    Im very curious about what's coming to Basel in the next few weeks. So I've been reading anything I can on any rumors available.

    One thing that did get my attention is the new racing speedmaster. Specifically that there were no caseback pictures and somewhere I read a note that the case backs are getting reworked.

    I don't own any "modern" speedmasters because I find them too thick. I'm guessing a reworked caseback would mean slimming them down.

    Anybody can share anything else? Speculation, rumors... thoughts?

    Thanks.

    In memory serves on the newly shown Speedy, it will have a display back. The watch is supposed to be slightly thinner due to decreasing the height of both the front and back crystals.

    Look for the new niad "tech" on the casebacks like the New PO's and Tuesday LE. Personally it's an answer looking for a problem.
