No i am more interested to see the bezel compared to the old one.. It seems different.. I think by the way that the matt black on the polar looks better and the orange of the hour hand is different..

Also curious. Definitely more subtle changes than anything

The only side-by-side comparison of "live" watches (not dummies) I've seen was provided by the fellow TRF member LyijyS on a threat about the new Ex2 version.
LyijyS provided a link to this Youtube video At 4'45" both old and new versions are seen side-by-side, making it visible how the AR coating renders the new dials look much "crisper" than the somewhat "hazy" old reference. |

On the video quoted above... At 4'45" do you guys also have the impression that the steel bezel on the new reference is WIDER than the bezel on the 216570 in the middle?
The font on the polar and black watches looks larger to me, leading to a wider bezel. If the movement is on a smaller plate than the outgoing 3187, it might make sense to slightly shrink the actual dial (by 1 mm?) and avoid having a date window floating in the middle of the dial... Perhaps I am paranoid? |

The new model looks similar to the old one but I suspect the % shared components is low to nothing. |

I would say you can pick up on some great technical differences but as for a video, watch by watch comparison I would love to see that as well so let me know! |
