I’d like the GMT hand lume to have a different shape or the hand itself to be shorter. Currently it is lost between the hour indexes in the darkness. All other hands are clearly visible.

If Rolex want to really hit one out the park they should consider a new line that runs alongside the existing one, a heritage line.
Bring out a GMT in the same vein as the older 5 digits but with modern improvements.
A slimmed down Case, a new Saphire coated Bezel with new colourful lumed plexiglass insert beneath the sapphired Bezel topside, glidelock clasp reduced in size from the current sub offering, brushed oyster with the option of jubilee.
A heritage line like this, I am certain would do well.

Rolex should go to tritium gas tubes.

A ceramic black and red bezel. That would be all I would need.

I'm very content with my BLRO.
I'd like to see a SS Coke bezel but still don't think I'd be buying but ya never know.

Yeah, at least a different color for the GMT hand lume would already do!
Are there modders who offer changing the lume like that?

Etschell · 21 October 2017, 09:47 PM

they are not going away from the super case.

id settle for a 70 hour pr, red gmt hand and coke bezel color.

glide lock is a pipe dream as well.

I don't mind the maxi case but I wish they'd bring back bevels

people complaining that case refinishing ruined them...

I think a heritage line is totally wrong for the Rolex brand. Vintage rolex is vintage rolex. Production rolex is production rolex. Tudor mixes the two with some success, but I don't think Rolex should follow

Yes, they have small throwbacks like red lettering, but Rolex hopefully will never do faux patina

That would drive a lot of GMT fans crazy too.

I would love to see a SS Coke GMT.

Here is what would make me run to the AD:

-Coke bezel
-New 3286 GMT movement
-Thinner lugs (something between new and old)
-Brushed bracelet
-Slightly smaller dial markers and bezel numbers
-Red GMT hand

What do you want in a new SS GMT and what do you think the price would be?

The GMT was redesigned a few years back; need to pay a bit more attention!!! It was upgraded in size and with an annual calendar complication!!! It was released in SS this spring.

I think the case is fine. I'd love a fatter bracelet to minimize the thickness difference from the lugs to the bracelet.

A Coke bezel would be awesome as long as the red was truly red.

NothingToSeeHere · 22 October 2017, 01:35 AM

Won’t happen but a 42mm model. Give that the coke bezel. Definitely larger power reserve. With the Rolex case design, 42mm will be large enough for men over 6’ so it doesn’t look like a girls watch. At the same time it won’t be part of the huge watch movement

Sohaib · 22 October 2017, 03:35 AM

This beauty.. with new movement with 70 hours power reserve ..
and glide lock.. that’s would be perfect
