What do you prefer: The classic Rolex Sporty look or the modern one?

Classic: Classic case
Modern: "Super" case

(I still do not have a good camera):

I'm starting to warm up to the modern, but prefer the classic instead.

NMS75 · 21 July 2010, 04:14 AM

Classic for me :)

AWS · 21 July 2010, 04:44 AM

I like Classic.

JUSTROLEXES · 21 July 2010, 05:02 AM

I like them both.
the 16610, the dive watch icon for the 2oth century
the new version, the dive watch icon for the 21st century.

Hey Bob,

that is well said!

I have always been a classic fan, but the new one....WOW! And the bracelet, and the lume.....

I have a lot to learn because these look exactly the same to me except the emblem on the clasp.

IwozThere · 21 July 2010, 05:11 AM

Classic for me

steubi1 · 21 July 2010, 05:12 AM

One more:

My avatar, this is not California or Italy, no, it is a location in the southern part of Switzerland, in "Ticino"....

DOUBLE 0 SE7EN · 21 July 2010, 05:20 AM

Modern for me..

steubi1 · 21 July 2010, 05:28 AM

Come on you modern guys,

almost everybody is for classic, but the race for the vote is still open----

There must be some blind votes...

Tom

Dan2010 · 21 July 2010, 05:54 AM

Classic all the way. Haven't warmed up to the new lugs yet.

Alessi156 · 21 July 2010, 05:55 AM

Modern. Definitely. Never really like the dial of the 16610. However, if the poll were between modern or vintage I would have to reconsider my vote.

WatchForLife · 21 July 2010, 06:07 AM

Times change. Modern.

watchfreak2003 · 21 July 2010, 06:25 AM

Modern

erling · 21 July 2010, 06:26 AM

Modern.
(Somebody give him a camera!!)

chronus · 21 July 2010, 06:32 AM

The differences are so minor that I don't think you could really like one and not the other. I know others may not feel the same, but just IMO. Now, the bezel colors like the green, or the new ceramic bezels (especially the new blue on the sub) do look quite different, but still not so much so that it is radical.

rfknauss · 21 July 2010, 06:32 AM

Classic, but agree with Gerardo about the modern clasp.

CKLinLA · 21 July 2010, 06:34 AM

Classic, but the modern is not so terrible ...

geronimo509 · 21 July 2010, 06:52 AM

I'm going to need to see a better picture to cast my vote. Would you like to borrow my phone to take the pics?

well kind of.

mike · 21 July 2010, 07:43 AM

From a sentimental standpoint the classic style is my favorite---especially with an acryllic crystal.

pz93c · 21 July 2010, 08:15 AM

Classic.

Foneguy · 21 July 2010, 08:18 AM

Classic !!!! BUT the modern does kinda grow on ya!!

al_bongo · 21 July 2010, 08:31 AM

Classic, the modern ones can be OK, though for the money need more than OK to spalsh the cash.

swissautopro · 21 July 2010, 08:31 AM

Voted classic on this one.

andrew79 · 21 July 2010, 08:41 AM
