They look just a little too busy for me, would love to see a 44mm in the same format as my profile picture (my actual watch)

It think it would be too small for a diver chrono. Would it fit the 9900?

Wish they didn't take out the red accents from the chrono vers

Are the fully-colored pushers new, compared to banded-pushers in previous? Anyway, I agree that the chrono is too busy.

I have read a lot of people liking the monochrome approach (just like the ceramic model).

A little too big for my liking but damn they look good.

That black and gold version on the rubber strap has my eye.

Anyone know how thick they are?

Yea, that one caught mine as well. All the gold versions look very good, but when equipped with a strap they really shine.

As for the non-gold models, the blue and black look washed out, while the grey doesn't, which is ironic given the non-chrono one suffers from that criticism. The minute track and contrasting subdials really make the dial pop

I didn't care for the gray/silver dial on the 8800. But this might just push me over the edge.

44mm? I thought that watches were getting back to manageable sizes. Anything bigger than 42 mm makes me look like a kid wearing his dad's (not uncle's!) watch. Taking a closer look at the details, it is too busy for me. the plots in white against the are too contrasting.

I'm going to stick with the one I got in May 2015 - it looks more refined and classy.
