Adding a Hacking feature to all movements?
I am a FREQUENT traveler.... flown on one airline, over 100,000 miles this year. I love my DJ41, (purchased earlier this year) but one thing I truly miss is the feature of moving just the hour hand when traveling through time zones. With my GMT, and then my EXII, it was so easy to simply click the hour hands back or forth to accomodate the time change (I might have the term wrong calling it hacking but you get what I mean). I know it doesn't seem like a big deal to pull out the stem to another click and manually move the minute hand ahead or behind two or three hours, but like a lot of things in life, you don't miss something until it's gone. I guess this is a question for Larry and the other smarter people on TRF then me (which pretty much covers everyone ) but is it such a big deal to offer that feature on all movements? I wouldn't think so. The 3235 is outstanding, but this is one function I would really like to see added. Rolex, are you listening?

VERSUS: Submariner 1680 v. 16610
Had a random thought today to periodically start posting a VERSUS picture to compare two watches (and only those two watches) and discuss pros/cons by outlining the differences and getting folks' ideas/thoughts/opinions here. We got folks here who are experts that have been collecting and studying these things for decades to those who are just starting to venture into the crazy world of Rolex (and everyone in between). So I think it would be fun and educational!So to kick it off, I have for everyone today the iconic Submariner in the 'with date' variety. Reference 16610 v. 1680.Some obvious things:Glossy dial v. matteLuminova v. tritiumNon-maxi markers v. maxiWhich do you prefer and why?
