Nope, only discontinued watches are icons around these parts (and the modern Pepsi). He should probably trade his 126610 for a 116610 at a minimum. Then he’ll have a weaker power reserve, blocky odd-shaped case, and a “proven” movement….and he’ll be able to smile and reminisce about the “good old days” when Rolex made manly tool watches meant for beating to hell. And he will forever be ordained an owner of a model for which there is no waitlist, because the only watches that can be bought today from an AD are “just pretty jewelry”.
