“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

I couldn't agree more. The new Sub looks too feminine with the slimmer lugs.

I agree 100% on this.

I have both 11 and 12 series, I love both of them and I don't feel any different on my wrist.

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

Thanks C&C

Just drove up market value on the 'supercase' 'maxicase' whatever you call it!!!

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.

I respectfully couldn't disagree more

The lugs on the 11-series get such an overexaggeratedly bad rap. This may just be my opinion, but do people really consider these to be fat and huge lugs? I just don't get it

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!!

In your opinion

Everyone is stating their opinion like fact. You'd think everyone here has personal contact with the head of Rolex design.

I thought it was an informative video. The community is lucky to have a wide array of enthusiasts and resellers investing time on great content.

I’ve never heard of them, who/what are they? yet another deadbeat talentless influencer?

Avs Fan · 18 October 2020, 09:16 AM

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

Etschell · 18 October 2020, 09:16 AM

Most YouTube channels are click bait and little more.

Can’t be bothered to watch and does it really matter ?

Any reasonable Rolex enthusiast or Submariner fan should find the video informative and educational. Nathan and C&C did a great job. Thorough analysis of the design, bracelet, dimensions, hands, etc.

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.

In retrospect, you probably could have watched it in less time than it took to tell us you weren't going to watch and then explain to someone why not watching didn't mean what they suggested it meant about you.

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.

As said I’ve read so many arguments for and against I didn’t need another point of view.

jrs146 · 18 October 2020, 09:32 AM

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.
