A beauty David.

For the OP - I sense the new "homage" version has a smaller "big crown" and also not really a fan of over mod'd Subs posing as something they are not...

The one thing I do like on this modification is the deep chamfers on the case... These help tremendously in tempering the big blocky look of the new cases...

I agree, huge improvement on the maxi case. Those other mods, not so much.

David, awesome watch. Looks like it's strangling your wrist though!

I'm not a fan of mods on Rolex. And I'm not sure Rolex should sell modern "vintage" watches. I think they should always be looking forward. I think Tudor is the perfect conduit for any homage or throwback vintage lines.
