The website says unveiling on the 24th April...
Not long now.

But based on this pic... what say you guys?

Pic is from Rolex website.

My take is this.

Fat lugs = SubC or GmtIIc
Polished Centre Links = GmtIIc
Rotating Bezel = SubC or GmtIIc

Nothing much can be done to a SubC at the moment, I am guessing a new look GmtIIc... a pepsi or coke ceramic bezel.
All hell breaks loose!!!
That's wishful thinking.

The last time Rolex updated their GMT Master is in 2007 (116710). I think there is possibility of a facelift. larger hour marker perhaps.
Finger crossed for a pepsi bezel.

This website says it's a Yacht-Master:

http://www.cpp-luxury.com/new-launches-at-baselworld-2013/

"ROLEX – Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master, a sailors’ watch introduced in 1992, undergoes a major facelift this year in both its design and technology. The new model, which has an Oyster case made of a patented alloy called Rolesium, and a cool, blue dial with brushed sunray pattern."

Properly GMT II Ceramic coke or pepsi bezel with 42mm case...

I have no imagination

What happened to the news of a new Daytona??

rockdaman · « **Reply #6 on:** April 24, 2013, 12:50:38 PM »

should be yatch master.

jacky8888 · « **Reply #7 on:** April 24, 2013, 12:59:00 PM »

horomas · « **Reply #8 on:** April 24, 2013, 01:03:45 PM »

GMT II or YM

Godzillaz · « **Reply #9 on:** April 24, 2013, 01:44:56 PM »

I remember seeing a patent file by Rolex for a fly-back chrono mechanism ... ... maybe we will see a new Daytona?

I thought that YM was launched last year?
Already on sale and quite a few owners already I see...

takashi78 · « **Reply #11 on:** April 24, 2013, 02:05:35 PM »

Didnt read this news anywhere before.

Godzillaz · « **Reply #12 on:** April 24, 2013, 02:31:18 PM »

YM2, perhaps.

This patent Tyler?

hanz079 · « **Reply #14 on:** April 24, 2013, 02:35:27 PM »

If it is indeed a YMII, then my wallet can breathe a sigh of relief...

takashi78 · « **Reply #15 on:** April 24, 2013, 02:49:09 PM »

I thought a YM2 already exist?

munyew90 · « **Reply #16 on:** April 24, 2013, 06:01:28 PM »

Nice really nice, wonder what is the RRP for the yact master 2, more achievable compare to the previous three version.

davidtth · « **Reply #21 on:** April 24, 2013, 07:25:39 PM »

CKL1213 · « **Reply #22 on:** April 24, 2013, 07:49:13 PM »

is it the picture or could be my eyes, somehow I feel that the casing for Daytona is slightly different

Calibr · « **Reply #23 on:** April 24, 2013, 07:49:26 PM »

Very nice GMT II blk/blue and the SS YMII!

The Daytona 950 platinum is probably priced at the Skydweller level - out of reach for many of us!

G.MAC · « **Reply #24 on:** April 24, 2013, 07:51:33 PM »

disappointed...I expected a cerachrom steel daytona or a pepsi gmt2c
