The dimensions are better yes but I think id have to disagree on the dial. How the three dials are inset is a nice touch, I think the balance is actually better, fresher, which I guess is a good modern trait, well I feel in this case anyway. Markers without the black line I prefer. Space wise the composition is better, it looks less congested and more legible. The case adds a nice bit of weight too which I also think instills the luxury end more and is more modern as well.
99% of the time I think brand look through the archives and ruin their history nicely. Im really not a Tag fan on the whole but I think they really came through on this. I know some won't like the faux patina but I think they're bang on with the colour. Its that vintage Datejust tone that balances with the silver sunburst just perfect.
I think Breitling messed up the Top Time big time. Really not a fan of the colour way myself, something like this would have been a much better modernisation in my opinion.
