I'd like to see them shock the world and stop releasing so many damn models....but that won't happen so I would like to see a 44mm Fiddy case base with in house manual 8 day movement. I can dream right? Make it a faded brown dial too and we are on to something.

a GMT in contemporary case (just like 88) without silver subdial...
a Lumior base, 44mm with gold hands...
and this one is a pure fantasy.
a Radiomir base, 45/47mm with Luminor Lugs and gold hands.

cheers,
K.

233 in Radiomir case. 268 doesn't because of cyclops!

And of course bring 190 back!

I'm with you on that one big time D. They could do this, but would only make 100 of them and all the flippers would get them and sell them for 2.5x retail!!!!

What do I want? Even less.

Give me a 44mm 127 with a 6497, exhibition back!

How about tossing their own 8 day movement into a 210 case. No seconds, no date, just a nice clean Rad.
Of course gold hands are a must.
Manual wind, with a linear power reserve on the back.

Wonder how it would work, fewer models, but ramp up the production on those lines. Then have a few models with low prodution numbers.
So, they keep the same number of watches produced, but fewer models.

A well priced structure for their watches, maybe some type of anti-flipping system to stop carpet baggers get onto SE lists only to sell them the second they pick them up.
