As long as we are peering into the future...
And...
The current 32xx discussion aside.
If a "Rolex Recharge" line of hybrid smartwatch comes to market, I think a 33xx would be the right place to start.

Maybe in a Tudor branded model?

Special solar recharge dials, GPS clocking, and a 33xx with micromotor - Ronda and Rolex could do a colab to improve the state of the art.
Perfect intro for all...

In a hybrid smartwatch, the micromotors drive hands independently and could do so for bidirectionally time adjustment (think of GMT set/reset on the fly).

The current state of the horology resolution is 1°, i.e. 360 steps per revolution. If they got that down to .6° it would make a center seconds hand so smooth that no pair of eyes could see the sweep as incremental movement.
