If it is, then it won't be "launching 4th august" coz it's already launched like a couple of years back.
It's something else.

hanz079,

Thanks for the clarification.

The picture shows like a watch with bezel. My guess is either a sub or GMT.

But anyway we will know next Monday.

Its a excellent way of a marketing strategy.

Another highly unlikely scenario as well IMHO.
If Rolex did that, it will be a smack in the face for the current white gold sub owners.

My guess is deepsea with blue dial, since they just launch the new sea dweller 4000, they might do something different on it.

Han, I wish you are wrong, as the blue face WG Sub is selling like.....100 pieces a year?

Is gonna be different in the look department as well, the WG version is with polished center link, while the SS Sub should be matte finishing throughout.

Well, I am looking at this purely as a neutral.
If I was one of the buyers of the WG Blue Sub, and they do come up with a SS Blue Sub with brushed centre links, I'd still be pretty pissed won't I?
I find guesstimating the sales figures for the Blue Sub is irrelevant, it was never meant to be a high volume selling model...
Same goes with the SS Pepsi Ceramic.
Most is still thinking a SS version is inevitable, but for me... nope... Won't happen. Even me myself wanted a SS one... but gotta be realistic here.


But, at this point in time, we can only speculate. 3 days later and we will know.  ;)

If... and it's a BIG IF Rolex does release a SS Blue Sub, then the general feeling of Rolex will do a SS Pepsi will be in full swing.
I am expecting hell to break loose and ppl are gonna say it's the best thing since sliced bread... hahaha
But overall, if Rolex does make that move, somehow I think it will not go down well with certain quarters of the Rolex buying crowd (the high net worth ones)

Maybe Rolex is just launching one of the models announced this year during the Baselworld 2014? I am guessing its the launch date for the WG Pepsi GMT II Ceramic.

Rolex is the Hulk Hogan equivalent in horology. Might not be the best, but definitely the most influential, mega rock star like kind of status.

When Rolex change colour (Hulk Hogan tear off his shirt), the whole world scream their lungs out  :Laughing_on_floor: :Laughing_on_floor:
