Feel like the parameters should have included a constraint: Must be built from existing components (with or without regard for the colors/metals they come in).
I'd take what amounts to an Explorer I white dial, but reimagined as the new, 36mm Air King. An OP34 in YG on a strap would also be a great addition (though not sure I myself would buy one). |

Pick your metal material / bezel / dial on present models … something within the realms of what Rolex could / might do (LOL!!!). More of like building your own Range Rover … exterior color, interior color, options, etc. But … I do like seeing enthusiasts’ “fantasy watch” too. That might be another post … “Build Your Fantasy Rolex” |

Platinum Daytona with black bezel, meteorite dial and black sub dials
Or put another way, the new WG meteorite OF design but in full platinum case and bracelet. The only change would be the sub-dials would be flat black and not segmented, and possibly also black meteorite. or RG rainbow daytona with normal lugs / no diamonds on the case. I know, lots think it is hideous, but I really do love it. |

I think a Daytona in the colors of the TT rose gold Yachmaster II would be really cool. Blue ceramic bezel. Gold sub dial outlines. Subtle red accents.
