The most exciting watch event of the year, Watches and Wonders 2024 is coming up next week. This year’s event features 54 exhibiting Maisons showing off their latest timepieces and novelties, including the likes of Rolex, Tudor, Montblanc, Grand Seiko, TAG Heuer, Zenith, and many more.
As Watches and Wonders is a week away, we don’t know whatbest watchesare going to be announced just yet. But if (like me) you’re eager for some insights, I spoke to Rolex expert,Danny ShahidfromDiamond Watches Londonwho gave his predictions on what Rolex, Tudor and Patek Philippe could have in store for Watches and Wonders 2024.
Rolex Yacht-Master II overhaul
During last year’s Watches and Wonders,Rolex released many new noveltiesspread across its Daytona, Yacht-Master, GMT-Master, Explorer, and Oyster Perpetual collections, including anemoji-themed watch. This year, Shahid is expected to see a complete overhaul of the Yacht-Master II, one of Rolex’s most ‘love it or hate it watches’.

The Rolex GMT-Master with the red and blue ‘Pepsi’ bezel has been exceedingly popular with watch collectors. But Shahid thinks Pepsi could be on the way out to make room for its rival, Coca Cola. “There are question marks over the future of the Pepsi and Batman/girl models… the fact that the Pepsi is said to have a 90% failure rate in manufacturing because the blue and red in the bezel bleed together at the border has naturally resulted in rumours about the variant’s discontinuation,” explains Shahid.
With this in mind, “the majority of collectors believe that Rolex will replace it with the black and red bezel Coke variant that was initially launched 40 years ago as the ‘Fat Lady’. Further adding fuel to this fire, Rolex filed a patent in February on a red and black ceramic bezel ring.”

Speaking of Tudor, the brandrevealed a new set of Black Bay watchesat last year’s Watches and Wonders, and updates to the collection are hotly anticipated from this year’s event. Shahid says that “predicted changes include a thinner case, the removal of the crown tube that gives the Black Bay its prominent winding crown, and the inclusion of Tudor’s new T-Fit clasp. Several models don’t feature the clasp, such as the BB58 and the Black Bay GMT, both relatively unchanged since first introduced.”
