Hilarious. We have a moderate among us!

I think we need a third party....part Curmudgeon, part Modernist---Curmodernist? The wall can be a very comfortable place to sit ...

I've already put in my application for the almost recently opened position of TRF sub c marketing manager so I'm in ( although my bah humbug moment is that I don't see the need to go larger).
I also really like the ceramic daytona pics from Basel.
Cheers!
Ps still awaiting an interview for the marketing position!!

In a picture, an old box in the closet, a safe or somewhere else gathering dust, the old ones are O.K., but actually on the wrist, new ones all the way, Modernista. Now where do I sign up?

I am with you Chris I have had just about EVERY sport model Rolex has had to offer and all in the last year or so. Some several times.

Prior to this I wore a SD for about 8 years... The new case, maxi dials, ceramic inserts, DRAMATICALLY improved clasps and bracelets make the new line of Rolex all but impossible to not fall in love with immediately:thumbsup :

I know some say they dont like the larger case/lugs or the like but we all will as there is no going back, only forward

I for one am very happy with what Rolex has to offer currently

I've just purchased the 116710 to replace my 16710 because of the modern numbering on the ceramic bezel.

Radium lasted all night long, buddy, and they only took it of the market because of Modernisti wimps complaining!
I mean, what's growing a tail or burning out your retinae between friends?!
