What complication do you wish existed?

[Oyster Sauce]

I would just request that the jumping hour hand capability, which is exemplified by the Rolex GMT and Explorer II (and Tudor GMT) lines, would be the industry standard for GMT-type watches. Right now this particular capability is the sought-after exception to the rule.

a flyback chronograph function for the rolex daytona if they ever want to improve the 4130 movement. I often have to time intervals at my job where i have to stop and reset my stopwatch function right away. Imo, tt would be in Rolex ethos to introduce this function on their chronograph as a way to evolve the model without making too much of a change on the design.

A marked bezel with a minute repeater to notify of set timer

A SS Day-Date Sub.

It would be great if a slice of pizza and a movie icon popped up Friday evenings around 5pm to remind me of family tradition

Combine the GMT and Daytona to have a Daytona with a moveable 24 hour bezel, GMT hand and non-cyclops date.

Water resistant minute repeaters.

A market timer might be nice. I’d love to know when my investments are about to halve

Something that tells you it’s time for another alcoholic beverage would be useful.

Along those same lines a forum member suggested that GMT watches make great beer counters and I have used this method at many tailgates ever since. Brilliant!

What ever complications you want on a mechanical watch,will always
make the watch more fragile and more expensive to service.
It would be better to work on giving watches a longer power reserve
and longer service intervals in my opinion.

OP, i think it largely depends on which watch brand forum you ask this question.

This watch brand is not exactly famous for complications. And thus, it will likely attract people who just wants the simplest watches.

In fact, a lot of people here, when regularly polled, always say they preferred no-date watches. If the people in this forum were the majority of Rolex's customer base, Rolex would only be selling Oyster Perpetuals, No-date Subs, Explorers, and the like.

The Skydweller wouldn't exist. Heck, even the much-beloved Daytona wouldn't exist. Who would want a chronograph, right? Ew, complications! Fragile movements! Expensive repair bills! The horror!

[Chute]

I think the annual calendar feature in the Sky Dweller should trickle down to the Day Date and Datejust models. It would be even nicer if Rolex just added this annual calendar to all watches with a date.

An engineer once told me “complication is the enemy of reliability”, and I totally understand that.

But I don’t understand how watchmaking hasn’t improved over the last few decades like other technology has.

I don’t understand why Seiko doesn’t make annual or perpetual calendars.

I want less complicated. A yellow gold no date sub and a platinum no date sub.

I would like to see a new interpretation of the The Rolex Dato Compax aka Jean Claude Killy in the Cillini line. Maybe a Perpetual Moon Phase like what we saw in the 8171.

Finally, I think the skydweller is wonderful in terms of the power and originality of the movement.

Someone posted a moon-phase sub a while ago and while I wasn't in love with the particular execution I liked the concept. The moon/sea/tides are so inextricably locked. There are days I've cared more about the moon phase than the date.

[rominvicta]

Great poll! Annual calendar (SkyD) combined with moonphase!

1) Since Roles purportedly makes a mountaineer watch, how about an Explorer with an altimeter? My Tissot T Touch with altimeter has been my go to watch in the mountains for years.

2) Since Rolex supports so much golf, how about a range finder complication? Then Phil could know his exact distance to the flag by just glancing at his Cellini!
