Rolex should surprise us with THIS from Basel...
Hi guys,
What we all really need from Rolex as a HUGE surprise would be.... A new DATEJUST in 40 mm on an even better and specially modified Jubilee bracelet....all solid links....and a special clasp with at least 3 holes for micropin adjustments. Now that would be something to really dream about!!

I think a bigger Datejust (in addition to the current 36mm one) would be a nice addition--good idea.

I agree. If they want anymore of my money they need to make the 40mm DJ. Well, they might get in my pocket for the GMT IIc I think with the recent price increase there are numerous folks that are looking for something new and exciting. Otherwise, the Rolex fund may be used for another brand. At least I know that is the case with me

Hey Mark, do you need someone to carry your bags, get your drinks, drive you around, walk through Basel w/you?

I always wanted there to be an option of either a 36 mm or 40 mm Datejust. I like the idea of going up to 40 mm, but since many people still prefer the 36 mm size, we should be able to have a choice between the two.

The TOG version would be excellent, with the red seconds hand and date wheel numerals! Oh, wow...

Nice...
Always nice to talk about what Rolex do in the Basel 2008. My dream watch is Rolex re-design Explorer II Orange Hand again. And make Explorer 1 in 40 mm, with 3-6-9 glow. And of course upsize the SD to be 42 mm!!!

Just my , but if they are going to continue with the LV, I'd like to see the Seconds hand get a green coating and make the hour hand a MAXI hand like the GMT IIc!
oh yeah.....and give us the ceramic pepsi!
