Hey I was thinking on the weekend. With that beauty vintage orange ExpII posted last week, I was thinking it would be cool if Rolex decided to change the fourth hand on the ExpII from red to orange, to keep in tune with the history of the ExpII and to further differentiate it from the GMTII.

Not that Rolex will ever do it, but it would be cool, I think.

Thoughts?

I honestly feel that orange is the new black and they should also change all bezels to that lovely orange colour.
Or something like this.

It would make sense if they changed things back for their anniversary models, but they just turn them green.

Could you imagine how sweet a Sub with no crown gaurds would be? An EXP II with the orange fat hand? I would love to see some retro models, but I don't think they will ever do it.

Oh, puh-lease, Daren! With the pain it causes them to make even the smallest moves forward, do you think they'll ever go back?

Sorry, you are correct. Besides they can't get the parts to service old watches anyways right?
