I wish Rolex would make a larger number of the watches they’ve come out with over the past 3 or 4 Basel’s. IMO they don’t need to make any new versions until 2022, their initiatives should be around production increases. Customer loyalty is formed by delivering a product at a price a buyer is willing to pay. Rolex has gotten out of this business. I think they are going to see a hit to customer loyalty over the long run, if they don’t fix this. Maybe I don’t buy a different brand but I just stick with the watches I have to avoid the frustration with Rolex.

thats a good one. All things being equal i would pick nearly every watch without. I dont really like date windows to begin with, so it just makes it bigger. I have only 2 watches that even have a date window

Exactly my feelings. I'd bin my GMT Master II for one of these. I could get behind either 40mm or 42mm, but then I have 7 3/4" wrists.

like deploying oysterflex bracelet on non PM pieces, Rolex would never do this.

Fair argument. I'd suggest that the current 41 is too large and ought to be reduced slightly to be more elegant.

re-release the single red sub mimic the 1680 in the coming Sub change along with the new movement. That is it.

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


Tridor DD40 +1
I’ve thought this many times.... wonder what retail would be these days.

Basically, yes. I’d love an exact DSSD in full brushed titanium for a daily wearer though, it’ll never happen so I’ll be happy with my Pelagos
