I am not a fan of “big cases / lugs” … I passed on the 11 Series Submariners for that very reason, and bought the second it came out, the 12 Series “Bluesy”.
There are some things I like about each, but …
my wish was, that they built the 12 Series Daytona using the left lugs of the 11 Series x 4 on the 12 Series … giving it a more tapered / sleek / proportionate look, as the lugs meld into the bracelet.
The wide body, making the bracelet look narrow, is holding me back.
We’ve been down this road before, when the 11 Series Submariner morphed into the 12 Series Submariner … emotions might be mixed from consumers, but most like the shape / proportions of the 12 Series Subs over the “maxi case” 11 Series Subs … someone at Rolex agreed, and a better looking watch (in my opinion) was delivered in the 12 Series Submariner …
I wish they had done the same with the 12 Series Daytona.
Other opinions will vary, this is just mine.
