First, please read this thread. A well-known forum member picked up on design hints from the 5513 that spill over into the modern Sub-C. In particular, the shoulders of the watch. The Sub-C has more pronounced lugs. When comparing against the 5513 and other Rolex models, it appears that they have always gone for a boxy look.

Even as I stare down at my GMT Master and Sub LV, I can see the squared-off form factor. This is a svelte and beautiful design choice. What I cannot tell is how well this translates to the new Sub-C. It appears (in photos) to have the most extreme "SQUARE" shape when you look down upon the entire package. I've also noticed this trend in other modern Rolex.

Is the square shape the face of the future?
