I would love a Brushed SS Blackbird Big Date, with contrasting subdials (silver/white like the black dialed Hercules) with an in house Mvmnt, and display back. And offer an analog UTC module as an option !

Just the first and last parts for me.

Yes, I've coveted your BB with UTC for a long while Alan ! She is a beauty !!
I would love to get that set up. I think it would be the "one" watch for me..which I'm trying to achieve.

I would give the Navitimer World a screw down crown, magnetic pushers and make it waterproof. Maybe offer more color/texture options for the dial and slide rule. I always worry about getting it wet even just while washing my hands...

I would reduce the size of the Transocean non-chrono from 43mm to about 38-39mm or even a bit less, and make it an inhouse movement, and keep the price at $5300. Question, though: Would the new inhouse movement fit in a case smaller than 40mm? If not, keep the 2892 movement, reduce the case size, and reduce the price.
Cheers,
Carl

I would cross a Breitling and a Graham watch.

What I can only imagine as a 58mm rubber bezel abomination.

I like Graham's start/stop trigger and wouldn't mind seeing Breitling's version. I should have been more specific.

My wishlist:

*a titanium case
*large legible arabic numerals
*an alarm
* backlight
*perpetual date
*GMT hand
*accurate to a second a year
*waterproof to 200m

In my mind it looks like a SuperOcean GMT with a titanium case and a super duper quartz moment. And a smaller one for women too please. My wife would like one.

Cheers

Hell, as long as we're wishing, I'd like a Breitling that would put hair back on my head. Oh...and knows the best lines to pick up hot, loose blonds at bars and clubs.

There are already watches that run at 5. Its not like I'm hoping for them to put together a board with one of these and strap a lantern battery to my arm. There shouldn't be anything wrong with wishing for a little progress every couple of decades.
