Much like the blue BB58?

路I think it kinda looks like '90s 2000, if you can label that vintage.

路Not just a smaller current model, with no shiny bezel and cyclops?
Smaller size and if the sword hands are kept, will still be intriguing

Thanks @VirgileF I knew 2 versions were due. Rumours I heard were no cyclops on the cal5 version (I dont care for quartz - my vintage Arnie does that job).
Be interesting to see the images as the Aquaracer is one that follows it's own path (well similar to the Seamaster this time)

路I now currently concur on the 2000s vibes. For me they鈥檝e missed the boat on what I probably wanted to see.
Oh well, least it鈥檚 made my mind up on the next incoming.

路After a quick window shop at my local AD (whilst picking up parcels in my lunch hour) thought I'd browse to see what they had. New Aquaracers still look great IMHO compared to Omega (man I hate the Reeces Pieces) and yes more modern than the BB range.
The 43mm I know will be too large for me, but I did spot the black dial 36mm (ladies) version which actually looks very appealing. Only difference I can see is the (obvs case size) dial waves instead of teak pattern (unlike the blue dial version with diamonds).
At some point will go and physically handle them and others.

路For me I would say the flaws are the movement, the size and the cyclops. But I'll stick to my mindset of thinking that TH is the Alfa Romeo of the watch world, logically speaking it isn't the 'best' and it will have flaws and issues. But it makes my heart sing.
And the octagonal markers and lumed bezel

路You dont like the lumed biiiizel? 馃槻
I don鈥檛 think it makes sense to have the lumed bezel on the 844 not the night diver.

I'd agree. The Cal 5 issues aren't nearly as annoying as your average Alfa's monthly CEL meltdown though!
Overall, I enjoy it, despite the flaws (the movement and the cyclops yes; the size really isn't that bad). I'm glad I bought it, though if I did it over again I may have waited for them to be discounted. I don't feel bad about buying at MSRP though

I agree on that, but wouldn't consider it a flaw of the 844
And the octagonal markers
They're really not as bad as you might think. For the most part they appear circular, and then it's only when you look closer they reveal themselves to be octagonal. It turns out to be more of an easter-egg style detail rather than a design hallmark.
