I like both but the good thing about vintage is that they can never change them..... they are what they are and that's final.........you never have that feeling of needing to buy the latest model .......to get the new face, get those extra 2mm.... etc etc.

My worry is that watch manufacturers are gradually heading down the "disposable" culture that ruined pre-owned car values.....

Therefore, whilst I still like to see completely new models like the SKD (even though I don't particularly like it myself), I struggle with new variations of an existing model since, it just devalues the last version .....

Now I clearly appreciate that when Rolex have iconic names like Submariner, GMT, Explorer, Daytona etc, this will always happen..........

But it doesn't happen or matter with vintage
