No ceramic bezel?

That’s the only change I’d really miss.

Ironically, within the last 2 years, I bought a new Sub and a new Speedmaster and both are being updated.

I’m happy with what I got.

Its interesting. I actually like the current speedy bracelet and find it as comfortable as my old daytona bracelet. I think the flat link bracelets don't really fit with the curved lugs. The current bracelet is rounded slightly and to my eye really looks more integrated than the flat link. The exception being the flat link bracelets looked better with the old straight lug speedy.

I agree with you on the new bracelet, the taper is too severe here with this new speedy and looks off as a result.

This is the NEW Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch.

I concur. New watch. New word. Don’t get upset about it.
