A black dial 5-digit 2-liner Sub, with the modern Oyster bracelet, GlideLock and really good lume! Not sure whether IŽd want a ceramic bezel or stick with aluminium...IŽd have to think hard about that!

Would probably be 2027 releases given the amount of time these things spend in R&D. Puts Pfizer to shame…

I give you the Explorer Date 36mm:

- quick set hour hand (someone else mentioned this before but I can't remember who)
- small date window (black background, white numbers) in between the 4th and 5th hour markers, no cyclops
- 1016 style 3/6/9 luminous hour markers
- optional applied white gold on hour markers
- matt black or meteorite dial (PM only)
- current Oyster or President bracelet (PM only) but with hollow centre links
- available in stainless steel and precious metal (white gold or platinum)
- no waiting list

I would build a triple date moonphase from 36mm case president case in Rosegold with black or white dial.

I would build a daytona with day month windows and a date subdial.

I would build all sports watches in the daytona case aside from sea dweller and deep sea.

I would stop building daytonas in stainless. Just do white gold only since we know now people are willing to pay for them.

I would get rid of the cyclops on the GMT.

I would get rid of the ceramic bezels. They have no soul.

I think I would build a Hulk in 41mm on a Oyster Flex. I also like the idea of the Black as well as White Daytona being 42mm or 41 mm.

A modern Datejust Turn-O-Graph. Somewhere around 40mm, in all Stainless Steel. Black stick Dial, with a red second hand. Jubilee or brushed Oyster bracelet. And a slightly modified Thunderbird bezel.

Their ideas probably come more from AD feedback than an Internet forum representing a mere fraction of Rolex’s global clientele.

A stainless steel submariner with a blue sunburst dial and blue bezel. Basically a Bluesy without a date an no gold.

A white gold Submariner with a blue bezel and meteorite dial.

Actually a stainless steel Submariner, no date, black bezel and a meteorite dial wound be cool too.
