As Watches & Wonders 2025 approaches, the watch world has been buzzing with excitement, especially with several images circulating of new Rolex models that have reportedly been leaked. While we can’t guarantee the authenticity of all the leaks, credible sources suggest that some of these models could very well be making their official debut at the event. Let’s break down these Rolex leaks 2025 and analyse what we know so far, including which models are real and which might be fake.
Are the Leaked Rolex Images Real or Fake?
Before we dive into the specific models, let’s address the leaked images themselves. These photos appear to have been captured from a screen, which explains their somewhat low resolution. Interestingly, blurry images like these have historically been more reliable, as polished renders often look too artificial. That said, some inconsistencies exist within these images, such as differing date numbers (28 and 1) on various watches, which is an unusual detail for renders of models that would supposedly be released at the same time. Despite this, these discrepancies may not be significant enough to discredit the images entirely.
The images themselves follow Rolex’s classic design aesthetic: coloured backgrounds suggesting environments like a race track or the ocean. However, one thing stands out: the combinations of existing popular models seem odd, making it hard to judge if these leaks are genuine or simply an attempt to mislead.
The Tiffany Blue Daytona
This model is a yellow gold Rolex Daytona with a turquoise Tiffany blue dial on an Oysterflex strap. The colour combination is quite unexpected for Rolex, and while it’s not our personal favourite, the image does appear genuine.
Fake or Real? Real.
The Green Dial Sprite
This one is a green dial Rolex GMT-Master II with a left-hand drive configuration, reminiscent of the Rolex Submariner Hulk. While it’s a bold move for Rolex, we’re not sold on the idea—there’s a lot of green here. A black dial version might be more appealing.
Fake or Real? Real.
The Green Dial Sky-Dweller
The green dial Rolex Sky-Dweller in full yellow gold feels like a plausible Rolex move, even if it’s not something we would personally buy. The image looks authentic, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see it unveiled at Watches & Wonders 2025.
Fake or Real? Real.
The Land-Dweller
This new model, the Land-Dweller, features a 70s-style Oyster Quartz case with an integrated Jubilee bracelet. This combination feels odd and not in line with Rolex’s usual design ethos. Moreover, the use of steel, rose gold, and platinum (but no yellow gold) raises more questions. This feels like a red herring, an attempt to throw off watch enthusiasts.
Fake or Real? Fake.
The Full Rose Gold Rootbeer with a Stone Dial
A full rose gold Rolex GMT-Master II – Rootbeer with what seems to be a stone dial (possibly a tiger eye dial) is another leaked image that raises skepticism. While Rolex could potentially experiment with such a dial, it feels out of place, especially considering the high-end nature of the Rootbeer model.
Fake or Real? Fake.
In Conclusion
At first glance, we were quick to dismiss these leaks as fakes. However, after examining the images closely and consulting credible sources, it’s becoming clear that some of these leaks might actually be real, albeit with a few red herrings thrown in. Still, we won’t know for sure until the official unveiling at Watches & Wonders 2025. If these leaks are accurate, some of the choices Rolex has made for its 2025 lineup are a bit underwhelming, but only time will tell.
