Well, had Rolex offered up a 36mm reissue of the 1016 with it's matte dial I'd have given
them $7,000 in an eyeblink instead of some civilian who met me in Starbucks with a vintage example. Instead of offering me the sizes and dials I want, they drive me away.
My opinion, Rolex has lost their way with the Sport models. Too big for their bracelets, too blingy for their niche. It's like the whole line has turned into derivatives of the Datejust. Rolex chased the oversized craze and missed out on the retro craze. If sales are down it's their own doing frankly.
