The best Rolex that doesn't exist
I had 10 minutes to kill on photoshop today so I decided to make my dream Rolex into "reality"

Rose gold GMT with Jubilee bracelet, Yacht Master-esque case with curved lugs and the pepsi bezel.

If Rolex would ever do something like this it would honestly be the only watch that I'd ever want (I also made a CHNR version just in case you were wondering how it looks)

One man can dream ...

what's your dream Rolex that doesn't exist?

A blue dial SS Submariner. It’ll never ever happen, but since you asked, that would be mine.

The top one is too many colors and contrast for me.

was debating on that, my whole line of thought behind the pepsi version was to have a less baller SARU, which if I'm not mistaken keeps the rose gold hands and rose gold text, that's why I left it as it is.

Might also be too many colours all over the place with the red hand, but I ll try photoshop that when I have some more time

I would be surprised and very annoyed if Rolex doesn't do a CHNR on jubilee at some point, it looks way too good to never exist.

A while back, I think at least ten years ago, there was a 116610LN black Sub Date that someone had modified with the blue bezel and blue dial, so it was in essence what you are describing, albeit from a user modification. I am sure that the dial and bezel weren't easy or cheap to obtain, though I do recall seeing them come up from time to time on the FS board for accessories.

If I remember correctly, this Sub showed up on TRF and eventually the same one or another one was for sale at David SW and this was well before the current cost situation. I believe it was less than $10k and I thought about buying it. Missed opportunity.

I'll have to go search and see if I can find the original threads on this watch.

A Submariner with:

Two or four lines of text on the dial
Chamfered lugs
Smaller clasp.

Everything else the same.

A 38mm Datejust. It would be a big seller.

I might be in the minority, but I wish they made a Daytona with a date function.

Wonder if you’d like it with a RG dial?



Stylish - but how would a datewheel be possible at 6 o’clock with the moonphase too?
