Went from being some of the best in the industry to some of the worst

In general, I tend to gravitate more towards vintage pieces or neo-vintage.

I'm not sure how many of the current model line in general have exhibition case backs, but I can always appreciate when a beautiful movement is on display.

Regarding the solid case backs, some previous models has neat / useful information on there.

I own two A13340's (images below from Chrono24) and like the way those were:





In this instance it's incredibly comfortable and suits the style of the watch.

My only / main issue with some of the newer pieces is the fact they lack the logo I find to be preferable.

It would be nice to heart the OP's reasons for feeling that way.

I think their closed casebacks are still alright, but personally i prefer the exhibition case backs :)
