I have tried 2ea. 5 digit references; The 16613 and the 16622, both very fine watches. I really like the Idea that the case was slimmer, but when I had them I missed something...

That Something was found in the 6 digit references, and all their upgrades...

stil · 12 May 2016, 10:11 AM

What about 4?

ABChop · 12 May 2016, 10:14 AM

I was thinking the same thing : )
I like 4 as well.

FTX I · 12 May 2016, 10:18 AM

I like them all but I vote glidelock with my wallet.

Danny83 · 12 May 2016, 10:18 AM

I like them all but prefer 6 digits

Old Expat Beast · 12 May 2016, 10:19 AM

5

douglasf13 · 12 May 2016, 10:22 AM

The new Daytona is the only 6 digit that I like, and I'd still brush the lugs and PCLs.

The 5 digit watches are a bit like the last of the air-cooled Porsches, IMO.

Justinmg · 12 May 2016, 10:23 AM

5 but I own a 6

sickened1 · 12 May 2016, 10:30 AM

I like 5 digit but might get that new Explorer & DaytonaC so both for me.

iliketime · 12 May 2016, 10:31 AM

definitely like the 5 digit, trying to warm up to the 6 digit 114060, but at the end of the day, the heart is set on 14060M as the next rolex

tomilg · 12 May 2016, 10:36 AM

My only 6 is the Sea-Dweller 4K, I love it....but I like my 5513 and my 16610 better!!

Foxglove · 12 May 2016, 10:41 AM

owned both . now that I've gone 6 digit it's hard to go back.

locutus49 · 12 May 2016, 10:44 AM

6

DCheeta · 12 May 2016, 10:58 AM

Both are awesome for different reasons.

AK797 · 12 May 2016, 11:07 AM

6 and a birth year 4.

sairy · 12 May 2016, 11:15 AM

6 digits, new is better

darwin95 · 12 May 2016, 11:17 AM

sea-dweller · 12 May 2016, 11:19 AM

I love both!

joe100 · 12 May 2016, 11:22 AM

The 5 digit era was the golden age for Rolex. All those fine machines from the never discussed 16550 to the always discussed 16610 that became so ubiquitous. I've owned many over the years. That said, my OP39 114300 is my daily wear.

HogwldFLTR · 12 May 2016, 11:39 AM

I like subs, expIIs, and gmts better in five digits; my DJII is six digit. OP, exp, DD, and DJ can go either way. I was pretty confident that I liked five digit watches better but I guess that only is on some models. The rest can go six.

Jason71 · 12 May 2016, 12:01 PM

4's>5's>6's.

tkerrmd · 12 May 2016, 12:04 PM

Have both however really like the new upgrades

LuminousMaximus · 12 May 2016, 12:24 PM

This Woman likes 6...

Dashimmy · 12 May 2016, 12:33 PM

I own 4's,5's, and 6's. I like them all for different reasons.

ltmgeller · 12 May 2016, 12:49 PM

I like the heft and wrist presence of the 6 digit watches.

AzHadEnuf · 12 May 2016, 12:51 PM

4's & 5's
