Which Vintage Rolex would you like Rolex to Reintroduce?

I'd love to see something like this 1950 Moonphase be reintroduced. I think a lot of people would buy it. I don't know why they don't reissue a popular vintage model.

I'm with you there, Linda. I've always yearned for a reissue of the California Dial bubbleback.

Submariner 5508 in 40mm non maxi case, with maxi hands, matte tritium maxi dial, and gilt script. Maybe on a 97200 bracelet?

Second choice would have to be 40mm SS Daytona 6241 with brushed modern bracelet.

Even a modern twist to the moon phase would be most welcome

No cheap retro reintroductions for me, thank you very much. If you want vintage style, buy a vintage watch.

All of the above!

Although I must admit that even if they started making those again I would prefer to look for a vintage model.

Why would it be a "cheap" retro reintroduction? If it is Rolex and they reintroduce a watch, it's still Rolex and would never be a "cheap" watch.

That was my second option. I'd love to see another Midas with a slightly different look to differentiate from the original Midas, same with Moonphase. Rolex could really make some big bucks if they brought back some of these. Of course they would be very expensive and everyone would still have the option of finding the original vintage model versus the new "look alike" but it would make an interesting collection.
