Great to see a case diameter of ~40 mm and the movement case-back display is beautiful, BUT...

Those ugly lugs kill it for me. Far too long, skinny, and angular. UGH. Pass!!

If only they kept the short, twisted lyre-style lugs which work so well on prior incarnations of the Speedmaster (and various Seamaster models). This is one of the best design cues that Omega has ever created and makes it possible to wear larger watches comfortably on smaller wrists. It also contributes to the versatility of after-market straps because they "look right" as the lugs dont stand out so much right next to the straps.

That, and the awful bracelet. Why wouldn't they include their better clasp with the microadjust system???

Incidentally, ugly lugs is exactly why I also would never consider a 6-digit Sub. The maxi case is hideous.
