OK, so who prefers what?

1. Classics
2. New stuff

JimSnyder · 7 November 2010, 11:30 AM

Classic!

Grissom · 7 November 2010, 11:33 AM

Used to be classics, but now seemingly new stuff!

EchoBlueUK · 7 November 2010, 11:33 AM

New clearly no contest.

HL65 · 7 November 2010, 11:34 AM

Combination for me!! They both belong in a good collection!

Badfish179 · 7 November 2010, 11:36 AM

Classics...just like me!

flathead59 · 7 November 2010, 11:38 AM

Classic. New is just bigger.

No fence-sitting allowed.... If you could only have access to the new ones, or the ones from a couple of years ago, which would you prefer? I know which I like, haven't voted yet, though....

Clay · 7 November 2010, 11:41 AM

Need you ask.....

Dr. Robert · 7 November 2010, 12:02 PM

Vive les classiques!

Damage Inc. · 7 November 2010, 12:04 PM

Both really, but given that I only (presently) desire 1 new vs. 3 or 4 vintage pieces I think that pushes me into the 'old' camp.

I will stick to my reality which is both. I own both--I prefer both--so both it is! But if push came to shove--old would win out-as my favorite ones are discontinued!!

nauticajoe · 7 November 2010, 12:37 PM

Another vote for the Classics!

Dan2010 · 7 November 2010, 12:37 PM

New new new new new new new new new........................................new

niner niner seven · 7 November 2010, 12:44 PM

i am a new age guy

i bought the 16710 in 2006, but then the 116710 was released a year later - i therefore immediatly picked that up.

you have to be able to evolve with rolex. you cant stand still.

Speed · 7 November 2010, 12:57 PM

They are ALL Classics!

TRW · 7 November 2010, 12:59 PM

With the exception of the SubC,I really Like the Modern stuff.

PHDX2 · 7 November 2010, 01:09 PM

New, new, new!!!

Alcan · 7 November 2010, 01:20 PM

Hmmm...... let me think about this.

RoleXavier · 7 November 2010, 01:21 PM

I fell in love with the "classics" around 30 years ago when I was only 10 years old;

I guess it will take another 30 years for me to like the new Rolexes (which by that time will be classics too), but then again... since you are being a

little "Spartanian" with your question, I choose the "classics"

SCD · 7 November 2010, 01:38 PM

Classic

Modern

timeisfathaoftruth · 7 November 2010, 02:09 PM

"New" is my answer and "new" gets my vote....but there is one real clasic that I would love to own.

Sunshine · 7 November 2010, 03:07 PM

Comex, over all. If I was offered 4 new or one Comex...I would be the only dumb a## with the Comex!!!

L-16610 · 7 November 2010, 08:07 PM

what is new and what is classi ?

I do not like the rolexes from the years '60 an '70
These 1680 subs feel like crap. A Chinese knockoff feels somethimes better

You can collect them and you can invest in them but I don't like them.

The newest Rolex like the 116610, no
to big, too fat

I prefer Rolexes made in the last 10 years but not their newest models

Rolex tom · 7 November 2010, 08:13 PM

classic i just like the feel of them

GradyPhilpott · 7 November 2010, 08:25 PM

I won't sit on the fence, but I will say that it depends on the model.

The GMT Master · 7 November 2010, 09:15 PM

Emphatically the new models, no contest as far as I'm concerned
