I was thinking today how Rolex has made a watch for scientists/engineers (Milgauss), the Daytona is aimed at Racecar drivers, the Submariner to divers, Yacht Master to people who own yachts, etc.

How come Rolex hasn't created a model aimed to doctors?

Seems like the perfect target audience to me...

rolexnub · 18 September 2016, 06:53 AM

And in your opinion what feature or functionality should this model for doctors have?

Gus2 · 18 September 2016, 06:55 AM

Well, what feature is in the Yachtmaster related to Yachts? The YM II has a regatta timer but the YM one has nothing.

the0thrdude · 18 September 2016, 06:55 AM

Good question.

I know Longines made a watch with a pulsometer function. It actually looked pretty cool.

fskywalker · 18 September 2016, 06:57 AM

I would say any watch with easy means to capture time (Daytona, Sub, TOG, SD, etc.) is a good match for medical doctors / nurses, etc.

So what do you think a model for doctors should look like?

Doctor is in no way sexy enough. Unless it's a PhD in 16th century romantic literature. Rolex should totally make that watch!

I am not a doctor but IMO, doctors should wear the DayDate. First of all doctors can easily afford this model and it has day/date which is useful for their profession.

Are you a doctor? What do you think a doctor would like to have on their Rolex?

Loevhagen · 18 September 2016, 07:11 AM

All Rolexes are aimed at doctors - as the all have bph...aka pulse.

Fuselierpa · 18 September 2016, 07:11 AM

All they need to do is introduce a dress chronograph (whereas the Daytona is a sport chronograph). On the bezel put a pulse scale instead of a tachymeter.

They could further distinguish it from the Daytona by adding a date window.

Or they could make it a sport model that is described as a "fitness" oriented watch.

GB-man · 18 September 2016, 07:19 AM

Because that's not cool enough lol

Doctors already are doctors. A sub allows them to be Jacque Cousteau

travisb · 18 September 2016, 07:21 AM

I don't think theres a specific function to be geared towards doctors. Just take your pick.
Our buddy Dr. Tom Kerr is a Daytona ambassador :thumbs: but shares the love in the entire professional line.

roaddog359 · 18 September 2016, 07:23 AM

Doctors dont need a watch. When was the last time you where at the doctors office and he was on time for the appointment? Or maybe rolex can make one that is an hour fast for them and they will be on time. LOL.. My doctor friends are never on time.

Watch Rob · 18 September 2016, 07:26 AM

The Rolex Prince was called the doctors watch. They made some a few years ago. A rectangular case. A model from the 1920s.

THC · 18 September 2016, 07:27 AM

fun thread

t60 · 18 September 2016, 07:30 AM

My doctor has a DSSD. He used it to check my pulse once and I spend 15-20 minutes talking watches every appointment now. Best part is he grew up with Seikos like me, so we talk about all kinds of watches, not just Rolex.

It is still being made and still looks very much the same.

Rocket_Man · 18 September 2016, 07:43 AM

This is what a Doctor's watch would look like....

https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/in...er-chronograph

Measures Pulse and Respiration rate. It's basically a chronograph with purpose made scales. If they wanted to make it a little unique, they could have a separate sub-dial to count the number of hours in a shift.

AK797 · 18 September 2016, 07:44 AM

They put the day and the date on the DDs so doctors/surgeons have no excuses any more for turning up for operations on the wrong day.

Definitely busy - but I think it looks cool!

Ticknaway · 18 September 2016, 07:59 AM

I'd like my doctor to have any watch that makes him get to my appointments on time!!! Perhaps something like the Tudor advisor except instead of an alarm it would provide a small electrical shock.

texex91 · 18 September 2016, 08:04 AM

It would be a watch that only works three days a week :-)

Quailhunter · 18 September 2016, 08:10 AM

Counts golf strokes?

madmole · 18 September 2016, 08:22 AM

Rolex DID make a doctors watch around the 1920's with a pulsimeter
