What would your ideal design / model of rolex be given the freedom to chose?

Keep it reasonable, i.e. changes to watches we know.

What I desire most would be a military no date sub --- updated to a SD 4000 case without the valve and with the solid strap bars. Crystal should be slightly thicker than sub but not the as thick as the SD

BigHat · 6 October 2008, 06:14 AM

Overall, they have plenty of nice watches with enough options. To harp on it a bit more, I'd love to see tritium gas tubes clear during the day and mulit-colored in the dark (ala Ball). 12 o'clock marker in red with hands (green) and hour marks in blue on the Sub and GMT.

Brianm · 6 October 2008, 06:17 AM

It'd be a Daytona for me, a DD would work too.

chicagowatchman · 6 October 2008, 06:19 AM

Iwould like to see some cool Dials!!!!

Have the ability to pay for custom dials....like the painted ones that Patick did a few years back.

toph · 6 October 2008, 06:20 AM

i know this is a bit stereotypical but a modern daytona with a cream dial and black sub-dials and black bezel

WatchTimes · 6 October 2008, 06:45 AM

Plat DD II Droool.................
I don't know what kind of dial
I would want though,

Rockrolex · 6 October 2008, 06:49 AM

This is my ideal Rolex.

HYDROMAROC · 6 October 2008, 06:49 AM

A rose gold DD... When I strike it rich.....

Ed Rooney · 6 October 2008, 06:55 AM

SD4000 with the new DSSD bracelet and clasp, with lug holes and Seiko-quality lume.

JJ Irani · 6 October 2008, 06:57 AM

New Rose Gold DD-II 41 mm with the wave design on the dial!! Seen it in person, but the price is waaaaaaaaaay out of reach!!

scottjal · 6 October 2008, 06:57 AM

GMTIIc without the supercase huge lugs, smaller script on the bezel like the 16710 and an all brush finished bracelet.

Quicksilver · 6 October 2008, 07:02 AM

All rose gold DJ (36 mm - sorry JJ !). Really like rose gold - more subtle and less flashy than yellow gold.

Sub Date with "Submariner" in red.

Troy · 6 October 2008, 09:41 AM

I'm with you Christopher, all the way

CH & USA · 6 October 2008, 10:15 AM

How about an SD that fires a 50ft piton wire as the Omega in "The World Is Not Enough" or any professional with a Dial that can be turned 180 degrees (so one can wear it as rightie or leftie). For a simpler option, how about a Titanium DJ or 14060M?

haakon59 · 6 October 2008, 10:17 AM

Submariner GMT with "true" big date function (and no cyclops)

- An SD with the 1680 crystal
- updated clasp
- solid center links
- increased lume
- ceramic bezel insert with matte finish
- nix the SCOC and make the SEA-DWELLER red
- sword hands
- crown guards like the super-case

I think that would do it for me.

Time Traveller · 6 October 2008, 11:12 AM

A 14060m

1) chronometer without SCOC on the dial; just the name and depth rating
2) maxi-dial with A LOT of lume
3) SEL
4) raised domed sapphire crystal like on vintage Subs
5) 41mm diameter super-case
6) GMT style clasp

mfer · 6 October 2008, 11:15 AM

This one, except a real one, not a replica....

Blue SS Sub.

valentine · 6 October 2008, 11:42 AM

honestly. YACHTMASTER II In SS!!!!!! that is my dream....I hope everyday that they announce it....and still waiting....and maybe have the color scheme a bit different. maybe a white dial with green arrow...and green accents

DSJ · 6 October 2008, 11:58 AM

Bluesy GMT2C/Submariner 300m

RsqVet · 6 October 2008, 12:15 PM

Good stuff --- keep it up guys.

Here are 2 more I dream of:

A simple SS oyster in a shape OTHER than what they offer now --- like the modified torneue / tank cases that date to the 40's

A true 24 hour format watch --- they are a pet of mine, wish rolex made one.

TempoKing · 6 October 2008, 12:44 PM

Singslinger · 6 October 2008, 01:37 PM

A Daytona with moon phases and date.

scottschoe · 6 October 2008, 01:39 PM

41MM YG Daytona with SDDS clasp - with a crown that parks correctly.

Lisa · 6 October 2008, 01:45 PM

TT rose gold/ss mid-size Yachtmaster with black MOP dial. For this month. Next month I'll lust after something else.

Don't think YM is available with any rose gold.... will it ever be?

Boopie · 6 October 2008, 02:03 PM

Any takers for a SS/platinum Submariner, akin to the SS/platinum Yachtmaster?

A blue stainless Sub would look nice.
