that the number fonts on the bezel are too wide, also the indices on the dial are too big, when you combine these two effects it creates a crowded and cramped dial.

Perhaps my favourite all time Rolex; having said that if you compare a 16750 or later with the new 2018 version... I think I prefer the new one.... Oh, did I just said that??
