yup

what rolex needs to figure out is how to integrate the glidelock or at least the oysterlock

It would be cool if they could be I think space is limited on a jubilee link.

yup

why the glidelock isnt on more models, i have zero clue.. especially the new GMT

 

[rfx45]

they can figure it out

they pay millions on research and development of their watches

keep the cost down probably and they'll justify it by saying its divers watch feature

they also developed the spring clasp for the tudor which seems amazingly comfortable

 

[IATT]

yea.. i dont get it.. i mean i've seen that said, about it being a diving feature.. but still that's one of the things i love about my hulk

really wish they would incorporate it on the GMT as that will probably be my next watch.. i've moved on from the skydweller.. now it's either the batman or the new pepsi with the jubilee bracelet

 

[Leebro]

Yeah I guess it's a case of how much adjustability you really need on any given day. Living in the UK I don't really touch the glidelock unless I'm going to bed (I sleep with my watch on)

 

[IATT]

i just like that you can slightly adjust things.. only time i notice i really need to use it though is when i travel, so would think that would be an incentive to use the glidelock more on the GMT

 

[Leebro]

It definitely would be useful to a lot of people but Rolex seems to move at a glacial pace when it comes to modernisation/making changes.

 

[IATT]

yea.. it's just so easy.. and then the extension on the regular ones seems like such a big jump.. and sliding the slight pins is a chore

 

[Leebro]

Yeah I'm lucky as I have 114060 so no worries for me.

Random question... Can anyone recognise what Mal wears on the Joe Budden podcast? Supposedly he's wearing a rolex but I can't place it.

Rolex Basel predictions?

 

[rfx45]

more of a wishlist since the only thing for certain is a new movement replacing models that still has the old ones but i want a ss coke but then again i don't want it with the pink-ish red ceramic

more skydweller ss dial options, maybe a platinum offering (?)

new colored sub in ss (hoping for a no date version)

What colour were you thinking??

 

[rfx45]

maybe the blue that's offered in white gold?

i don't think they've ever give the no date a colored dial so anything would be a big surprise

id love a rodhium or silver dial

a clean white dial would be amazing!

the grand seiko SBGX115 looks incredible

i was just thinking that a SS smurf would be awesome

Cool. I think it would be good if we could get a white dial submariner after looking at that seiko.
