Rolex

The Tudor Heritage is an excellent example...

 

Honestly, to me it is too bulky, too thick, too big.

Its case doesn't have the sensuality of the Vintage, and the extra millimetes kill its sweet line.

It is a funny watch, it is not a sensual one, anymoreI had the Tudor Heritage in mind when I typed these lines, and honestly, I do hope that Rolex won't kill the Dayto  with a bigger case.

If you look at the shape of the case and lugs on the new models, they are far from being as elegant as the previous models.

Extra millimeters kill a pure line, and you can see that with every brand which plays this card.

As for the " new " Milgauss, in no way I can say it is a sensual watch, but at least it is a funny, completely crazy and original one, and that, from Rolex, amazed me, and ...convinced me ( in its green version ).

Best,

Nicolas

44 mm Dayto? Are you kidding? I already fear the next evolution ( when, by the way? ) will moderately grow up in size... In a period where most of the brands has understood that the big size watches are not trendy anymore. ( See SIHH tendance, this year )... 

I hear you...but, I think although there is some downsizing..it is really

not that significant. the new 40 is 44...wether we like or not. a daytona would work in 42-44 .....look at the Tudor heritage..42mm Its not the size ..its the way you design it. a neww 42/44 with a ceramic black bezel will hide the extra girth well. What ...

Are we talking about the movement or that's something different altogether? Is there a photo to show? Best Tyler

Hi Imran, A part of me (actually a big part) wants the original lines to stay the way they are but I also realize that change is inevitable. It feels strange to see the new with the old in the same display case. But I guess it's just a matter of time befo...
