New Submariner?
-
My favorite Grand Seiko is the 231: hand wound, no date. My only "complaint" is that at 37.3mm it's a bit large. If this were closer to the 30mm Calatrava 96 it'd be as perfect as the 25oz 634S.

Picked this up. Simple watch, but love the whole blackout thing

Bought from original owner and treated to new sapphire crystal, hand relume, new movement,New gaskets and isofrane strap as fitted when new.Tag Heuer 980.23n deep dive watch

@Graeme My thoughts also. Considering that the Sea-Dweller has been updated 3 times in the last 10 years lends one to think that the Submariner is overdue.
Rolex are moving onto the 32xx series of movements, so I'd guess that it's the Submariner's turn this year. The Explorer and Milgauss are also overdue, but 2021 is the Explorer 2's fiftieth anniversary, so that might be next year.
Of course, the odds of scoring any of these at RRP is slim…

Ouch!
Funny story: I purchased my first Rolex (Sea-dweller) from a Jeweller about 7 years ago. The sales person was telling me about how they can rebuild the watch in situations such as your's. I was new to this and asked how she knew, and she gave me the backstory.
Apparently, she caught her then boyfriend cheating on her. She took his prized possession (Rolex) and smashed the hell out of it with a hammer. I guess he sent the Rolex (what was left of it) back to the service centre for repair, and they returned a practically new watch.

Rolex have just announced the shiny, new Submariner. No doubt it'll be available soon at your local grey market dealer at twice RRP.
The case size has been bumped up to 41 mm, which has got Hodinkee readers reaching for the pitchforks to storm Rolex's HQ; the lugs have been slimmed down; and the movement is upgraded to the 3230 / 3235.
They Oyster Perpetual has also gained a couple of new 41 mm models, again with the new 3230 movement. I quite like the silver dial version.

I have always dreamed of owning a blue bezel sub - or a Pepsi.
Knowing they bumped it to 41mm is actually a plus for me, as my Sinn 41mm 104 is practically perfect sizing for me.
Not today… but maybe one day [emoji4]

blue bezels are white gold and will always cost more than the regular steel ones. they are definitely not as sought after as their steel counterparts but i do believe they have a lower production quota which makes up for the rarity of it..
i'll be interested to see if slight increase in the size makes it more desirable.. the only good news i can take from their announcement is the movement upgrade which gives a lot more in terms of power reserve..
