What would open my wallet would be a refresh if the Ranger to something resembling the 7966 date as below enabled by the BB58 movement.
I would love a GMT in the 58 case but can’t see it for a couple of years. Interested to see what they bring out.
As others have said, I'd love a 58 GMT or maybe an update to the 36.
A (red writing) Ranger II, and some sports models without snow flake hands would see some of my cash.
It's just a matter of time...
A date complication for the BB 36. The blue dial is lovely.

Would love to see the GMT with a silver or white dial, sort of a Pan Am with snowflake hands!
Can't see them doing anything with the gmt or 58 line. They're only a year old, plenty of life before needing a revamp.
Pelagos update (gmt?) and/or heritage Chrono update.
Without coming across as a noob, when Basel 2019 happen?

It would be great to see a smaller version of the Pelagos one day.

Agreed. Same for the BB36/41.

A thinner and slightly smaller North Flag
A blue dial blue bezel 58 please
If they produce a 39mm version of the gmt already I’ll eat my hat.
I can’t see a smaller Pelagos either, that’s the professional level tool divers watch of the line up and I really can’t see that being shrunk down for the desk divers.
In reality it’ll just be different colours for the BB58.
I said it before but (this would cover the “shrink the Pelagos brigade”) what they need to do is produce a 40mm snowflake Submariner. I’d be selling my Pelagos for that!
I’d love to see a new ranger, there is enough black bays already.

Check this video out (at 14 seconds).

Does this mean the Submariner classic case will make a return, huh?
If they did I'd be poorer, that's for sure!
I’m sure people will be happy if that variant does and I’m sure it will now with the inclusion in the video but it’s a shame it’s the merc hand version IMO.
Guess I’ll be waiting til 2020 for the snowflake sub. I’m surprised they didn’t go with the snowflake though given it’s huge value increase in the last couple of years. The merc hand sub is a bit more low key and less valuable, you’d think they’d be all over a snowflake version cash cow.
The snowflake is a vintage/heritage look. Tudor need to look to the future, with some elements of DNA from the past.
Personally, I have enough snowflake hand Tudors to last me. So I'm very much looking forward to straight or Mercedes hand dive models!
It's just a matter of time...
Maybe Tudor will discontinue some of the current black bays?
A Rolex sports model you can actually buy :)
That particular sub isn’t looking to the future, it’s still an old model they’d be reproducing. It’s purely a selfish choice that I’d prefer the snowflake. Merc hands are Rolex and I don’t particularly like the dial markers. Like them or loathe them snowflake details are very much Tudor, if I wanted a merc handed Rolex copy there’s a million and one to choose from.
Best bit about Tudor is they produce watches which don’t look too much to the future. Rolex are the ones that do that, I don’t aspire to own any modern Rolex and it’d be a sad day for me if Tudor decided to look to the future too much.
Either way it’s still an interesting watch and it’s great lovers of that model will get to buy one at decent money.
I just love the blue snowflake and to be able to buy one at circa £2500 would be so good. The vintage ones are wildly out of control.
If my memory serves correctly Tudor have posted pictures of this prototype sub before. I can't find the original link now, but a quick google search links to the following reddit page:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Watches/com...dor_prototype/
I would be surprised if Tudor do a close re-release. My guess would be adding colour options to the BB58.
in a video I watched before about 2018 releases, he said at the end that his favourite was coming in 2019! Perhaps it's a sub? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjcEVJvYg_8
Instagram post from Tudor this morning (see what they wrote below pic), I’m still hopeful...
Note the #snowflake50
#snowflake50 would seem to indicate that whatever is coming will feature snowflake hands (no mercedes).
I’d be happy with a blue BB58 but it may be too early for that

I like the look of these Tudors a lot! I hope they keep the case thickness around 11mm and some sort of microadjust on the bracelet and it will be a winner for sure.
Maybe some kind of BB 'limited or 'special' with another variation of dial/insert. Maybe another date model? Hopefully with the under bevels on the mid-case as per the GMT - this makes quite a difference in look and (subjectively) feel.
Genius
Thinner cases and micro adjustment would be great. They have a lot of potential in their back catalogue, but I do think they need another current diver watch, rather than heritage, alongside their Pelagos. Otherwise it's a little like the Moon Watch. That said, Omega seem to be milking and benefiting from that marketing extravaganza quite well.
It's just a matter of time...
I think that they have made a rod for their own back, with the BB getting (and keeping) round indices, and the Pelagos keeping the square indices.
Perhaps there will be a mini Pelagos (ie smaller than the current model but modern). But I cannot see them issuing retro (ie BB range) sub with square indices, it will blur their model lines too much.
But a Pelagos 58 would still be great.

BB58 in another colour, a smaller pelagos would be awesome
