Anyone else prefer 3rd gen Seamaster to current?

[aliasneo07]

I have a Blue SMPc 3rd gen (waveless) and a current generation white dial SMP.

I love them both.

But man, does anyone else love the last generation a bit more? I like literally everything about it more than the current generation, except for the movement (I love 8800 in the current generation.)

Smoth, waveless glossy dial, which I feel is more "mature." Smaller HE escape valve (which isn't needed anyway.) More subdued bezel, making it a bit more versatile. Much smaller and more manageable clasp.

I'm on the hunt for a good shape black dial to match my blue.

Long live 3rd gen!
