As we know predictions in the past usually come up disappointed. With the Christmas season upon us, how bout a wish list...

For me:
*Submariner and or GMT with smaller lugs
*Yachtmaster 40mm PM with metal bracelets

Interesting. Has Rolex ever made a titanium watch?

A GMT “Coke” so the Instakiddies can move on from the Pepsi and have supplies return to normal.

A Rolex that can be bought by wobbling into an AD and walking out with one.

Under what pretense do you think that releasing ANOTHER steel GMT would make the the demand/supply issue better?

Technically, no. Tudor does. Some people like the heft of SS, which I understand. I've had my fair share of hefty Rolex watches but, personally, titanium has always been the most comfortable for me. Very scratch resistant and light but very strong. To each his/her own. Just my .02

Sub already busy with 4 lines of text. Whereas it looks good on Explorer 1, I wouldn’t do this to the Sub

new turn o graph

A 39mm explorer case with a very narrow Turn O Graph ceramic bezel and a very tasteful, simple dial in black, white,and silver. I see it as a modern interpretation of the early Turn O Graph from the 1950's. Beautiful! and easy to make out of existing parts (except the new ceramic bezel)

A non-chunky sport watch.

Given that the GMT lugs did not change but ever so slightly, maybe, I do not think the lugs on the Sub will change. They look fine as they are on the bracelet just a little awkward on a strap.

I’m good with the Mil

There is an article somewhere that puts the real world rating of the modern Milgauss at like ten times that, maybe I can find it later.

That would be great to read if you find it. I've been under the impression that it stayed at a "Mil". I would definitely believe that they increased it considering Omega are way past a Mil right now with a lot of their models.

Something new we've never seen before that comes completely out of left field.

I have seen a photo shop of a green blusey if you will. It reminds me of a John Deere tractor with gold and green
