Rolex

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-Da...  

This might be the only model, but maybe just in the picture(I don’t own a Day-Date).

Soon we will see shorter hands for everyone, times are tough. Cazalea

From the DD or DJ 36 to place in the 40 and 41mm models to save money. 😆

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.

Does anyone have both a 36 and 40mm Day-Date or Datejust 41 that can measure the minute hand length? 😁

...  

While not as noticeable, it looks like the minute hand still falls a little short of touching the hash marks so maybe they want it to look like that on purpose now for some reason. On my 36, the hand reaches all the way, as it does on my Speedy, for examp...  

Your hands are from the previous ones and thinner but possibly not longer, you should consider the graphics on the dial which are more towards the center, the current hands are thicker but not longer, I have some hands here both thin from the old date day...  

It looks better on your Datejust. The hand looks like it just about touches the minute marks.

If you look carefully at your dial you will see that the second hand lines are aligned with the diamonds, but there is a large space behind them, that is why your hands look longer, not because they are longer but because the second hand graphics are more... 

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... 

Fortunately, in this case I have hands from both the old Date Day model and the new Date Day that I kept from some spare parts that the technical service returned to me for some watches I had. As soon as I get them out of the safe I will show them to you ... 

But no need to go thru all that trouble if a pain.

Cyclops doesn’t bother me as much because that’s a feature of the Rolex that just makes it recognizable as a Rolex. 😁

In my opinion you seem to have a luxury problem
