What would your ultimate made-up Rolex be?
Mine would be a Bluesy Submariner/GMT Master with a gold 24H hand.

I could add a HEV to your features, you know, just for fun.

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.

Quite simple a late 1930s early 40s Rolex Prince doctor dial just as it was.

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. |

Me, too. However, a Red Sub like the photoshop would automatically become my next purchase, no doubt. Even with a date. A brushed bracelet, red lettering and ceramic bezel would do it for me. Red lettering could be bigger. Now, a Sub-Master/ Sub Dweller... that'd be pretty cool, too! Maybe made concurrently with the SD and Subs, it would have the potential to make lots of TRF'ers happy. Just my
