You Are Now in Charge of Rolex’s Next Release!
You have just won a contest from Rolex. Your prize? You have sole discretion to design Rolex’s next official release. Everything. Materials, complications, colors, variations, MSRP, etc. What would be your ultimate release?
Use your imagination and have fun! |

How about an Aquaman GMT?
Green & Patina Orange bezel Black Dial Green GMT hand Jubilee bracelet. What about a red hulk? Red bezel Red dial Oyster Bracelet. Would absolutely love to see a White face yachmaster. Keep the red seconds hand. Employee some red font on the dial Above all, I would make it mandatory for ALL rolex models to receive a white gold crown on the dial. I'm always jealous when I look at a DJ and see my Sub C w/ only a printed crown. Thanks for posting this OP! Very fun and looking forward to what other members have to offer. |

I wouldn't mess with the design in the catalog per se' much but.....
1) I would bring back concealed clasp jubilee and apply it to 36, 40 and 41mm pieces. 2) I would package bracelets with oysterflex models and vice versa for those models that come on bracelet. I have a hard time paying Rolex money for a watch with rubber band as only option. I'd like to have both. 3) I'd like to see a fluted bezel on Plat DD 4) Ceramic bezel on EXP II 5) Clear casebacks. Yeah, the movements may not be considered art like other marques but I think it's still cool to be able to see it. |

Blue bezel/face SS sub, but different blue than sunburst or flat blue used in bluesy/smurf. Maybe a darker blue.

Yellow gold Explorer 1. Makes zero sense but I'd like it.

Daydate perpetual Calendar would be a pretty cool movement.
In terms of pure aesthetics a white faced sub would be interesting... |

I think the most obvious thing for me would be a Blue Dial/Bezel SS Submariner. I'm going to take a guess and say it would be the hottest SS Rolex within minutes of release, or at least right next to the Panda Daytona and Blue SkyD.

Dare I say it, but a 42mm SS Ceramic Daytona with a date window integrated at the 6 o'clock. Would have the same dial as the 519LN and come with both the SS and oysterflex bracelets.

I would take the current Daytona and GMT line, keep it the exact same but enlarge the cases to 43MM. The Daytona looks small on a childs wrist.

Blue/red GMT Master II - everything the current BLRO case has, but with the thinner bezel font of the older versions in the ceramic rather than the chunky font today. Oh and make the dial blue (can attest the WG Pepsi with blue dial is absolutely stunning).
Add a fully-brushed oyster bracelet and that’s perfection. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
