To that, perhaps the new one is completely revised from the previous version and they've ratcheted up their workmanship to justify the price increase?
Who knows.
Maybe the detail on the dial is a faithful reproduction of the actual lunar surface. The detail of the Saturn V rocket alone is commendable

That's what happens when one sleeps on it.
One often wakes up to view things with a fresh set of eyes.
When I looked closer at the 'lunar surface' I also found it quite enviable. It is way nicer, at least in big pictures. Not sure my eye can appreciate the difference on my wrist however. Will have to reserve final judgement for when I can try one on.
