TAG Heuer's Facebook posting from today; I believe it's the first release on social media channels about the 43mm Heuer 01.

That is a great picture!

I think this photo proves my point about the bezel size and font.

I think this photo proves my point about the bezel size and font.

We need to have side by side pictures of the 45mm vs 43mm to see how them compare. To me the bezel font sizing on the 43mm looks fine.

I think this photo proves my point about the bezel size and font.

An argument could be made that the new 2016 Rolex Daytona (40mm) also has an oversized bezel. Below I'm showing a side by side comparison of the two watches. The image of the 43mm Heuer 01 that I found is from TAG Heuer's website, but it might be a computer illustration. Note that the bezel font in this figure appears to be larger than that in the true picture posted above. The word "TACHYMETRE", for example, has a different size in both from what I can tell.

Yes, these new rubber straps look very cool- love the bright yellow lining

The TAG Heuer Instagram account says that the Heuer 01 grey titanium model will be available in October for $6300 USD. This is the one to get.

I am debating on the titanium, but for the non-skeleton model. For the skeleton, I want to see the black ceramic.

The 2016 all-grey models are now on the TAG Heuer US website.

The Titanium with the black rubber strap looks fantastic!

I'm really taken with the titanium with leather.

I think it would look even better with the gray strap offered with the Connected.

Maybe, part of what made me like it is the contrast of the grey watch and brown strap.

Unrelated, I totally missed this the first time around, very tempted with one of these:

A "special edition" for the UK market, with lots of similarities to the Red Bull model. Click on the image to see the video.

Looks like a Black dial with Blue sub-dials and Bezel?
