I would like a Sea-Dweller with a depth gage, like the JLC Master Compressor Diving...

Not a complication per se perhaps, but could be cool.

Oh that's easy...

A DSSD with:
-A compass
-Depth gauge
-Wireless air integration
-Air Mix setting for Nitrox (and Tri-Mix since it's rated to 12,000 feet)
-Tank Pressure
-Buddy Pressure Check
-RBT
-Dive Planner
-Audible and vibe alarms
-A backlight
-No-Decompression (NDC) Time Remaining
-Safety Stop Prompt
-Safety Stop Time Setting
-Altitude Adjustment

Also, this should be a nice clean looking watch that is simple to operate, no larger than the current 44mm, and affordable. Oh yeah...it must also be available in a green version.

I think a large date on an explorer (3?) would work for these old eyes

You can buy a sub without the date.

I feel the same way about these complications. If I had to pick one, though, it would be a moonphase.

Generally, I feel that to be a Rolex a watch has to be very tough and durable. When you start making the movements less simple, they become more delicate and more dress-watch like. As dressy as a DD is, the watch itself is tough.
