OP Congratualtions on new watch, I'm in UK and still on the wait list (LOL)

As far as I can make out the 15 changes to the watch means only the Winding Crown, Bezel and perhaps case back are from old model??? And guess even they may be different?

So its a complete change?

Congrats. Such a cool looking watch. This is also my next purchase, waiting to have funds available to register my interest. Very looking forward to daily this one, as I tend to be a bit cautious wearing the SkyD in Paris streets.

I do not seem to be able to get mine off my wrist since I got it. Don't seem to wear any other watch any more and in the rare occasion when I decide to do so for whatever reason, I cannot wait to get the polar back on. It's that good!

Congrats and enjoy in good health!
