I am with you! I keep going back and forth between the two, and really prefer the newer non-LE model as well. Very much looking forward to seeing this one in real life.

I do love how they have so accurately emulated the original, though, but I just find it too shiny. The all brushed look on the new one is excellent.

The fabricated retro look on the lume really suits the watch. I don't understand all the negativity about it. After all, it is only colored lume. It is possible to do lume in any color. Even ignoring the effort to look more vintage, the color does add a lot of interest to the dial, far more than white lume would IMO.
