One step forward, two steps back for those. Yeah, it's thinner than the previous one, which it needed to be, but it's less interesting not being a front loader and less of an homage to the original. And of course the rotate-a-date rules it out of contention before it's even started.

The straps look cheap too. It has the X logo which is out of place at this price point (however much they want to be able to sell £4k+ Prospex watches). And yes, the price is a joke. Higher than a number of Grand Seikos, it's totally unjustifiable.

I'm with you on that and with @Howard in regards to the date. Can't see past it. Many watches are ruined for me because of that, probably one of the worst ones for me is the Sinn EZMs where the date seems to be at like 18 past... Just can't deal with that.
