Less than two months… This is the time left before the main watch fair of the year, also known as Watches and Wonders Geneva 2025 – starting April 1st, 2025. Something that has become more than a tradition but a highly anticipated event in our yearly publication calendar, the team has gotten creative to predict what Rolex – undoubtedly the brand that generates the most anticipation – might unveil. In about a month and a half, the Crown will present its 2025 collection. And so, it’s time to look into our crystal ball and imagine which models will be unveiled. Like our predictions for 2014 – 2015 – 2016 – 2017 – 2018 – 2019 – 2020 – 2021 – 2022 – 2023 – 2024 – we’ve been hard at work guessing and designing the future Rolex collections. Here are our Rolex Predictions 2025, the Swiss made Rolex replica watches we anticipate Rolex might present this year.
Please note that this article is a figment of our imagination. These are just predictions. Nothing is official. It is based on our own expectations and analyses.
As most of you might know, for the past 10 years, these predictions have become a ritual for us. We genuinely love doing them and know that you, our readers, enjoy them too. What started as a fun discussion between some of our team members – we are, first and foremost, just like you, watch lovers – has become a more serious exercise, and we take great care in producing realistic renderings and accurate portrayals of potential models. However, things are becoming increasingly complex, and imagining what Rolex might launch isn’t as easy as it was. The Crown used to be more predictable, with a well-oiled plan of action regarding the renewal of its main collections. Yet, for the past few years, high quality Rolex fake watches has revealed a more creative streak. Think about the Emoji-theme Day-Date or the Celebration Dial Oyster Perpetual. In the same vein, we would never have predicted a full gold Deepsea or a guilloché dial at Rolex. Things have changed; Rolex isn’t as conservative as it used to be. For that reason, this exercise in predictions is trickier but still a lot of fun.
So, let’s move on to the reason you are here: what we predict, suspect, or expect Rolex to launch. Welcome to our Rolex Predictions 2025.
70 years of the GMT-Master… A Blueberry-inspired Platinum edition (ref. 126716)
As we explained in this article covering all the important anniversaries to be celebrated in 2025, as well as in our in-depth history article about the GMT-Master collection, the brand’s traveller’s watch was first presented in 1955 and is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year. And because of this, we are betting on at least one celebratory edition… But because we were inspired, we actually imagined two. Before we move to the cheap replica Rolex watches, which everybody has been asking for for years, we have something a little bolder in mind.
Meet our vision of an unprecedented platinum GMT-Master II. And yes, there’s a bit of a “blueberry” inspiration here. So, let’s unwrap the reasons behind this watch. First of all, platinum has never existed on the GMT-Master II, and this 70th anniversary could be a great occasion to have this material in the collection – in the same vein as Rolex presented a platinum Daytona in 2013 for the 50th anniversary of the model. We don’t foresee any major changes since the UK 1:1 Rolex copy watches is already equipped with the recent calibre 3285 and all the brand’s refinements.
Now, we need to talk about the colour. It is well known that Rolex often associates platinum with light blue. However, we don’t expect an ice-blue sunray-brushed dial to be implemented on the GMT-Master II Platinum. Instead, we have gone for a lighter colour on the lower part of the bezel, combined with dark blue for the night-time section. As for the dial, we’re guessing it is the same dial that Rolex used on the 126719BLRO white gold Pepsi… Or, because it actually looks pretty stunning with this two-tone blue bezel, a silver meteorite dial.
Of course, this potential platinum perfect 2025 replica Rolex GMT-Master II reference 126716 watches (if we follow the brand’s nomenclature for the reference numbers, 6 is shorthand for platinum) could be available on the superb Jubilee bracelet or maybe on an Oyster bracelet. In any case, this revamp of the Blueberry GMT-Master in platinum would be incredibly appealing, positioning itself as the endgame GMT Rolex…
Time for the long-awaited GMT-Master II Coke… in White Gold (ref. 126719NRRO)
Next in line for our Rolex Predictions 2025 is a usual suspect, a watch that we and basically the entire watch-collecting community have been anticipating for years: a new Rolex GMT-Master II Coke bezel. Coinciding with the 70th anniversary of the collection this year, this could be the perfect time for Rolex to (finally) deliver what its fan base has been asking for so many years: a classic black-and-red bezel for its traveller’s watch.
However, Rolex being Rolex, we don’t see this best Rolex fake watches UK coming in a stainless steel case but instead in 18k white gold, making it the potential GMT-Master II reference 126719NRRO (or 126719RONR). It could also come alongside or as a replacement for the existing 126719BLRO (white gold Pepsi). That being said, we don’t expect many evolutions aside from the use of a new colour combination for the bezel, which would rely on a classic theme of the collection – primarily used during the 1980s – with a black upper section and a red lower section – hence the nickname “Coke” – and some red accents on the dial (GMT hand and name of the watch).
For the rest, this potential 2025 Rolex GMT-Master II White Gold Coke 126719NRRO would be identical to all other models in the collection, with a 40mm case housing the calibre 3285, and because of the sporty look of that bezel, we think an Oyster bracelet is more appropriate. So yes, we think it’s about time for the GMT Coke to resurface.
Stone Dials (malachite, lapis lazuli) for the Perpetual 1908
One of the biggest trends in the watch industry for the past two years has been the return of stone dials. They are everywhere. As you might know, top Rolex replica watches has a long history of stone dials, which have primarily appeared in the Day-Date collection but also on the Daytona or the Datejust. Also, if you’ve been following Rolex on social media recently, you might have seen that the brand has firmly focused its communication around its dial-making expertise. All in all, this could be a sign of the arrival of more stone dials in the collection.
And what could be better than the Swiss made fake Rolex Perpetual 1908 collection watches, a lineup that has already been treated to a guilloché dial, to herald the comeback of hard stones? For this reason, as part of our Rolex Predictions 2025, we have imagined a series of stone dials for Rolex’s elegant dress watch candidate, with malachite and lapis lazuli options – two classics that have existed in the past on the Day-Date and the Datejust. To give an additional twist to the watch in white or yellow gold cases, we’re pairing these textured green or blue dials with matching leather straps.
In addition to the introduction of stone dials on the luxury Rolex Perpetual 1908 super clone watches, we have made some mechanical modifications. Considering that these stones are complex materials to work with, we’re guessing the brand would have to create flat dials. This explains why we have changed the display of the Perpetual 1908 to a central hours-minutes-seconds instead of having a sub-seconds at 6 o’clock with a recessed sub-dial – which would be challenging to execute with these hard stones. That being said, the result is pretty spectacular and would make a worthy addition to the collection. Finally, the Perpetual 1908 Moonphase and Perpetual 1908 Dual-Time we imagined last year in our predictions could still be a possibility.
The Sea-Dweller 43 in RLX Titanium (ref. 126607)
If we look at the brand’s portfolio, one of the Rolex replica watches wholesale that has had the longest run without an update is the Sea-Dweller 43mm, a larger take on what used to be an evolution of the Submariner with more water-resistance. This watch (reference 126600) was first introduced in 2017 for the 50th anniversary of its creation, while a Rolesor edition was presented in 2019. Since then, nothing has changed for the single-red 43mm dive watch. It might be time for an update. And while we’re secretly hoping for a more compact version in line with the old 40mm SD4K (the reference 116600, as well as the neo-vintage 16600 or 16660), we don’t see the Crown succumbing to a smaller size. The move to a 43mm case was deliberate to separate the Sea-Dweller from its smaller sister, the Submariner.
So what could Rolex do to the Sea-Dweller 43mm to make it more desirable? We have a rather radical (or maybe not that much) idea: make it in RLX Titanium. Following the introduction of titanium on the Deepsea Challenge 126067 and the Yacht-Master 42 reference 226627, it wouldn’t be such a controversial idea. Not only this would separate this watch even more from the classic Submariner, but it would also make it far more comfortable, more instrument-looking and more resistant to corrosion.
So what have we done here? Besides the use of titanium for the case and the Oyster bracelet, which results in this darker, more tool-oriented look, we have added polished chamfers on the side – used on both the Deepsea Challenge and the YM42 Titanium and a hallmark of RLX titanium models – as well as a different bezel insert, which could be made in brushed ceramic. This would produce a fabulous matte, monochromatic style, perfectly in line with its vocation as a professional diving instrument.
As for the dial of this potential Swiss movements fake Rolex Sea-Dweller RLX Titanium reference 126607 watches, we have made a matte black dial (again, just like the Deepsea Challenge and the YM42) to enhance legibility and remain consistent with the overall matte look of the case and bracelet. Last but not least, just because we can, we have made it a double-red Sea-Dweller, a nod to the past, except that here, the second red line doesn’t mention “Submariner 2000” but is used for the depth rating. No changes inside the case, as the calibre 3235 is still a high-performance, perfectly up-to-date movement.
A smaller, Unisex Submariner 37mm collection
Moving from a high-performance dive watch to a more subtle take on the aquatic timepiece, we have decided, once more, to include a smaller take on the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Submariner replica watches for sale in our 2025 Rolex Predictions. We first introduced this idea in 2019, but considering the current trend for smaller watches and unisex models (watches that can easily be worn by men but also by women who don’t want something girly and paved with diamonds… and there are many), we have imagined a new Submariner 37mm. Something that Tudor has already done with the Black Bay 54.
The idea behind this potential Submariner 37mm is not just about a more compact case size or something vintage-looking (that wouldn’t be very Rolex); it is about a less instrument-oriented watch with a more luxurious and slimmer presence. For this reason, we have imagined its 37mm case to feature more polished elements than a classic 41mm Submariner – the lugs, for instance, but also the bracelet’s mid-links – as well as a case that could be around 10mm or 10.5mm in thickness, versus 12mm for the standard full-size Sub. For that, we have imagined a slightly reduced water-resistance of 200m or 660ft, which would remain sufficient for most recreational diving sessions but would allow for a thinner profile – slimmer caseband, slimmer crystal, slimmer caseback.
Looking more closely, this best quality copy Rolex Submariner 37mm watches would otherwise remain very close to the 41mm version, with a glossy black dial, large applied markers and a classic Mercedes handset. Due to the smaller case size, you can see that the date window and the Cyclops have been moved closer to the periphery of the dial, and, of course, the depth rating has been updated accordingly. We have imagined three versions of this potential Submariner 37mm: classic steel no-date with black dial and bezel, date version in steel with black dial and bezel, and finally, a slightly more feminine Rolesor edition using Everose gold on the hands/markers, bezel, crown and mid-links. All would be worn on an Oyster bracelet, as a Submariner should.
That being said, it would be relevant to also offer this smaller and more daily oriented version of the Submariner on a rubber bracelet – what the brand calls Oysterflex – to give it more versatility. Altogether, this could be an excellent opportunity to attract more women to the professional line of Rolex (which is currently very male-oriented) as well as offering something more compact to men who prefer smaller timepieces.
Our dream watches, the Explorer 36 and Explorer 40 Polar Dial
Our Rolex predictions wouldn’t be the same without our signature Explorer Polar Dial. We have been including these watches in our predictions ever since 2018 – without much luck, to be fully honest. And yes, we’re aware that the chances of seeing it being introduced by the Crown are low, but we’re still including the Polar Explorer 1 in our predictions, hoping that perhaps Rolex will finally listen.
The recipe is pretty simple. Take the current Explorer 36 reference 124270 and Explorer 40 reference 224270, keep everything identical – same case, movement, bracelet, handset – and simply create a mirror image of its black dial and turn it into a white “polar” dial version. The whole concept isn’t just a figment of our imagination since white dial Rolex Explorer replica watches UK wholesale have existed in the past – see this extremely rare example once auctioned by Christie’s, based on a vintage reference 6610. And even though this white dial Rolex Explorer will undoubtedly retain its unicorn status, we can still dream of it returning to standard production in a modern shape.
Since the discontinuation of the Oyster Perpetual 39 White Dial reference 114300, there hasn’t really been an alternative clean, sporty white dial watch in the collection. Dear Rolex, this is a great opportunity… Please make our dream Explorer Polar Dial a reality in 2025.
A full gold Explorer 36 (ref. 124278)
Staying on the topic of the Explorer, we are, once again, including the potentiality of a full gold Explorer 36 reference 124278 in our 2025 Rolex Predictions. While a few years ago, such a watch would have been considered almost a sacrilege, Rolex has been breaking the rules in recent years. First, there is already a Rolesor edition of the Rolex Explorer 36 in the collection, under the reference 124273. Second, after seeing a full gold Deepsea last year, we can’t be sure of anything now, and Rolex might simply release a gold version of its entire professional collection.
For that reason, and also because it looks pretty spectacular, we have imagined a full yellow gold edition of the Explorer 36, with a matching bracelet and a classic 3-6-9 glossy black dial with applied markers and hands in solid gold. Changes, other than the material, would remain minimal, and all specifications would be shared with the Swiss AAA fake Rolex Explorer 36 steel 124270 and Rolesor 124273 watches.
A jubilee bracelet for the GMT-Master II Root Beer (ref. 126711CHNR)
Finally, by popular demand, we have imagined a minimal update to the GMT-Master II 126711CHNR, the Rolesor edition with Everose gold accents and a black-and-chocolate ceramic bezel. Since its introduction in 2018, this modern take on the “Root Beer” concept has only been available with an Oyster bracelet. Considering the strong appeal of the Jubilee bracelet, we could easily imagine Rolex introducing it to this reference in addition to the classic 3-link bracelet. A minimal update, which could even be done silently. But one that would make the China Rolex replica watches site even more desirable.
