Am I the only one that likes the WG surrounds?

[RogerF]

I know a lot of ppl are into the vintage models without the white gold surrounds on the hour markers, but I like them. I just wish Rolex would hurry up and put the maxi dial on the other sport watches

[dman]

Did you say Rolex and hurry up in the same sentence??

They don't know what that means mate!! LOL!

[dman]

Oh yeah, forgot to answer your question! I like both dials, the old and new, I happen to be wearing a vintage now but either dial makes me smile!!

[RogerF]

Bah what do you know? Soon you won't even have the best watch that Rolex makes any more. :(

You're not alone Roger. I love them on my GMT. I think it fihishes the look.

I'm wondering if I should duck, or crawl befor Daren gets back...... I've WG surrounds on my 5513, and SD. I like most dials except for the serti.. but, thats me.

I'm all for them too Roger and would also love to see maxi dials on all models as it makes a great difference in luminosity!!! Every time i have my YM on at night I am amazed at the difference...

Earl, either dial looks great on a 5513. You are sort of stuck since they will only do the newer dials at service so nothing wrong with the WG surrounds on that baby!!

Sooner has happened much faster than later.

I like 'em fine, I own an Exp and a Sub with WG. The only model I really *don't* like them on is the ND sub, for some reason.

[dman]

Micah, you found the abondoned, LOL!! Glad to see you stop by and post my friend, please come around and share your pics and knowledge with us!!

So let me ask you something, how do you feel about the Exp1? Do you like it?

[dman]

I am only LOL cause you know the answer, if you did not know Micah from TZ I would be ducking and taking cover.

Seems like all the ones I have seen are very high right now. Keep on looking my man!!

I like both dials. When I got my GMT II, it had just come out, and I liked the ringed hour markers, so I got it. Now I find the plain white dots -- especially on older GMTs -- very classy. I'd like to get a 6542 or 1675.
