So what the hell else do YOU want from Rolex?

Speaking for myself.....

Picture this.....DIAL - Snow White beauty, as white as the driven snow and as white as the Vesteal Virgins from the Arabian Nights!!

Picture this.....BEZEL - Fluted, white gold!!

Picture this.....ROMANS - White gold Romans prancing around that gorgeous Snow White beauty!!

Picture this.....JUBILEE BRACELET - The new one in all STEEL.....with those mind-boggling, solid, shiny and polished centre links.....all matched up with that stunning concealed clasp!!

And now picture this.....all of the above put together to make up the new....



41 mm DATEJUST!!!

Get the picture?

That's what I want, Rolex......that's exactly what I want!!!

I have one....

They make fakes of them. This is a picture of the fake.

I know that they are essentially doing this in solid WG, but I'll never be able to afford that. They took away my hopes that Rolex would ever do this when they made the WG one.

I'd settle for some better lume. And a white-dialed GMT-II with Pepsi bezel.

Nice - but I think 39mm is better - smaller than the other sporties.

I'd like something similar to the DSSD without the additional and unneccessary writing on the watch, an integrated looking case design that was half again as thick and bulky so band and watch didn't look so mismatched, but retaining a sleek, muscular look. Keep all the great things about it like the matte dial and slightly domed crystal and price it realistically.

But after seeing what Rolex is bringing out, I'm not holding my breath. I guess I just want Rolex to design something that impresses me as much as the Omega PO I looked at recently.

I think I'll take one of those.

Updated Sub

I would like to see the Sub migrate to the IIc style case, add maxi-dial and ceramic bezel, and add the bracelet system of the SDDS.

Other than that, I don't want Rolex to do anything wacky and make it a 44mm case or as thick as a hockey puck.

The GMT IIc was a good evolution that didn't completely change the spirit of the early models. Please just give the Sub an updated look and don't head the direction of the latest fashion trends. If I wanted that I would collect Omegas.

And I say that with the greatest of love as someone who owns two Speedmasters.....
