The 6 digits are more tool watches than 5 digits.
There is a accepted criterion in the forum that the 5 digit watches are tool and the 6 digits are more jewelry and I want to express why I do not agree:
1) The bracelet of 6 digits are solid, rudgged, more strong than 5 digits, then can be more abused how a tool. 2) The cerachom bezel can stand more abused for scratches and fade for sun or hits. Can be broken? Not so easy, is more commun a fade or scratched aluminium. 3) More antimagnetic and shock protection properties, and better lubricants for fight hot and cool enviroments. 4) Glidelock for changes of size because of differents enviroments and temperatures. 5) Maxi case more ruddged, crown guards more bigger, maxi dial more visibility in ocean, caves, montain, etc. 6) I am pretty sure than a 6 digits is more strong evolution in each component of early versions. 7) If you take a vintage bracelet vs a modern, the first one is a empty tuna case, the modern are a more strong tool. I do not think that Rolex has lost its way, every time Rolex make a better tool, I trust a thousand times more in an SD43 for example or a Deep Sea than in a 1680 or 1665, which were excellent but there is no comparison. The only reason that modern Rolex seems to be more jewlery is that the ceramic bezel is very brightn than aluminium, we agree on that. What is your opinion? |
