I liked it so much I saved the pictures on my computer just to look at sometimes.
It is a watch that Rolex does not make (anymore).


That is a gorgeous piece... Kind of Speedmasterish.... Thanks for posting this. I really like it.

I really like the WG Daytona Silver hands on sub dials. Meteorite on the leather strap is sweet - I can't pick... 1655 Orange hand Expy... I have issues.

my dream rolex is one that I can accidentally slam against the side of a crane ,then hammer some metal braces into place with a sledge hammer and finally can leap into the water to pull some string out of my prop and all the while I dont have to worry the least bit about my watch not being able to take the punishment...oh yeah I already own it-its the submariner!!!

mine would be a 6239 paul newman, not with the current price.

I am actually (and have been) looking for a 6263 big red, hopefully one day my dream will come true.

This is sad...

I'd just like a GMT II with a pepsi bezel. Don't care what series or year. Don't care about wiggle tests or stick dials.

I would just love a shiny, beautiful Rolex GMT Master with Pepsi bezel in good condition.

You can all laugh with your dream watches at this seemingly easily attainable watch but this would be the next Rolex I would buy....and my wife won't let me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nothing is wrong. I guess I wasn't very clear. The point of this thread is to make your very own Rolex, to your specific specifications. Something you can't buy but would like. Think of it as a special wishes program where you can have whatever you want.

My dream rolex is the dd2! It is something that I can buy and get with a VISA but certainly could not afford for now!

Sorry but I couldn't resist answering the above quote.

Either the WG Daytona with meteorite dial (which Rolex make) or a blue-faced Submariner in steel with blue bezel (which Rolex don't make..yet).
