Which begs the question, what would be a 100% new watch model?
Not talking luxury watches. Some do look nice. But besides only telling the time, they just hang on a wrist and look pretty.
I've always tended to tool watches. I want my watch to be useful for more than telling the time of day.

I've got two ideas, but they are more variations than new watches.
1. A Submariner that tracks tides.
Since tides differ by location, there would need to be a way to adjust for that.
2. A GMT that tracks moon phases.

I don't think Rolex has ever made a watch with one of these complications.
