Just haveing watched the forums on Rolex the past few years, photography is getting more detailed, and the use a 10X loupe seems to be the latest investigation tool for the watch officianado. Internally they are largely unchanged and very robust.

A few years ago this nit-picking of every visible aspect of a watch was unheard of.

My guess is there is no data base (outside Rolex corporate) for which series may have more returns for defects than others.

Watchmakers have their own opinions of how the new ones compare with older models, but I would let them chime in rather than speculate.

Larry, probably the internet and forums like this have got a lot to do with the quality that we now demand from everything.
It is amazing when you think of it that we can see pictures of watches from Singapore,Las Vegas and Australia within 30 minutes of the buyer walking out of the AD. Technology is going far faster than I can keep up with
