I think the new Prince (from photos anyway) is too blingy and doesn't have the same classiness as the original Rolex Prince.

The benchmark for rectangular watches is the JLC Reverso, and if you compare the Reversos in the 1930s and the modern day Classique or Grand Taille, there isn't that much difference.

Rolex could have mounted a big challenge to the Reverso with a s/s model that retained the great looks of the original.
