Complicated simple watch dilemma
As there are some Crunchers that own the 114270 and some that own the newer 124270 (as well as the older 14270) , I was wondering what people thought about these two…I’m on the list for the new one but honestly I really like 5 digit Rolexes and I think I prefer more things about the older one including a price that is about $2,000 less (though it is not technically a 5 digit reference). For me it’s a close call. What do you think as owners and/or people who care about the minutiae of these things.

Had to time vitals…then bought another watch…then another…I like dress and vintage but usually end up choosing something that can stand up to kids, food service, firefighter EMT stuff and saltwater.

My choice is the 5 digit as it's cheaper even if you got it serviced by RSC and it has the older movement not the 32xx movement series which have some problems
114270 over the 14270. The 14270 movement is a trainwreck. the 31XX series movements are the best in Rolex history IMO. Super reliable and maintains great accuracy. Runs well without servicing for very long intervals. Also, the 114270 has solid end links
