What's Your Dream Rolex?
So you wake up one day and hear the news; Rolex is going to start making watches to order. Any dial, any bezel, etc, on any watch they make. Any combination you want, they'll make.
A couple I have in mind are pretty easy, a mid-sized TT YM with the blue dial and NO DATE. Another I'd like is a TT Everrose Turnograph with a smoke gray dial with rose gold roman #'s and the second hand matching the hour and minute hands, NOT that red they use now. Maybe no date on that one either. Then they could bring the Exp I back into production and offer it with a couple different color dials. So............. what'll you have? |

I saw someone on here post a pic of a yachtmaster bezel on a sub. Looked pretty neat. I could go for one.

Some kind of milsub thing.
Matte dial, fixed spring bars, sword hands, 60 minute markers on the bezel insert, non-gold surrounds, etc. But I want a sapphire crystal...but domed. That would hit the spot!

I don't need anything custom. My dream watch is a birth year (1996 for me) 16610 Submariner.

Hello Adam. Your post reminded me of myself 18 months ago, when I started with Rolex. My dream was a Submariner (something about this watch just seems to capture everyone's first love). Once you get it, you will have another dream lol believe me.

Bond style Sub that can cut rope and deflect bullets please - but update that with ceramic bezel. Actually, maybe make that a DSSD.
