To my mind that changed the watch from tool to fashion accessory. Nothing wrong with that per se, but when changing the design to suit a trend (bigger watch trend, but not actually committing to that) that’s not classic in my eyes. Classic stays the same, because it’s an icon and still looks fantastic despite the others changing.


Correct. But Rolex is not PF. They make provably a million watches they sell to all kind of people. They even had to go the SD43 way to bridge Deep sea with other subs.
