The platinum Smurf. Sounds better than the PlatMariner.

I think it will always be, and should always be a PM reference.

I would love to see a SS Smurf in the future though.

While they’re at it, they could also make one in plastic and junk that crappy movement in favour of a super accurate quartz version....

Then they could go head to head with Casio in the <£50 utility market....

No, just No, some things are best left well alone & a DD in PM is one of those things...

They do. Most PM classic models and TT DJs are readily available

A BLRO but instead of the blue just have half mark 1 red and the other half mark 2 red, that way we will actually be able to see the difference

I hope they never do that. Right now the WG sells for under retail and isn't desired. If SS would come out, it would immediately become WL and go for what WG goes for currently on grey markets. What I do wish they would do is make a tridor DD40.



I really like how older tridor looks and think it'd be even better if it was in DD40 size.

More Hulks so I can get one. But a new sub with a red bezel would be something as well.

Explorer II with a ceramic bezel. I was hoping against hope that Rolex would release it at the last Basel World.

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

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.

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