Taper the lugs on the subc, no pcl and I guess I'm old school but I never cared for the ceramic bezels. Just to blingy which takes away the tool watch look if you will.

A Kermit with the modern strap in 42mm would be my ideal watch to be honest. Especially in the lime green shade that some of them have. A real stunner.

I honestly don't know why some from the UK are so keen to raise the prices. If a no SubC was £5000 this time last year and they go up again by the same margin it would be £6k now. I assume you are thinking they would be in plentiful supply.

I would sooner wait three month and get it at £5k than have it tomorrow at 6. I don't have that kind of money to throw down the road just to have it right now.

16600 style bezel (in ceramic) on the SD43. Its so much better looking without all the minute gradations.

Daytona in 42-43mm. As an option, I understand the need for the 40.

Just thought of another one:

'SUPERLATIVE CHRONOMETER
OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED"

Taken off the dial and engraved into the caseback. This goes for all models. This will help satisfy the folks who want less dial text, while at the same time, satisfy those who need to remind themselves they have a certified chronometer on their wrist.

*EDIT*

See attached example.

Put the bezel and the dial of the 1655 on the current black 216570. Leave the white dial alone.

I'm a happy camper.

Oh yeah, almost forgot...add backwards compatibility of 5 digit sports model bracelets with 6 digit bracelets.

Now we're talking.

if you add a date wheel on the Milgauss it reduces its anti-magnetic properties
