I like it, just not the price (SLA057J1 and blue SLA055J1)

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 don't mind the date much to my surprise, it look cleaner than I expected, just 4 grand is way way too much for a 1k watch.
