Every time I click through this thread I send a wish into the universe for that YG LV. That would be amazing, fingers crossed!

I find the Yachtmaster to be one of Rolex's most beautiful watches (love the blue dial and red second hand) , BUT the bezel leaves me colder than soaking the family jewels in the Atlantic Ocean.

Could one of the resident photoshop samurai perhaps do a Yachtmaster with cerachrom bezel insert for me?

There was a Photoshop done for the Basel 2017 predictions. Here it is. *credit to google image search* Can't find out who did the original Photoshop. I'm with you I love the Yacht Master but would prefer a ceramic bezel so it stays looking good for a long time.

That looks great! I almost feel they should do a bezel without the raised numerals, but I guess that would be approaching submariner territory. That blue dial with a Grey or blue cerachrom bezel would be beautiful.

Other changes: Do we really need 5 lines of text on an already busy dial? Reduced to 3.
Lighter sub wheels, darker and thicker hands make it really easy to read.
Red tip on second hand and black indices
I'll buy this Daytona.

Interesting you should say that. I was just thinking that an SS YM with a ceramic insert would basically put it on par with an SS SubC in terms of material cost. Rolex charges almost $4k more for the SS YM than for the SS SubC, presumably because the platinum insert justifies it (according to Rolex logic, at least). How could they continue to justify doing that if they put a ceramic insert into the YM? I can't see Rolex wanting to lower the price, and I can't see customers willing to spend the same amount on a watch they know is worth less. I suspect the ceramic on the YM will be limited to PM models only.

I would kill for a TT Hulk. Gold and Green are a match made in Rolex heaven.

Excellent work...although, don't you think a Sub chrono would retain the round lume disk on the seconds hand, rather than adopt the Daytona spear?

Very cool. I doubt I would ever buy this watch, but I really appreciate the ability to see what it might be like.

Two more creation of Explorer II. I love the Polar and hope to own it one day! Made these two by using DOXA's Project Aware Aqua color. Making one with current Polar to ICE. Very similar to 1pg EXP II, just unlume it. Another one is just Aqua Dial. Am I insane or what!? Can't stop creating :P

Thanks for your Photoshop. I have to say I hate it. Just my opinion. I am sure others will disagree.
