5 digit = ursala andress
6 digit = kim kardashian

both have nice lines and curves, but for different generations.

Thanks everyone. I posted the pictures as it struck me how many things have changed but many things also stayed the same between the 5 and 6 digit models.

The 5 digit models have more class and subtlety while the 6 digit models are definitely "in your face". Although I prefer the 5 digit lugs I think the 6 digit models still look good on the wrist (just a little odd off the wrist). I guess there is a place in my affections for both the old and the new.

Anyhow, I quite like the idea of Kim Kardashian and Ursula Andress both straddling my wrist at the same time

The order is rapidly fading,
And the first one now,
Will later be last,
For the times they are a-changin'.

And there's no tellin' who that it's namin',
For the loser now,
Will be later to win,
For the times they are a-changin'.

Take your pick. Both will have their day.

I like them both, but it took awhile to get used to the new style case.
