The professional line currently includes diving, mountain climbing, yatching, car racing, globe trotting, sky dwelling, and magnetic field taunting watches. If you could request/design the next Rolex tool watch, what would be its stated purpose?

The bicycling Rolex tool watch.......or if that's too rugged the Rolex partying tool watch!

rolepam312 · 13 September 2013, 11:54 AM

Regardless of what their intended purposes are, who really wears a 8-35K Rolex for such purposes? So it really doesn't matter what other " professional " series they come up with.. They are no longer a tool watch.. Rather, a delicate jewelry ...but i still wear my 16610 for diving... What a concept...

Tides - see the Oris ProDiver Pointer Moon model for specs...

Seems Rolex has it pretty well covered. Even the Explorers are touted as spelunking watches by the pictures in the booklets. But if I could choose new functions, I'd like to see a high/low tide indicator along lines of the Kreiger watches. Got stuck once on the rocky coast of France one time for not knowing when high tide was, and I had to navigate my way several miles over the hillsides though fields and over fences. Got chased by a few cows, so maybe a bovine detector would be nice as well.

PaulG, you must have been reading my mind as I was writing.

Maybe Rolex could make a model for a Mustang racing, a$$ chasing, hellion extraordinaire......

Chainring · 13 September 2013, 12:50 PM

I'd like to have one with an analog compass that actually works. Maybe even an altimeter on sub dials. I wouldn't want any polished bits and I'd want it on a rubber strap. And I'd want it to take a lot of shock. Hmmm. An R-shock?

Curling is the gateway spectator sport to heroin use.

gpfps · 13 September 2013, 09:33 PM

Ocean Dweller, with the choice of what ocean on the face.Side note- A function I would love, is a power meter to let you know when to wind the watch.

Cc1966 · 13 September 2013, 10:24 PM

Compass mounted in the bracelet would be a nice option.
