40mm Submariner vales to skyrocket
I am looking for a new Submariner 40mm date at UK AD but cant find one currently.Could a new 43mm Submariner with the new movement will be showcased at Basel 2018?

Rolex's Motivation
Most know that Rolex SA is owned by the private Hans Wilsdorf Foundation, which is registered as a charity and does not pay corporate income taxes. The foundation is a trust which will survive in perpetuity and will continue to be funded as long as Rolex is making a profit. (Side question: could the trust ever decide to sell Rolex?)All profits go into the trust and no person benefits from the profits (other than salaries paid).

I wanted something dressier and I was eyeing the datejust II as my first Rolex but it was too big on my 6.5 inch wrist and I thought the DJ36 was nice but I was in my late twenties so I thought I'd get it when I'm a bit older and wiser. As soon as the DJ41 was announced in two tone I was smitten by the way it wore and thought that if Rolex releases it in steel it would be the one, and I jumped on it as soon as I got my hands on one.What do you guys think? I can't keep both but I can choose only 2 out of the 3; BLNR, sub no date and DJ41.I tried posting pictures but for some reason I can't do it on Tapatalk but wi
