i love vintage rolex. i started there and i grew up with it.
i received a rolex 116610 sub date in celebration of a few special events in my life. this is my first time i've owned a new model - i've avoided handling them as much as i can.
this maxi case watch is radically different, but embodies a lot that i've wanted in all the different vintage rolex watches i've held - except it's all in ONE modern rolex.
i'm still getting used to the lug to bracelet taper/flow. i'm not sure if i'll grow to like it like so many others did, but that's what aftermarket straps are for (isofrane!).
if you accept it as an inevitable evolutionary leap, it will make sense. it does now to me - all different but yet the same.
my only feeble complaint is the sub glidelock should be the same one as on the DSSD. better than the easylink though!
