two-tone
Daytona?
I mean, one for all the girls are gonna love it.
I mean, ladies are gonna be buying those watches left and right and it's obvious that nowadays
women are buying men's watches and they know that.
That's why they do some of these watches in combinations that could appeal more for women,
but I'm hoping that this year we finally get that, because I feel that that watch would
be a success in sales.
My only thing would be that if by now if they came out with it, with the ceramic bezel,
Meh!
You know, it might not be as cool.
I think it would have been better with the rose gold bezel.
Alright guys, so these are predictions and I'm hoping that I can at least hit a couple
of those.
You already know the list of what I would like to see and two watches that I've heard
that are gonna be for sure coming out.
I mean, nothing is for sure.
Everyone's been calling me all year saying, “Hey Eric.
What do you think is gonna happen with Rolex next?
Do you think they're gonna come out with a watch?
Do you think the prices are gonna go down?”
It's like look, it's gotten so hard right now to predict what's going on, that I'm on
almost on the same seat as you guys, just watching the show as we go.
So comment below about my predictions and what you think will be coming out this year
for 2020 Baselworld, and don't forget to hit the notifications bell till it looks like
this.
