the new one is the longer PR. I just remember thinking why is that fun reasonably priced steel sport Rolex still in the case at this high traffic boutique? And then, if it's still there tomorrow I'm buying it! Thanks for reminding me to get mine out to we...  

Hehehe, I see now.

It was my present for his 18th birthday. He later said to me: "Dad, this is the best present I have ever received." πŸ™ He wears the watch day and night. ...

Although there were very good functional improvements on the 2nd version, I love the first version just for the case - we don't have anymore the rounded case of Rolex (if I'm right not even in DJ36). Best, mahesh.,
