72k vph would be great but Rolex wouldn’t tolerate such a low power reserve. They think like I think. Incremental improvements. No side grades. They don’t want to make compromises like they had to make in the past. Now they’re fully integrated and can make their own decisions.
36k vph is really the perfect balance for proper, contextually accurate timing and a good power reserve.
I’ve noticed that Zeniths new el primeros and even Grand Seiko hi beats have been getting more popular. It’s only a matter of time until Rolex catches up and meets the new standards.
For feng shui type people we really want the seconds divided into 10ths so the hand lands directly on 1/10 intervals then directly in between the indices at .5 seconds and not .625.
This is getting into horological nerdiness that jewelry enthusiasts have no interest in and I get that.
