At risk of getting flack over this…
Is anyone else a little annoyed that modern Rolexes seem to not have their minute hands reach all the way up to their minute tracks? All of my other watches/brands seem to have their minute hands reach up to their minute tracks, and even my vintage Day-Date has the minute hand reach the minute hash marks on the dial, but it seems the newer models don’t do that (see screenshot of new President model from their website below). To me, it seems the hands were an afterthought or brought in from a spare parts bin to make the watch if they don’t reach the minute hash marks on the dial. Ok, I’m ready for the bashing. LOL.

It does on the Sub, GMT, Sky-D, Daytona, ExplI, Deep-Sea…
This might be the only model, but maybe just in the picture(I don’t own a Day-Date).
Think of all the metal they don’t have to use, and the cost savings!
Soon we will see shorter hands for everyone, times are tough. Cazalea
I’m wondering if they just put the hands
From the DD or DJ 36 to place in the 40 and 41mm models to save money. 😆
Yes, to me it reminds me of cheap fashion watches.
No attention to detail. Not that I still wouldn’t want a new DD, but that is one thing I don’t like about them that I wish they’d fix.
Yes, that’s what I was thinking.
Does anyone have both a 36 and 40mm Day-Date or Datejust 41 that can measure the minute hand length? 😁
I see what you are saying
That the hash marks on my dial are placed more inwards on the dial than the minute track on the newer model. The result is the same though- the minute hand on the newer model doesn’t reach to the hash marks. lol. To me, I would prefer that the minute hand...
