If You Could Have One Wish From Rolex.....??

(cheaper prices doesn't qualify)

If you could could have only ONE wish come true from Rolex, what would it be....

Mine would be a larger Explorer-1 in 42mm.....
(If they DID make 42mm, I'd then want a duplicate watch in White dial, but I didn't say that )

Yep....I could list a dozen things I'd like to see, but that's at the top!

What say you?

I've always said I've never been no true fan of precious metal watches the only Rolex that I'd love to get only because of sentimental value.

A yellow gold root beer GMT Master II with Jubilee bracelet and a ceramic bezel. As a young boy we were very poor my uncle was a pilot for Alitalia and he came by to see us one time flying into Toronto and I never forget the watch he had.

Now that I could buy one they don't make it anymore kind of sucks

The option of having a Glidelock on any model!

My wish from Rolex would be that they have a half price sale every Friday.

Boom.

an entirely new model...a future classic that would/could/might appeal to current Rolex owners & owners-to-be.

envisioning a model (working title/pathfinder). it would have a 24-hour hand with the 24 hour markers etched with luminova along the inner metal ring between the crystal & dial. a movable bezel (shiny SS) with black 360 degree bearing markers + basic indicators for N/S/W/E & any additional pertinent directional indicators.

the watch would be an extension of the Explorer II concept & marketed for rugged wilderness usage (or well-intentioned poseurs outfitted in LL Bean/Eddie Bauer etc.). advertising would run something like..."if Kit Carson wore a Rolex"...

I wish my SubC had AR coating. Just on the inside of the crystal like my Oris would be perfect.

Consider the Tudor heritage ranger if you like a big explorer. Resembles the old 1016 and is 41mm. Right now I would like to see a Tudor GMT released.

Mine were the SD4K and the ceramic SS Daytona, and Rolex came through for me. I'm all out of wishes now.

I'll have to go with Adam's wish: open the archives!

A deep red Sub C with a deep red sunburst dial. That's what I would love to see.
