Silicium

Does anyone think Rolex will use improved materials like Silicium in the future?

They might, but would you really want to pay more of a premium just to wear a metal when you could have a precious metal such as gold or platinum

I think absolutely..

Rolex engineers have been working with Patek to come up with the latest silicon hairspring technology.

It's in the future when it becomes more tried and proven.......but it's coming...
