I just noticed how the bezel has minute markers, like the SDc, but they managed to execute them in a much more discreet way.

Really? That's funny. 20 years ago the watch houses made 33 mm watches for men and now 39,5 is for women. How things change.

I'd love to see it in SS.

How is 39.5mm a women's model?

It is much more wearable at 14mm in height. Hope there are SS options with bigger size

My guess is that the SS will be offered in one size only - 43.5mm.
