However, I would like to see some freshness in Daytona cases as I think they're too small by today's chronographs .In this respect, 2-3 mm increase in size wouldn't hurt anybody but stoic purists |
And when did Rolex introduce these changes and at what cost? The Tissot Powermatic 80 came out over 5 years ago, it is COSC certified and has a 80 hour power reserve. Not to mention the watches cost $1000. IWC, Panerai and others have watches with 7+ days power reserve now. How is 72 hours impressive?
You can name just about any recent Rolex "improvement" and you can see that someone else has already done it and usually cheaper.
