That one looks nice, no butchering of that model at least. Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 2 |

Good looking piece. Something that looks more normal. |

Yes, I like this change as well. Not bad at first glance. Not sure about the "moulded" look rider tabs though, have to think about it. |

Thumbs up (from an Aero wearer). They've dropped the grilled square in the middle - that's the big thing - but kept the all-numerals style which replaced the 1/2/4/5/7/8/10/11 batons of the older Aero; tweaked the hands, giving slightly sharper readibility to the minute hand; and added 'Swiss made', which I guess is cheering to read. I think those moulded [(c) Wessa] tabs look good. I don't really see the point of 15/30/45/60 on the dial as well as the bezel, and I prefer the mostly-batons of the older Aero to the all-numerals, but it's cumulatively a big improvement due to that much cleaner dial. Seems to me they've put the Aero on the right track and it's a really cheering, well, 'Evo'. |

Based on the UK price and allowing for the fact that it includes VAT it should come out around $4,000 - $4,200 on bracelet - not bad. |
