I guess that's why it's a classic!
But evolution is good. Sometimes it leads to a dead end, but at least it focuses us on the features we loved in earlier watches.
Or it could be like some new cars, it takes a while to get to love the new model and we miss the one it replaced. But after a while, particularly when others start to go in that design direction, you don't want to go back.
Time will tell.

The many faces of the green Sub
The new green Submariner 116610LV takes on different looks depending on the angle and lightning, ranging from almost black to light green. It is far more attractive in the metal than in photos. In pictures it looks flat while in reality is has a nuanced p...
Love it
I have to admit that I love this watch.. I probably will buy one when the prices become more realistic.....
Bracelet
In pictures, I keep noticing how narrow the bracelet looks in relation to the shoulders of the watch. It may just be that it is a change from what I am used to seeing, and perhaps it emphasizes the watch more, but I will reserve judgement until I have had...

yes, i like this dial very much
the colour of the dial changes depending on how light falls on dial. Moire effect ? I do agree the lugs looks fat compared to older subs but at least this bracelet has brushed centre links.
Nice pic
Have to see them in flesh, A unique Rolex compare with classy one. IMO Thanks for sharing, Regards, Eddy

dun quite like it, just me. still prefer the older anniversary edition green sub
Yes, it is a chameleon...
....but it ain't no gecko! In bright light it can almost wash out, and looks a bit like an algae bloom in the James River. At night, it takes on a whole other persona, as it becomes more of an oak green. Note I do not own one, but a good pal does, and I g...
I'm convinced by the fact that this is a watch to be seen in the flesh
Before judging it. I remember very well the first reactions when the green bezel was released, at the end of 2003... A lot of people was shocked... And a bit later ... Convinced. So, I will reserve any formal judgement, here, before seeing the frog in the...
