I *can* see why they've stuck with the tried and tested, I just think that, maybe, with all that tech, infrastructure, workforce and huge profits, they night be doing something more interesting. Perhaps I'm asking too much, after all there is a "new" calibre in there. I'm not sure how it differs from the old version, but at least that's new.Noodlefishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12035088490199342160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27375877.post-60532849199422357372011-03-24T22:31:10.772+00:002011-03-24T22:31:10.772+00:00There are 2 ways of looking at Rolex's lazy de...There are 2 ways of looking at Rolex's lazy designs. The 1st is the Rolex/Rolex Fanboys' way, in that the designs are classics and that you can always buy that Rolex you've always liked as a child.<br /><br />The 2nd way is the err... minority way, in which the designs are lazy, and who couldn't design a bigger watch? all you do is stick the drawing through the photocopier and hit 120% and voila! You have a new watch.<br /><br />In all fairness, you can see why Rolex has stuck to the tried and tested, as their Prince line and Cellini line hasn't exactly soared up the sales chart.<br /><br />I'm actually a but annoyed right now- the first time i wrote the comment it was much more succinct and eloquent and a better formed argument, but for some reason, there was an error posting it in explorer, and hitting the "back" button took me to a blank comment page... Grr.... so what you see here is a mere shadow of my original comment. sigh...-KnThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05073331616840459044noreply@blogger.com
