This could be blasphemy but.... No cyclops on Subs. Maybe an option. To Cyclops or Not to Cyclops- that is the question.

Almost had my dad convinced on the SeaDweller, then they go and add a cyclops... He isn't a fan of the "bubble" on the date.

Flame suit is on now!!

Get rid of the green and go back to classic coloring (white text/red 24 hour hand).


I'd buy one tomorrow.

Reintroduce chamfering on the 6 digit references, the the thickness would really work.

Reduce the explorer 2 down to 40mm, get rid of the super maxi hands/markers, make the proportions sensible like the SD4000 and get rid of the phantom hands in the black dial. Ok that's more than one thing.

Thinner lugs on the Submariner
RG Yachtmaster I in Stainless Steel (or the rhodium YM with the black ceramic bezel)
SS Ceramic Daytona with complete panda dials (full black subdials)
While I'm at it, a throwback Milgauss with a rotating bezel

Good thread Eliot, now where to begin:

1. The DD needs an adjustable clasp feature (for which I believe they have a patent pending)
2. All professional series should have glidelock clasp.
3. Bring back lug holes on divers
4. Rolex if you're listening, raise prices in UK

Surprised (and pleased) that no one has suggested a sapphire case back. That would be one tweak too many IMO.

Now on to the needed changes:
1) brush the center links
2) remove the excessive dial text (start with the War and Peace on the Daytona)
3) offer some manual wind versions

Chaps

I would reduce the Skydweller down to 40mm. 42mm is just too heavy looking.

As many others have said: slimmer lugs on Subs and GMTs.
