My thinking around the 44 vs new 43
Size - 43 should be better fit/comfort
Case shape - seems to be the same as before with no curve on the back so is the same and therefore no impact to comfort. Any improvement will be from the 43 size.
Movement - a positive but not a big point for me
Dial - I think will be better. Will need to see in person.
Pushers - an improvement I think as it make the case shape more compact.
Metals/colours - largely same as before but no pt option
Dial layout - prefer the old one but can probably live with new one
Date position- really dislike new position but can probably live with new one
Logo - a blob. Not good at all. Previous applied logo much, much better
Strap - new quick change is good but will limit non OEM so is mixed
Price - yet another increase...
Availability - let’s wait and see
In summary, no real reason to move to the new version (never mind the financial margin difference). May do over time though.
