Does anyone else here not prefer the Supercase Rolex models much??

Ultimately, some of us have a more vintage/retro aesthetic, and some of us have a more contemporary aesthetic, which was the point I was trying to make with the car comparison above.

As I'm going to be wearing the watch, not just sitting around staring at it, these factors are more important to me. Just my two cents.

True. The bulkiness and weight of the Sub-C made it uncomfortable for me on the wrist.

I prefer the 6 digit model cases to the others. Fits my wrist better.

The old one are nice. The new ones are nicer.

Well said.

I love the idea of owning a new Sub, but I just didn't care for the look on my wrist. When the Tudor Black Bay Black came out, that scratched the itch for me--I bought that model the first time I tried it on.

I much prefer the 6 digit subs. Subs to previous models. Why specifically... I don't know perhaps it's the ceramic bezel. For me, the combination of the ceramic bezel and beefier lugs works. As for the DJII... I prefer the aesthetics of the DJ. That said, I think a 40 mm DJ would work perfectly.

I do not have one because of it. I also noticed that they brought the dd and the sd back into a better sense of proportion and so, perhaps, they are aware that some of us do not like the new shapes.
