“The Supercase was a mistake!”

“The Supercase was a mistake,” claims C&C. Definitive Submariner guide from Crown & Caliber. Great resource. Do you agree? |

Supercase is the BEST case. Fit me so well and I absolutely love the fat lugs.
The new one to be honest is not much different actually. When I tried on both it feels almost the same to me. LOL |

The lugs don't bother me as much as the 1980s-style shoulder-pad crown guards, which sadly have carried over.

You can like the Supercase lugs, but that don't make 'em pretty
![]() The Oyster case was never meant to have such fat lugs. They had the design right back in the '50s and I'm glad for Rolex to see the error in their ways. They may have sold a ton but, aesthetically speaking, the Supercase was a miss.

Nope, not fat unless your magnifying the lugs vs the rest of the watch which is a ridiculous way to look at it. Your watch btw, outstanding!!

I think the supercase works very nicely but especially for watches with colored bezels like the LVc

Most YouTube channels are click bait and little more.

So I’m not a Rolex enthusiast for not wanting to watch? It is my choice, I have read on TRF people’s opinions on many varied subjects and the Maxi case one has been done time and time again, I now find it tedious that the same subject is regurgitated, for me the hype and frenzy associated with slight changes are inconsequential.

This all reminds me of the slap fights when the blue/black bezeled GMT changed bracelet styles. It was either a vastly superior and completely different watch requiring you to immediately "upgrade", irreversibly turned into a ladies watch, or barely changed. Either way it was hard to get so it must be worth at least $5k extra. Sent from my SM-T830 using Tapatalk |

I’ve never had a problem with the super case. It’s nice. Fits well on my wrist. All good!

Bigger does not always mean better.
Look at the new BMW grills. Big and ugly, specially with the license plate. . . . |
