It's funny, but I'm not enamored of the newer Rolex. I have 214270 that, quite frankly, I don't wear. I acquired it in a watch trade. The newer Rolex have lost their panache of world class tool watches and when I hear someone complain that they have a scratch on their Rolex I just roll my eyes. Whatever happened to the idea that the watches were also tool watches like the Comex subs. Whatever happened to the idea that prisoners of war could order a Rolex (mostly Speed Kings) while incarcerated in a Nazi POW camp. I like Rolex, I have several vintage pieces my favorite being my 16753 GMT. But for me, a Rolex is a high quality watch that is also a tool watch in many cases. And what about the small manual wind watches like the 6466 Oysterdate, no longer produced? In some ways, Rolex going so upscale has caused it to loose its way. Really, no wonder Bond switched to Omega.
