I believe a new Yachtmaster will be announced.
Most models in the Rolex lineup have been upgraded except the Yachtmaster. (Yachtmaster II doesn't count  ;D )
As for the Sky-Dweller, Rolex have only just registered the patent on the name, I am thinking most probably just a teaser this year and full info the next year.
My guess lah...

Some are guessing that it's not a white bezel, but it's a subdial...

Rollie has the Sea-dweller. After getting the bottom of it, I think Rollie want to aim sky high.
Hence the name Sky Dweller.

yeah...the teaser seemed to indicate another GMT? red triangle and hourly marker on bezel...
if is the return of the white GMT, it will be interesting....only a small numbers were released the first time, am I right? 

or dare I say...the return of the moon phase in a Rollie?? :o

Rolex is all about robustness. Unless a complication calibre meets that requirement, I highly doubt we'll be seeing any modern Rolex with complications.

After the leaked news of the 216570, they seem to be doing quite a good job in keeping anticipation high and everything air tight.

That looks like a non-rotating GMT bezel. Maybe an Explorer III???  ???

Rolex doesn't re-issue an old model unlike Pam. the closest it has gotten recently is the new Exp2 with the orange hand.
