What would your ultimate made-up Rolex be?

Mine would be a Bluesy Submariner/GMT Master with a gold 24H hand.

I would say the GMT-master, but with the bezel replaced with a Sub one to measure minutes.

A 14060M with a date window between 4 and 5 o'clock, no cyclopes. A red seconds hand. Loose the white gold surrounds and add small military time numbers on the inner dial like shown on the Breitling Superocean. Sword hands would just put it over the top for me, but I don't want to get too crazy and ask too much

By the way, it's been a while. How's everyone been?

I agree with DSJ. Put me on the list for a Blue TT Sub/GMT Master with a non-red hand.

SD with a nice domed sapphire crystal and Sea-Dweller in red writing. Maxi dial (but bigger than the current one) and matte bracelet.

SUB DATE and Explorer hybrid

A Submariner case with pierced lugs, no timing bezel but instead an Explorer 1type smooth SS bezel. The Dial is the Explorer 1 as well but I can't decide where to but the date window with no cyclops.

In other words an Explorer on steroids with date, triplock crown, guards and the old thru lugs.

It would be a

ROLEX
OYSTER PERPETUAL DATE

SUB-MASTER
2000ft = 600m
SUPERLATIVE CHRONOMETER
OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED


It's just a GMT-IIc with a fatter caseback and crystal.

600m
Maxi Dial
Red GMT hand
24-hr GMT bezel, but with a "pearl", and the first 15-minutes graduated like a dive bezel, in a contrasting color.
HEV
New bracelet with dive extension.
