They should not and I doubt if they are capable of inventing something as ground breaking as Seiko has done many times.

Seiko is light years ahead in this field and is probably the most innovative brand with the Kinetic, Astron and Spring drive movements.
These are truly marvels of micro engineering.

Rolex is old school and a very good one in that, love the way they are able to upgrade their line up with tiny alterations and respect to the past. No Rolex looks ever outdated, major allure for me.
Hope they stick to that philosophy.
