Mahesh's post delves into the often-debated topic of Rolex's modern case designs versus their vintage counterparts. He challenges the common perception that newer references lack the elegance of older models, highlighting Rolex's unwavering commitment to wrist comfort and wearability. This discussion invites collectors to share their personal experiences with Rolex's fit and feel.
Always seeing the pics I thought the new case design of Rolex is not as elegant as the four or five digit references (which I still think is true).
But recently I tried one & realized, what ever the case size is, one can’t challenge Rolex on the attention given to the comfort level on the wrist, the fit & feel….
What is your take ?
Best,
