Icon20 What are you hoping for at Basel 2012?

I know everyone must ahve some sort of wish they would want Rolex to grant.

Here's mine:

I wish Rolex would update the Yactmaster clasp and bezel. Then I would most definitely purchase one!

Also, I heard the TOG line has been discontinued. That's very sad for me cause that was definitely my favorite Datejust line

So please share what you wish Rolex would do for next year!

Yes, I can see that most people would prefer a larger sub. IMHO, I think the 40mm wears great.

@ the TOG, I really hope they don't retire the entire idea

I heard another member say something interesting (this isn't true) That the TOG should be offered in a 39mm size and they (Rolex) retire the 36mm.

I would love to see that too. But I doubt that will happen since both have been relatively new and updated.

What about a new SS Yachtmaster II?

I second this notion - how about lower retail prices

I'd love to see an updated Daytona. It's about time.

I can understand the clasp, but what kind of upgrade are you looking for in the bessel? ( Isn't the YM bessel what's mainly distinguish it from the sub?)

My vote would be the Ceramic Pepsi (must have the red hand though)

I think the YM bezel is what sets it apart from the other models. My only gripe is that it is easily scratchable and very expensive to replace!!

I know everyone in the WIS universe thinks differently, but I think the 14060M is a classic that should never change, except perhaps for an updated bracelet.

Mine will become a classic quicker as a result.

Not Really!!! It's a wonderful watch ad Rolex should continue producing it (sans ceramic bezel, sans bigger case) for years to come so that others have a chance to own this defining watch.
