Milsub reissue... every detail the same (down the the welded spring bars, tritium, and sword hands) but with upgraded movement.

In addition yes. Then we can both be happy

I'd want an Air King with a fully lumed and true B style dial. Get rid of the 3, 6, and 9 and just have 0-60 by increments of 5. Also I'd love to see a Milgauss with an original style bezel.

Mercedes hands on tudors (won’t happen in 1mm years)
Gilt print Rolex sub
Reverse panda 116500ln (full white subs)
Triple calendar oyster in steel

Basically just more homage to vintage without compromising progress

Larger Daytona with a date, perhaps as a 'II' to run alongside the existing one.
Tweak the Sub Date up to 41/42 mm. Leave the Sub (no date) as-is to prevent a complete meltdown(!)
Triplock crown for the Exp II and the option (as if!) of a ceramic bezel.
Lumed bezels for divers, GMTs and Exp II.
YM 42 on an Oyster bracelet.
Bring back the TOG in a larger size.
An entirely new model? Hmmm... maybe something to showcase a new, complicated movement. Not really their bag though.

Earlier in the thread I suggested a larger Daytona with a date as well so I love that one!

I’d love it if they could engineer the Deepsea to be thinner.

I’d re-buy that bad boy in a heartbeat (still might)

Totally agree too, a Daytona date could be awesome, with a slight size increase as he stated

About 99.9999% sure that’s never going to happen, but still nice to dream about

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.
I like everything you said
