The thickness increases are the fault of not only the ceramic bezel inlays, but also because of the movements and display backs. Again, for me these are improvements that surpass the concerns of size increases, and Omega's success with the model seem to indicate many others feel the same way. You don't, which is fine. You also, if memory serves, aren't a modern Omega collector. Presumably, watches like this are a reason why. Again, no problem there for me. Your points about tech and watches as a technology are appreciated, but I feel it's a bit off. Sure, we all know they're wrist candy, but they still are purposeful. Additionally, is it wrong to geek out over an 8800 but okay to do so over a 751 simply because of when they were implemented? Both are beautiful, wonderfully engineered movements.
As for the OP, going shallowly off their profile pic, coupled with the ignorant statement about "2 designs in black and blue" leads me to believe that they are a new owner of the SMPc and, well, are basically saying "mine is the bestestest" or something similar. As the owner of the current version and the original, color me a fan of the new.
