Messed with classic or go for it?????

So.. obviously liking something or not is completely subjective so what I would like it a more general on the bi metal subs.

The SS and gold with black dial and the same combo with the blue dial. Is this considered messing with a classic or not?

The two tones, espcially the Bluesy are classics in their own right.

Bluesy is a special watch. One of my all time favorite Rolex. Classic to me as it was my first back in the 80's.

I'm not sure I follow. The bluesy has been around since 1984. Introduced as the ref. 16803, it was the first sub with 300m water resistance and also the first with a sapphire crystal. It may have been heresy 30 years ago but, as Maiden said, it is a classic in its own right today.
