You have just won a contest from Rolex. Your prize? You have sole discretion to design Rolex’s next official release. Everything. Materials, complications, colors, variations, MSRP, etc. What would be your ultimate release?

Use your imagination and have fun!

How about an Aquaman GMT?

Green & Patina Orange bezel
Black Dial
Green GMT hand
Jubilee bracelet.

What about a red hulk?
Red bezel
Red dial
Oyster Bracelet.

Would absolutely love to see a White face yachmaster.
Keep the red seconds hand.
Employee some red font on the dial

Above all, I would make it mandatory for ALL rolex models to receive a white gold crown on the dial. I'm always jealous when I look at a DJ and see my Sub C w/ only a printed crown.

Thanks for posting this OP! Very fun and looking forward to what other members have to offer.

- ND sub with no crowngurds, slimmer chamfered lugs and red SUBMARINER text, also a glidelock more compact like the easy-link size

- Full RG OP39 with rhodium dial and fully brushed bracelet

Thats all

I wouldn't mess with the design in the catalog per se' much but.....

1) I would bring back concealed clasp jubilee and apply it to 36, 40 and 41mm pieces.
2) I would package bracelets with oysterflex models and vice versa for those models that come on bracelet. I have a hard time paying Rolex money for a watch with rubber band as only option. I'd like to have both.
3) I'd like to see a fluted bezel on Plat DD
4) Ceramic bezel on EXP II
5) Clear casebacks. Yeah, the movements may not be considered art like other marques but I think it's still cool to be able to see it.

Blue bezel/face SS sub, but different blue than sunburst or flat blue used in bluesy/smurf. Maybe a darker blue.

Marcjvr · 30 March 2020, 02:27 AM

Calculator watch...I’ve always wanted to do my taxes on a Rolex

Yellow gold Explorer 1. Makes zero sense but I'd like it.

Obviously not the same, but it certainly gives the idea legs.

Daydate perpetual Calendar would be a pretty cool movement.

In terms of pure aesthetics a white faced sub would be interesting...

sgfortino · 30 March 2020, 02:39 AM

Ceramic bezel of current WG Daytona with steel dial. Modern 6263.

Couldn’t put my name down fast enough.

antelope · 30 March 2020, 02:39 AM

All sports watches on leather straps and packaged with NATOS. No more bracelets. Watch people's heads explode.

haven_seeker · 30 March 2020, 02:43 AM

Hulk in full yellow gold.

I would discontinue the BLNR, and the red SD43.

TheDon2000 · 30 March 2020, 02:44 AM

I think the most obvious thing for me would be a Blue Dial/Bezel SS Submariner. I'm going to take a guess and say it would be the hottest SS Rolex within minutes of release, or at least right next to the Panda Daytona and Blue SkyD.

I'm amazed they have not come out with this yet.
