There is something to be said about embracing change, However, I'm a little reserved in terms of the looks of both the SA and yellow dial SO. In regards to the SO there is something about the different hands, the 3,6 and 9 that gives the impression that its incomplete. ie. Try a hand from this, a hand from that and so forth.

Yeah,

They need to quit messing with perfection on the SA and make a 48 MM EVO in 2 tone so we can enjoy the EVO in FULL LING Splendor ! Once you have a Bentley and an SA it's hard to enjoy other good models when they are too small. I have always liked to 2 tone EVO but they look like a little wafer on my wrist.

Yep, the new model has made my mind up - I'm gonna go and buy that 07 black dial / bracelet model I've had my eye on. Hope no-one's snapped it up!

Driver8,

You better hurry up and get that Black SA before they are gone ! Today at lunchtime stop NATTERING over who had the Fish and who had the Ham and Cheese, just pick up the tab like a man and get over to the Ling dealer.

hm...doesnt seem like people like the new 2008 SA but I sort of like it over the curret 07. I guess its preferences of choices...but all in all the SA is def a nice piece though.

Veilsidegs3,

I dont think its an issue of not liking the new SA but more of a "if it isn't broken don't fix it". In my opinion the SA was perfect as is so I can understand the "not so sure" responses :( at worst what they should have done was add this variation as a option.

Jerome - hm...true...The numbers do def change up the watch wardrobe though.

Sucks about the new higher pricing now though....but then again I always thought the SA was a bit underpriced for what you get!!!
