Agree - the 5 day power reserve 9RA5 will likely become the standard spring drive, as the 95AS will replace the current Hi-beat mechanicals
how that will affect the look of the watch is questionable - but I wouldn't be surprised to see the PR indicator on the back...
there will always be a Snowflake in the GS lineup however -
as far as the OP's concern - I keep saying the snowflake keeps getting better..
I took a big leap because the light weight of titanium is usually a turn off for me (I like to feel the watch in my hand - and have never felt any weight to be difficult to carry on my wrist) - but the details in the dial keep slowly revealing themselves over continued wear - the dial highlights, and crevices, and matte parts, it seems different every time I look at like, like the snow is actually drifting ...
3 years later, I am still smitten with the snowflake - although I do have it as part of a heavy rotation - so it continues to surprise me every couple of weeks when I put it back on...
