Good eye! I tend to like the new model more without the sub-dial numbers; it's a bit cleaner and it now has an applied logo-shield, instead of a printed one.
Is Calibre11.com going to have any article on this model refresh? I'd like to know if there are any substantial changes from the previous version, other than the superficial modifications as discussed above.
By the way, the webpage for this watch says that the TAG Heuer logo is printed onto the dial (under Functions and Features --> Dial); however, the photos in the original post of this thread show that the logo is applied. I was also hoping for a ceramic bezel, but it's aluminum.
