Do you like the new or old model books?

Just a curious note, Why did Rolex change the style of the booklets?

On the left is my new one, for my EX II 42, the right is the old style, with the ominous picture of a Sperlunk- a Spearlinki- a Spererlkn- ... of a Cave Explorer... I really prefer the old style, with the picture on the front, it just seemed to give it more... Pizaaaaaz (?). You have to change I guess, but why take pictures off the front? Less cost?

What do you think?

Either is fine with me. If I see a new one that means new watch so I'm very happy regardless!!!!!!

I like the new, but then I really haven't given it any thought at all until this very moment.

I agree,a picture "says" more than an embossed cover!

I only really know the new style, and like it. The orange hand on your Explorer II book is very cool. Another reason to pick up that watch.
