Good evening everyone.

Today marks 11 years since the Great East Japan Earthquake. Once again, I would like to express my heartfelt sympathy to those who were affected by the disaster and my deepest condolences to those who lost their lives.

Now, without further ado, there is only one month left until the new releases that will be exciting the watch industry.

This time

[Rolex][Rolex] "GMT Master II" "Ref. 126711CHNR" made with unique ERG (Everose gold)

The newly added black and brown two-tone bezel is a ceramic insert bezel made with a unique technology, and the color scheme is expressed, resulting in a calm and luxurious color. Equipped with the new generation movement "Cal.3285" completely developed and manufactured by Rolex, and using the unique ERG (Everose gold), this watch has been extremely popular since its release.

2019
"Sea-Dweller"
"Ref.126603" SS/18KYG

The first combination model of the Sea-Dweller, the Ref. 126603, was released in 18KYG (yellow gold) Rolesor.

This watch has an attractive design, with the "SEA-DWELLER" lettering displayed in a gold color that matches the Rolesor, creating a sense of luxury and unity throughout the watch. In terms of functionality, it is not only waterproof to a depth of 1,220m, but also equipped with the new movement "Cal.3235", which combines a 70-hour power reserve and excellent magnetic resistance, making it the most powerful practical watch.

2020
Submariner
"Ref.126613LB" SS/18KYG

The Submariner Ref. 126613LB has a beautiful vibrant blue color.

This is the successor to the "Ref.116613LB" and is equipped with the new movement "Cal.3235", which has evolved to have high magnetic resistance, shock resistance, and a power reserve of approximately 70 hours. The dial lettering has been changed from gold to white, and a new blue dial has been created. Commonly known as the "blue sub", this is one of the most popular and well-known combination models out there.

2021
Explorer I
"Ref.124273" SS/18KYG

The first combination model of the Explorer I, Ref. 124273, which was released last year and became a hot topic.

The first combination model, which added a refined essence to the universal design that has remained unchanged throughout the long history of the Explorer I, quickly became popular. The case diameter has returned to 36mm for the first time in 11 years, from 39mm for the previous generation "Ref. 214270". On the other hand, the movement is newly equipped with "Cal. 3230", making it even more practical.

This year's forecast model

Sorry for keeping you waiting! From here on, I, Commit TV's Yagi, will be announcing the new combination models that I predict. These are just my own predictions, but I have also created detailed images (thanks to the IT team!) so I hope you enjoy reading them.

"Daytona"
"Ref.116501" SS/18KERG

The first one is the new combination model of the "King of Rolex" "Daytona" "Ref. 116501"

"It'll definitely be cool if it comes out," is a prediction that is full of wishful thinking (laughs). The elegance of the 18KERG (Everose Gold) matches the perfect design of the Daytona, making it sure to be the best combination model ever! In fact, the 18KERG (Everose Gold) is already available in solid gold, so there's a good chance that a combination model will be released! I'll list it as one of the watches I'm looking forward to this year.

"Air King"
"Ref.126903" SS/18KYG

The second is the Air King combination model "Ref. 126903," which is rumored to be the model most likely to be discontinued this year.

The dial design itself may be renewed, but I expect that the new model will be a combination model with 18KYG (yellow gold) in addition to SS (stainless steel). I hope that the Rolex crown mark and indexes will be gold, and that it will have a luxurious and elegant finish like the combination model of the Sea-Dweller.

Explorer II
"Ref.226571" SS/18KERG

The third model we would like to introduce is the combination model "Explorer II" "Ref. 226571" that was released last year.

When the new model was announced last year, there were no major changes in design, which was a bit disappointing for Rolex fans, so I was hoping that Rolesor would be introduced this year! However, I actually created an image of a white dial with 18K gold (Everose gold), and it looked really cool! (laughs) I'm being greedy and making the black dial 18K gold (yellow gold), with different combination materials for each dial! That might be interesting.

summary

What did you think.

It's fun to predict new releases (laughs). To be honest, I get excited thinking about how great it would be if new models like this were released one after another. Of course, the market price fluctuates wildly, and there's a lot of attention being paid to them, but as a watch lover, I just hope that great models will come out.

Once again, I hope that by reading this article, you will become interested in Rolex's new releases and in luxury watches.

see you!
