If you could design your own Rolex...

What would it be?

Me?? I would take the classic Submariner (16610/14060M) case and dial, put a modern ceramic bezel on it, and fit it with the glide-lock bracelet... and just for posterity, would print "SUBMARINER" in red....

GMTIIc - all get legible GMT hands (no more green...)
Glidelock clasp a custom option on all watches if you want to wait for your order from Rolex
1/2 link removable standard on all watches
bring back the green dialed sub with the black face.
make the new GMTIIc BLRO reasonable in price with stainless model

A modern reissue of the panda dial Daytona does sound great.

I think an updated jubilee bracelet on the GMT IIc. I would pull the trigger on that.

SS Daytona with black ceramic bezel and black ringed sub-dials like the Zenith Daytona had.

That would be sh*t-hot. I would flip my 116520 in a heartbeat for that.

I would live to see a GMT with a white dial and a ceramic bezel. Blue red or blue white possibly.

DJ II 116334, everything is perfect but I would love to make it 44 MM in size
BLNR, keep as is but size would be 44 MM
I don't have a 326938 SKY DWELLER but I want to say a few thing on it as it is my grail watch
I would make it bigger so as to keep GMT ring in aligned well from 12 o'clock to 6 o'clock position and add markers in numbers like slate dial DJ II models

Something with a series of complications in a DJ style (36mm). Fairly conservative but with some extra functions.

Oh and official leather straps with depolyant buckles.

A stainless GMT with a pepsi/coke bezel (sapphire would be fine with me) with brushed center links. I'd like it at 42mm too.

I'd also dig a modern root beer/chocolate TT GMT with RG center links.
