Am I the only one who does this??

Here is the thing -
I've been buying and selling Rolexes for over a decade now, mostly 5-digit and 6-digit models. For some reason, every time I have a few 5 digit pieces in my collection, I end up missing the modern look and build of the 6-digits and buy them again. But in the end, I always find myself scrolling through social media, drawn back to the 5-digits again. They just feel like the perfect design with proportions that Rolex has ever created.

The one thing I do appreciate about the 6-digits is that you can sometimes buy them new at retail(if you can) and get that "First-owner" experience. But purely from a design standpoint, I still can't say the 6-digits are better in any way.

I've owned 5-digit models like the Daytona(in this case steel 6 digits), GMT Master 2, Exp 1 and 2, and the Sub no-date, but the only 6-digit that actually feels as good as the 5-digits to me was the Ceramic Daytona.

I now have a few 5-digit models but not looking to sell these anymore because I know that I will come back to these models eventually.

Am I the only one who feels this way?
