OK, I have discovered my perfect Rolex and it doesn’t exist.

Yea wait 10 plus years for 1mm…… hard pass

I personally don't want to see any Rolex watch move up to 41mm. But it seems that is the future. First the Datejust, then the Sub and OP... I'm very surprised the new Explorer didn't get the 41mm case (or at least the option).

I thought 39mm OP and Explorer were perfect, in fact, I'd like to see the Sub at 39mm like the BB58. That would be the perfect size for my wrist.

We could discuss this for about 30 threads but it just seems… “top heavy” on my wrist, and I really don’t like the appearance of the C bezel. It seems like the numbers are two big and the bezel too wide. My sub feels and wears better. Yes, I know, it is only one millimeter difference, (maybe not even that much) but I just find the aspect, or ratio of the watches’ dimensions perfect. It seems to wear flatter on my wrist too.
I don’t have dimensions to back this up, honestly just going off of feel and appearance.

So… the answer is obvious… A 41 MM GMT would be my perfect watch. All Rolex has to do is take the 3285, put it in the 41 sub case and there it is!!

Rolex? Are you listening? What are you thoughts, would you like to see the GMT move up to the 41 case or leave it as is?

Sounds like you are describing another watch I am familiar with...

To me 40 and 41mm are about the same.

I will agree with others that the 39mm explorer is a great size, and I also don’t understand why Rolex went back down to the 36mm on this one???

41mm all black gmt with AR on the inside would be the perfect watch for me, hope they introduce it at some point

Here’s what I’d do: keep the sub for when home, add either Tudor gmt or yema Superman gmt for travel. Then just forget about the imaginary perfect Rolex, enjoy the corvette and await the next Tumi sale.

The perfect rolex does not exist yet. It would be the following:

Take the current YM1.

Put a ceramic bezel on it.

Give it a glidelock but somehow keep clasp the same size.

Make it a black sub no date.

Can't think of anything better!

Try a new black Explorerll or a Tudor Gmt. You could be waiting forever for a 41mm Gmt from Rolex.

Hmmm. I’m not entirely sure a 41mm GMT is necessary.

40mm is the sweet spot I think, but I’m sure if one were to be released every one would be all over it in a heartbeat.

Personally I’d rather see Rolex release a ‘heritage’ line of references for the golden oldies like the Sub and the GMT. Obviously you’d never be able to acquire one without donating a lung or some other body part.

They’d sell more of those over and above anything else they could come up with just by adding 1mm to the case.

This would be a stunner! Home run and not too hard to gear up production.
