I just saw the pics, I like them! I probably won't end up with one, but I'm glad they are breathing life into a reduced line.

You sure about that? In pics it looks more like a DNN than DON.

14.75 mm thickness is unforgivable. It's a "Tuna Speedmaster".
Tunameter is in my avatar. Added to my Jessica by a member here when we were cat-bombing him.

I was interested in this until I saw it was 14.75mm thick. No thanks.

For reference the Speedy Reduced was 12mm thick.

On the bright side, you can buy a Speedy Reduced, get it serviced by Omega, and have a nice watch for 1/2 the price of this release.
