Is it me or do you miss it to?
I was looking at some of the older 5 digit watches and I miss the oval O in ROLEX.
The 6 digit or at least the sub I have is more rounded Why is that oval O so special and does anyone miss it as well?

What did I just walk into...
Goodness guys, we are going too far. Sometimes I wonder if some even use their watch to tell time. That is literally one of the least talked about items, probably second to how the watches actually fit. |

I’ve never noticed, but prefer the slimmer lugs on the 5 digit references.

I much prefer the 5-digit references aesthetically both on and off the wrist. :)

Now that you mention it. The oval "O" is sublime.
