Absolutely this!

But also, please give us a 39mm Datejust - many many people find the 36 too small and the 41 too large. The 39 OP is a really popular size so it defies logic to not offer the Datejust in 39mm.

Exactly my feelings. I'd bin my GMT Master II for one of these. I could get behind either 40mm or 42mm, but then I have 7 3/4" wrists.

38-39mm Sub with classic proportions and 11mm or thinner, 38mm Day-Date, rose gold and black ceramic versions of the aforementioned Sub, an Air-King that actually looks like a pilot's watch, and other colors of the OF straps.

I would mostly just prefer that they killed off the supercase entirely, and that you could more or less decide the bracelet on most models

Agree with many of the posts. Here are mine.

40mm Explorer 2 with ceramic bezel
38mm Datejusts
39mm Air King with simpler dial
Submariners with newer movements

Fair argument. I'd suggest that the current 41 is too large and ought to be reduced slightly to be more elegant.

I wish Rolex would make a larger number of the watches they’ve come out with over the past 3 or 4 Basel’s. IMO they don’t need to make any new versions until 2022, their initiatives should be around production increases. Customer loyalty is formed by delivering a product at a price a buyer is willing to pay. Rolex has gotten out of this business. I think they are going to see a hit to customer loyalty over the long run, if they don’t fix this. Maybe I don’t buy a different brand but I just stick with the watches I have to avoid the frustration with Rolex.

thats a good one. All things being equal i would pick nearly every watch without. I dont really like date windows to begin with, so it just makes it bigger. I have only 2 watches that even have a date window

like deploying oysterflex bracelet on non PM pieces, Rolex would never do this.

re-release the single red sub mimic the 1680 in the coming Sub change along with the new movement. That is it.
