vlydog Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Call me crazy but... the more exposure I have to wearing Rolex watches the more I tend to favor those models that sit a little higher on the wrist; a little higher profile in other words. Does anyone else share this lofty opinion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Well the only Rolex rep I own is a DSSD so to tell the truth, I'd love to get a Submariner to see what a slimline dive watch is like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlydog Posted August 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 for instance my 1665 GW is a little taller in the saddle than my 5512. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oyster Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 I love profiled cases, they don't need to be high to do it for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Each has its salient points, but, for comfort, thin is in Ask any man who owns...........nah, just ask nanuq. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 In terms of pure comfort, I prefer the slimline case of my vintage sub. No CGs, no harsh angles or squared sides, it is an incredibly comfortable watch to wear. However... Aesthetically speaking though, I am also rather fond of the 'multi-tiered' look of the case of my GMT (which is in the process of being resurrected) Two very different wrist presences... I think to compare them, is to compare apples and oranges, but both certainly have their merits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 For an Oyster case, I like the thin/med profiles quite a lot... Though thick cased Oysters do have their merits... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with the mid-profile, you've got a nice beefy crystal in place to give that multi-tiered effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlydog Posted August 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 beefy crystal works for me too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Traded my DSSD v5 for my 1680 because I couldn't deal with how tall it was! It just sat too high on my wrist. I definitely prefer the lower profile watch cases for myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
