Is that price drop for the new blue-faced model?

That's an unusual admission, guess they really want to get these sold. Should have made the blue sunburst as well.

I’m not sure about the blue dial at all and they definitely should have retained the red GMT hand.

It was crazy expensive and I think now that the SS model is available, they'll sell even less of the WG model.

Missing the red hand and in the flesh the blue dial is much lighter and not as nice by all Basel accounts.

Definitely a fan of the new blue dial white hand. The steel on jubilee is imo a more historically accurate Pepsi vs the old WG version.

Only because of the price, not the design.
