Do you think Rolex is moving towards a more boxy form factor?

Agreed. The old sub case had more of a streamlined look, and the new case has more of a chunky masculine look. I almost wish that they would have kept the old case as well so there would have been more options to chose from.

Here is a side by side, you can def see a little more "box" yet still very pleasing.

I liked the ceramic bezel but never got use to the big lugs. So, I sold my GMTIIc after a year . I haven't regretted it a bit .

I agree. The watches are very similar when looked at casually. Also, while the SubC case looks blocky off the wrist, and the transition from lugs to bracelet looks harsh......on the wrist, the transition looks much more natural as the links close to the lug start to curve around the wrist. (The appearance of the watch off my wrist doesn't matter.)

I said it before: good Rolex design stopped at 5 digits.

I'm into the vintage ones, but I also love the new designs. Both are great. Progress is good.
Nostalgia is fun and fascinating.
