Basel 2013
« on: February 27, 2013, 11:31:38 AM »
What do the forum members think Rolex will do in Basel World 2013?  Rolex never seem to change a lot however over the last few years we have seen a progressive move to larger watches.  DD2 DJ2 Explorer2 etc.  I am a regular TRF member less so here (sorry but there never seems to be anything on the Members classifieds  :-[ ) but the growth areas for the rolex brand remain in Asia where there is an arguement that larger wrist watches have a more limited market here.  What do you guys think?

I guess no one ever expected to see a 5mm jump on the DJ2, a 4mm jump on the YM2 and other increases.   I wouldn't write anything off

Maybe Seiko will replace the 9F6x HEQ calibres?  Last year is the 20th anniversary of the family, and LEs were released.
