I like the classic and plan on getting one eventually but have noticed prices for those are all over the place though........To me it is a beautifully crafted and proportionate watch.

Although I generally prefer the older case, I think that Maxi looks better with the Sub.

Agree 100%. In the meantime I am in the "old school" camp.
