The story was that people felt the bezels looked cheap and they faded or got scratched. So they come with this amazing process to make a ceramic bezel and now the replacement cost is 20 times what it used to be. Both typefaces are 'wrong' too.
When I'm wearing them I'm noticing very different things though. Look at the reflections from the skinny lugs and the sharper angles on the fluting for example. That's what catches your eye when you're wearing it.
I think most people buy a sea dweller because they want a date sub without the cyclops.
