Makes you wonder why Rolex won’t let Submariner buyers choose between Oyster and Jubilée (like Tudor BB buyers can now)…

It's funny how this "avant-garde" shape has become the "Monza" look, when its inspiration was the 1930's Mono-pusher. The original Monza had a 70's Carrera case. LOL

I am showing my ignorance, as that shape is what I perceive to be the Monza, as a relative newbie.

Many of us were/are just as ignorant. As an old timer, I too had always thought this case was a newer design made for the early 2000 Monza remakes. It wasn't until only very recently that I learned the case has been around since the 1930s. That's why I find it amusing when CEO Frederic calls the case "avant-garde".
