None. Glidelock clasp available on different models would be enough for me.

I think this would be pretty cool even on an automatic watch

Equivalent would be the 9001 movement with added moon complication, shouldn't be too difficult.


How did the conversation turn into destroying a watch with a drill?

The lugholes solution is available in older references and I have maintained those options in my small collection largely for that reason.
It would be nice imho if rolex carried on what was a streamlined practical solution to the task of removing the bracelet.
I understand they prefer the user doesn’t use “their” watch on a nato for instance but sometimes that’s just what the owner wants to do.

Yes please.. and an auto scratch mechanism if the stickers are left on after purchase.

I think adding a complication to any of the classic sports models would alter their DNA and that's not how Rolex work (let's forget the Yacht-Master II).
But I would love to see the True Beat resurrected, or a Prince brought back with a power reserve indicator on the back of the movement.
A Cellini with grande date at 6 o'clock would work, too, I think.

I agree.

Lug Holes are the best.

My 16570 had them
My 16613 had them
My Seiko MM300 Has them.
My Tudor Prince Date has them.
My other Tudor Prince Date has them.

They are the best.

I wish they still existed on the 6 digit Subs...

I could go for a Perpetual Calendar Chronograph which is my personal ultimate comp. Just not sure I'd pay the money Rolex would ask for this, I'd more likely go for the PP option.

I’d love to see a Chiming Watch, maybe a minute or quarter repeater. Not many Repeating watches on the market rugged enough to actually wear.

I'd like to see them put the quickset hour hand from from GMT/ EXPII on the Explorer.

Travel to far-flung locales, set the hour to local time when you arrive without stopping the watch, and go explore!

Keeps the purity of the piece while adding function and separates it a bit more form the Air-King.

Feasible, with the advantage that it would not mess with the dial.

This is my biggest wish at the moment: my favorite watch with the most useful feature
