It's going to be pretty much impossible to get, but if you must try, I would go there asap and tell them what you know about the new releases (they already know) and what you want.
The regular black one looks good too. Surely that would be the easiest to obtain.
Scrolling the thread seems there's a lot of new colors of the oyster perpetual.

Try calling then if that's all you can do. All of the stainless ones will be very hard to get, including the black.
Also looks like the Hulk might be discontinued as it doesn't have a page for the updated one.

Think I'll just stick with my black two tone sub. Really no need for another black dial submariner. The Hulk looked better than the kermit imo. Don't get me wrong I'd still love to have one. The BLNR is still on the wish list though, probably just as unlikely to get it.

I heard from a local AD that the store in Cozumel gets a lot of the hidden gem/sought after watches.

So far, I haven’t seen a no-date sub with blue dial even on WG though. I may be wrong. Regardless, that would be a beautiful configuration IMO.

Fake and ghey.
Submariner updates bringing the movement “Up to date” to match the Tudor black bay power reserve and water depth.
A sky dweller with ugly rubber straps
36mm datejusts. Great for the sloots.
And new 41mm oyster perpetuals with new colors. I mean cool if I was in the market for one but since Im fuking not, back to just waiting to purchase my dj41 on jubilee

- Great idea adding a 41mm model. This solidifies it as the Rolex Aqua Terra. Offering it both in 36 and 41 ensures they'll sell like hot cakes as it will be a lot of young men and women's first rolex.
- I also like the subtle dual indices at 3 and 9 oclock.
- But then i'm like "what in the god damn fuk?" when i saw the colors. that green, yellow, red, and tiffany's blue. But whatever I won't hate, wasn't in the market for the watch to begin with, sure it looks very crisp in person.
- Datejust they just took a phatchit on by only updating 31mm models.
- Submariner, i suppose i'll have to see a new and old one side by side. The lugs never seemed that bad to me but I guess it was to some people.
Edit: I will say this. Rolex was smart in updating the OP to 41mm, updating the dial, and adding various colors. This will probably result in a wave of new profit on a piece that was their bottom feeder without releasing a new submariner color that would only result in more lowstock/waitlist fukery.

I talked all the trash but watch me go into the AD this December, start comparing the smooth bezel dj41 next to the new OPs and end up walking out with the OP lol. I have to hand it to em, that "silver" dial with the goldish indices and markers looks really fuking clean. at least on the website.

What website would ya'll use to buy preowned watches? I got my Omega from Crown and Caliber, and I was very pleased with dealing with them as I live in GA and they're based in Atlanta. Also was cool they told you the date of the watch, and whether it came with box and papers on there. But would like a couple others to regularly check as well.
The only other site I know of is WatchBox and it seems like their prices are more outrageous than Crown and Caliber, and on most of the Rolex subs they didn't even say how old the watch was..

Those are the only ones I would even consider. Watchbox is so expensive only because Tim Mosso is in their back pocket and "you buy the seller".
also LOL, congrats to all you Hulk owners. Those chits rocketed up to 20k to 25k in the after market. Originally a $5500 watch i believe. Mind = Blown

I havent bought something from him yet but I know a bunch of people who have and have nothing but great things to say

AD last week told me that they were told to expect to be able to receive the new watches easily by the end of the year. Thought was they were "prepared" for production back in march when Bazel gets cancelled.
Im with you though….those OPs might be a nice "color" pop to have in the collection. And im curious what they look like in person. If it's sunburst dials, im in trouble.
