I am changing them on everyday basis and I can`t say. Modern have all those great new features but classic there is something in...soul. I love both of them. to steubi1...don`t care about camera I am on the same boat but I will make some nice pictures in one week and also some newbie mini review of both models 16610 vs 116610. I hope that I survive hard critics here on TRF |

I love the upgrades that the modern watches have. Better clasps, bigger cases, heavier bracelets.. I love it all!! lol

The classic is graceful, elegant and perfectly proportioned.
And the modern is not. What was Rolex thinking...

I voted for the Modern (Current) version. I always embrace change, especially when it is for the better.
Why have you called it the "Super" case? Is that a wide-spread term for the new version?

Modern for me! That doesn't mean that I don't like classics though!

You can't beat classic for value and looks. And, they aren't makin' them anymore either.

I didn't realize my watches are classics!
I guess the new maxi cases have created 3 categories? Vintage, classic and modern!

Is there a bias since most of the voters have the classic? Be interesting to see the results in a few years time. The GMT-C seems to have won most people over but it has taken 2 years. I prefer the classic - less bling. But have not seen the sub-c yet in person so the jury is still out.

They both have their place... But overall I love the look of the Classic Rolex design!

If you're asking about the watches - classic
If you're asking about your camera - it's time to go modern |

JJ, me too, I like them both, beside the new one I have another six "classics".
Actually, it was my intention to have this "black or white" vote, and it is not a surprise to me that 2/3 of us vote for classic. But again, let's see in two years from now.... BTW, the only thing I am not into are vintage Rolexes. I like their look and style and everything, but I am not willing to pay horrible prices for a watch which in the very end is old and worn out...
