Let's have some fun

If you could change 1 model in production, what would it be?

For example:

GMT ceramic with red hand / writing
Ceramic Dweller 4000 with red writing / hand
SS daytona with black ceramic
Ceramic version of the red Submariner


Other popular examples I've heard:
bring back lug holes on modern models
42mm Sub or GMT
Daytona with date function

For me personally, I'd like a ceramic GMT with a red hand (and red or white writing)

So let's hear them!

PS and if you're not interested you don't need to participate and bash peoples ideas!

Here's mine:
  • Daytona with pushers like the YM II (no need to unscrew before use)
  • Date for the daytona
  • RG GMT IIc
  • Green dial like the "Hulk" for the YG GMT IIc (replacing the "plain" green aniversary dial)
  • Wider oyster bracelett/clasp for all maxi case watches
  • Blue romans dial for the WG DD II (like the one for the DJ II)
  • ND sub c on a rubberstrap

42mm Sub C, pointy crown guards, more tapered lugs, with the Deepsea Glidelock, and the backlit lumed ceramic bezel we saw on the new Tudor. Perhaps, if I'm greedy and just for kicks, a 1000m WR (but same thickness), and a matte dial. Oh, and a ceramic bearing system for the rotor. And, :) the black ceramic, backlit insert is user changeable with a trick hidden button, red, green and blue ceramic bezels sold separately, at a surprisingly reasonable price. :)

If the DJII had a better clasp, which would be more sturdy and less flimsy as it is now, it would be awesome.

Or if they put the submariner bracelet on it with PCL's that would be perfection.
