If you could have one request from Rolex - IE: re-release of a model, a model in a different diameter or metal(s), dial colors, etc, what would it be?

And please no requests for a free watch ;).

I think I'd like to see the current Submariner line have white dial as an option on all SS steel models.

I would like to see the Daytona increased to 41mm max.

Presa canary · 8 November 2013, 01:04 PM

Bring back markers not surrounded by white gold. Display back on some models. Less writing on some models (dssd). Ummm that's it for now. Take note rolex

Cesium133 · 8 November 2013, 01:06 PM

Day-Date is SS for us poor folk.

roman0405 · 8 November 2013, 01:24 PM

A SS smurf so I can afford it.

Bangel · 8 November 2013, 01:34 PM

1. Narrower lugs on the sub c
2. AR coating on the underside of the entire crystal.
3. Shorter Glidelock clasp.
4. Make me an ambassador too.

Nidal · 8 November 2013, 03:53 PM

No cyclops

Agree with AR coat on crystal with domed crystal

Fire the CFO for going greedy since 07' prices are uncontrollably are increasing

Bring more colors to SS Daytona

Brush GMT2c bracelet to bring it back to its a tool daily watch

Ym2 SS price cut since we are talking Patek prices almost

Fire the mil designer and take him to court for raising it from the dead in 1988. RIP MG

Discontinue the invisible air king or combine it with the ladies line!

provide more leather strap on SS date just and SS Daytona

Discontinue the Cellini line

Cheers

Lug holes on Subs

Increase Daytona size as others have suggested

Perhaps increase the marker plots on the Subs so they atleast resemble the pre gold surround models, as this is the look that made it popular to begin with.

Token74 · 8 November 2013, 04:16 PM

A less thick Sea Dweller (happy to accept a lesser depth rating)

Dr. Robert · 8 November 2013, 04:44 PM

Why lug holes, of course
Bah humbug no more scratching when I remove bracelet

Never thought I'd say this as I used to think they aesthetically were inferior....but let's start with:
-Lugholes Or..... include that tweezer spring bar tool they give their ADs with every sport model
-A thinner case Deepsea, I'd accept less depth rating
Or
-Make a grade 5 titanium Deepsea (no, I don't want the Pelagos)
-put a trip lock crown on the Exp 2
- I know I'm in the minority here but a special edition/anniversary/LE would be awesome. Like a LE Newman Daytona 10k pieces or a 5512/13 in modern ceramics, modern bracelet and glidelock, domed plexi glass, matte dial, no white gold surround on the markers and a true maxi dial 10k peices. Sold for 2-3 years tops. Tastefully done LEs wouldn't cheapen the brand in my opinion. But under no circumstances do I want any "person" watch. The Lebron Deepsea, Formula 1 Vettel Daytona, the DJ Ferrari.....FAIL!

Tim, I take it all back.

Furbo · 8 November 2013, 08:00 PM

Full AR coat, not just under the cyclops.

Steve748 · 8 November 2013, 08:06 PM

A SS Sky Dweller

Cyclops optional

White dial GMT2c

Black/Red bezel GMT2c

Archduke · 8 November 2013, 08:56 PM

Bring out a decent Calatrava style dress watch like the old Rolex Oyster Veriflat.

Make a ceramic Pepsi GMT Master II next year.

Bring back the 114270, but with a date.

Ditch the PCLs.

Get rid of the lume sticks on the champagne stick dials - go back to the older style champagne stick dials.

bayerische · 8 November 2013, 08:58 PM

Bring back the "real" Sea Dweller!

bridgs · 8 November 2013, 09:04 PM

Even though the movement is "nothing to write home about" according to many others, I would like to see a sapphire case-back available on all models at least as an option.

DennisJ · 8 November 2013, 09:32 PM

Submariner and SeaDweller red.

DennisJ · 8 November 2013, 09:33 PM

42mm Daytona with date
