3 Maxi Dials together, and a Question

Red Sub, Sea Dweller Triple 6, and TRansitionnal GMT 16750...

Three different models, but 3 Maxi Dials...

3 maxi looks, with these big round indexes, and a wonderful patina instead of the more modern small circled Luminova indexes...





Now the question:

Till a very recent period, the small circled indexes seemed to be the Rule, as we see them on the Sub 16610, SD 16 600, Explo II 16570, and GMT 16710...

Are the Maxi Dials coming back very strongly?

In 1997, the 1st Exception to the Rule, with the Yacht Master ( 1992 for the YG version, 1997 for the Platinum Y.M )...



Then, in 2003, Rolex Releases the Green Sub, for the 50th Anniversary of this Watch...



In 2007, Rolex presents the new version of the GMT, with the Ceramic Bezel, and once again...Maxi Dial!



And now, this year, the New Deep Sea, replacing the Sea Dweller, with, once again..A Maxi Dial...

So, the question is here, and it seems that nowadays, the small circled indexes are to become classics, as the Explorer II is the only one to stay with them...For how long???



What do you think?

Are you pleased with, or are you sad to see these small circled index disappear slowly, but certainly???

Best.
