Do you guys enjoy modern Rolexes as well?

Thought it would be nice to see how many of you guys also enjoy modern Rolexes.

After recently acquiring my first Vintage, a 1680 white, I find that I love how it has a more "under the radar" look.
I like the way it wears(smaller), especially on my wrists. The matte dial, patina, character, plexi, flimsy bracelet, everything is just perfect.

I still own and love my BLNR.
I especially love my BLNR because it was my first, but can't help but feel that the lugs have been made too large. I do nevertheless enjoy wearing it.
I also feel that a more recent rolex is a better watch when going on vacation for example. I wouldn't hesitate swimming, showering, beating around my modern, as much as I would my vintage. I don't worry of moisture entering, or corroded/pitting the case, etc on the BLNR.
I will admit that if I didnt have that worry with a vintage GMT, I would have seriously considered a flip.

Do you also enjoy modern rolexes? Or just vintage?
