DDII on strap

Fantasy:
Rose gold GMT master II
Rose (on bracelet) sky dweller
Rose gold submariner on strap or bracelet

Rolex has lately launched models that were very different from what people were asking on the Forums. Obviously would be problems in the manufacture of GMT Pepsi because everyone asked. The same with a Daytona a bit larger. What I do not like... not want to talk because I respect the taste of all people.

Although I must say 2014 is probably my most anticipated Basel due to Pateks 175th anniversary. I really can't wait to see what they have in store for basel. Also they are suppose to be building and showcasing their new Basel "booth" which is going to be nothing short of spectacular and fitting for their elite clientele
I am already saving ha

Rashid.bk · 8 December 2013, 06:20 AM

Guesses
Precious metal BLNRs
Ceramic bezels further expanded in the Daytona line, but not ss yet

Wishes
A baby Deepsea, 42mm, half the depth. Or a Grade 5 titanium Deepsea.

Baselman · 8 December 2013, 07:00 AM

Guesses - a price hike
Wishes - no price hike

beshannon · 8 December 2013, 07:07 AM

No guesses and no wishes.

Happy to wait to see what I might like.

Patek will have a new display for Basel - one that has taken a few years to complete. Unfortunately you will have to wait until a few months after Basel for the full 175th anniversary pieces as they will be showcased separately later on in the year.

I too can't wait - could be an expensive year coming up.....

A mid-size Sub-C would be truly interesting and would probably do well in the marketplace. They have a mid-size YM, so why not.

Laszlo · 8 December 2013, 07:46 AM

I would like to see the DJII reduced to 39mm. That's my only wish.

Me too. But that 36mm white beauty you have does the job pretty well!

www777 · 8 December 2013, 07:53 AM

Rose gold day date 2 on a strap!

Cru Jones · 8 December 2013, 07:55 AM

There are so many I like right now, I don't know. Maybe a super jubilee option on the GMT and DJII models? A longer power reserve on various calibers? A special "Free for Cru Jones Platinum Daytona"?

ARTISAN · 8 December 2013, 08:10 AM

new for 2014,,,,,,,,,,,,price increase

That's really kind of you, thank you. :-)

I love my DJ so much. The roulette date wheel adds so much visual value... I look forward to wearing her on red days.

venom43 · 8 December 2013, 08:27 AM

This would be nice....and in SS so I don't have to wait.

Racerdj · 8 December 2013, 08:37 AM

Realistic: Ceramic Daytona TT or YG
A dream: A new Daytona design, slightly larger, ceramic with a date option

strafer_kid · 8 December 2013, 08:46 AM

Assuming they did a Sports at all, I would love to see a Pepsi GMT - but surely this would be direct competition for sales of blue/black GMT at a very early stage in its production and sales? Probably a non starter?

postalworker · 8 December 2013, 08:51 AM

A new updated Sea-Dweller 4000

39mm SS Air King would be nice!

jhamiltonwa · 8 December 2013, 11:02 AM

Unrealistic - re-issue of the Sub 5513 case in 904 steel with modern movement & clasp, and a ceramic bezel. The 115513. Two lines non certified.

Of course I'd be the only one who wanted one, so when the show was over, they'd just ship it out to me at cost.

Unrealistic 2 -
"Mr Hamilton we read your post on TRF last year and we thought your idea for a black faced Sub-Date with a blue ceramic bezel sounded awesome, so here it is, may we present the JHBLNR. While we could not condone it being called the Hamilton Sub, we would not object if it got that unofficial nickname"

"Guys, that is a beautiful watch, and I'm really grateful, but in the last twelve months Ive gone a bit vintage and old school. I'm after the smaller case non date Sub for weekend wear, but hey, seriously, thanks for the thought"

AstroBoy · 8 December 2013, 11:18 AM

Yeah - 36mm Sub! ??? more lady will want it maybe?

Avs Fan · 8 December 2013, 11:43 AM

Unrealistic (otherwise why dream?).....

Sports/dive ... sub or new SD... with highly domed crystal and flat black painted dial - no white gold at the hour markers. Prefer old case and aluminum bezel, but if I get the first two... I'm in.

A champagne serti dial would be sweet for the TT subC.
