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.
