Had an idea about a new design, tell me what you think...
A 40mm case, black face, all SS, both case and bracelet (PCL bracelet), the dial will look a bit like jubilee dial, but more of Matrix style - means, a lot of times the word - Rolex will be written vertically in mixed position as the numbers looked at the Matrix, the letters will be printed on the dial in a bright glowing green color, and it will say:

Oyster Perpetual
MATRIX

Superlative Chronometer
Officially Certified

Any opinions?
Sincerely,

Up until you described a display of the Rolex name in glowing green letters over the face, it sounded interesting. I really dislike the obvious overuse of branding on any product. Unfortunately, it sounds like something that Rolex would probably do now.

Personally, I didn't follow any of that but if it has something to do with the Matrix movie, then I'm agin it.

And why is that? basicly what gave Rolex it's name was big advertizing and appearances on movies such as James Bond, why Bond yes and Matrix no?

Sounds like it would look too weird and therefore it would lose the mystic of a Rolex.

Rolex would never do it. Omega might, though . . . Like the 007 branded watches.
