The problem with a big and thick watch (other than reduced comfort) is that they get bashed around and hooked up on equipment straps a lot more than a smaller one. This gives them a hard life. The raised luminous capsule in the ceramic inserts causes a weakness because it protrudes enough to get knocked and then transmits the entire force of the knock to a small area (that is already weakened by having a hole in it).
The other design flaws, like the bezel that turns too easily and also the very high cost and finally the obsolete nature of this type of diving equipment make it hard to accept that Rolex intend this new model to be an actual working diving watch.
