Hopefully it keeps the same dimensions and stay under the $4000 mark... I think without a bracelet, that's not too much to ask (a bracelet would be pointless, IMO; this thing was designed to be worn on a rubber waffle...). I'm worried that the 8L movement may make it a little taller than the original, which wouldn't kill it for me, I just hope they can keep it in the 12mm overall thickness range. I would have loved to see a slightly higher (type II) crystal with more of a bevel, but now I'm just being nitpicky. Great looking watch, either way.
Looking forward to it as well. I agree, like the SLA017 and 025, I'm sure it will be thicker than the original. The vintage model just fits perfect, not too heavy not too think. Both the 017 and 025 are pretty heavy.
