Today, Anna discusses vintage vs modern Rolex watches!!!

Specifically, she dives headfirst into two iconic models from the Rolex lineup, a 2008 Oyster Perpetual and a 1964 Oyster Perpetual Date 1500, and sees how they stack up against one another. The 1500 is 34mm in diameter, with a smooth steel bezel and Oyster bracelet. Its creamy silver sunray dial features stick markers and alpha hour and minute hands. The automatic movement in this watch is a tank, a direct descendant of the earliest "perpetual" movements that Rolex pioneered.

Next, we have the 1500's distant cousin, the 116000 Oyster Perpetual. Its brilliant blue sunburst dial features an Explorer style layout, complete with lumed numerals. At 36mm, it's not the same 34 as the originals, but it 100% works as far as a contemporary sport-casual Rolex goes. It definitely feels like an upgrade compared to the 1500 on a technical level, though it does lose a bit of the restraint and elegance that that model has. It also features serious improvements in the steel and movement. Rolex's modern 904L stainless steel meets the equally modern 3130 caliber inside, making for one seriously durable watch with longevity in spades.
