I think the sub case will stay the same, it’s still too new, but I agree with new movements. My gut feeling tells me it’s the Explorer II that will get an overhaul, but I have no clue what they will do. Personally, I’d like to see it back in a 40mm case, and with a ceramic bezel. I’ve seen the Explorer in 40 and I hope they keep making the 42 I had the 42, and the 40. The original had better proportions IMHO. I want a 42 with the maxi case and orange hand of the 42, with ceramic bezel, in a 40mm case. Basically a 40mm copy of the 42 with a ceramic bezel.

Based on what I’ve seen in person on a similar gentleman, I believe the 42 would look more proportional on me.

They should add a 40 version. How’s that?

I’d like to see the Explorer ll in the 40 size but I’m not sure about a ceramic bezel. Black on black would probably look OK but I think a black bezel on the Polar would ruin it. Just my .02...
Addendum..I would actually just like to see a Polar Explorer ll IRL.. try finding one at an AD these days.
I’m interested to see what Tudor brings forth. Pelagos GMT, new colours for the Pelagos, green or brown? Maybe refresh the Style line up..

Oh great, looks like they finally might be releasing the jubilee for the GMTs AFTER I get my BLNR.
As far as WISH LIST items, I wish they’d make the oysterflex with a glide lock clasp an “accessory” that could be purchased afterwards for anyone as a summer option. Plant that bug in their ear while you are there Chip.

Interesting. Original LV ran 2003-2010. 7 years. Ceramic LV comes out in 2010, and after 7 years it becomes impossible to find. Coincidence?
I think the LV is gone.
