...There are a lot of changes..
The crown guards are different The lugs are fatter It now has a Maxi Dial the hands are fatter The Glide lock Clasp The numbers on the bezel are platinum PVD ... Then there are the things you can't see.... The integrated spring loaded pins that give the new design bezel it's familiar 120 clicks. The movement contains the Parachrom hairspring The bracelet is solid link all the way. The new lume is Blue
