Coulda woulda shoulda

I suspect Rolex knows what it's customers want and also what they're good at. There's always someone who wants something different - it just doesn't mean they're right.

How about we all wear the same watch, clothes, & drive the same vehicle...that would make more sense!!
A very sensible reply, there is probably a school of thought that every Rolex owner thinks that they are wearing the ultimate watch.

If all wear the same " ultimate watch", what will happen to the WRUW threads?

IMHO every Rolex is an "ultimate" watch.

Maybe Rolex didn't build the "ultimate watch" is because there is no such thing. As a tool watch it would be like building a hammer/screwdriver with w drill in the claw end, a saw for the handle and..... You can see where this goes. I'd rather have a purpose built tool that functions as it should and is straight forward in its use. Think about it, if you're SCUBA diving do you really need to know how long you've been under in a second time zone?

Can't make or it's just a preferance?

I hate fliegers with power reserve indicator, divers with GMT function, divers chronograph with master calendar or any tool watch with so much complications.

I added:

Daytona dials and case plungers
Day indicator
GMT hand

In order to illustrate the impossibility of an all-in-one Rolex. I did not bank on you being an insecure worthless joke but since I prefer to avoid all interaction with imbeciles like yourself I will delete it.

Variety is the spice of life.

It would not only be boring for us as consumers but way less profitable for Rolex.

I didn't give you permission to do this. Remove it now.
No need for insulting me further.

Thanks.

Got my popcorn just in time!

How long until lockdown?

Can a mod lock a thread while wearing a Rolex?
