Rolex Chapter Ring, good or bad?

[xf384c]

I think there were probably a discussion about it back then, yet maybe things have changed after some time.

When the Rolex Chapter Ring first came out, I hated it, and thought I will never like it, now after looking at many photos of it, I still hate it.
I think it makes the whole design so messy and it really don't do anything to the watch in functionality-wise.

After Basel 2008, with the new blue bezel and the font of the Deep Sea, I am getting annoyed with all the complicated visual design. I think the chapter ring and YMII started it. I am quite disappointed with Rolex, and there isn't really a nice watch I am looking forward to at this moment. Maybe they can learn from Nike, just retro all their vintage models, I am sure there is a big market for that.

Either you like it or hate it, please share some view. It is open.
