Newbie Submariner Appearance Question(s)

[Mundi]

Hello everyone--- lifelong admirer of the Submariner, but complete novice with regards to Submariner facts/details here with a question for you guys.

I've finally decided to buy a Sub but have noticed (or at least think I am noticing) that the new models seem to have a few features that I don't find particularly appealing. They are: Bigger, wider lugs which make the bracelet look too narrow/small (to me anyway)...and give the appearance that the round face/bezel sits atop a rectangular/square base. Also the bezel seems wider to me and the number markers much larger....making the face seem "crowded" to me.

Am I wrong about these details?

Anyway, my questions...should I be looking at older/vintage models? Will the details I've noticed be changing anytime soon?

Thanks for any help, opinions...and please excuse the novice/newbie descriptions.
