Red Automatic is written on the batons dial.
Numbers look stenciled.

I was just about to say that. Apparently the SA Blacksteel was in introduction to this model.

Fairly subtle changes, I think. Better than the new Chronomat, though!

I agree. I haven't seen anything horrible ;)

Though, nothing I want to run out and get either.

My watch, car and phone match as the girls say :?

Not from me. If the stenciled numbers are correct, I'm so very happy I got my old one with plain numbers.

I´m a fan, But I´m a fan of the stenciled numbers too. On monster watch like the SA I think the larger tougher looking stenciled numbers look way more fitting than the old plain ones. Although as an owner of a much loved Skyland, I´m biased.

Hi In2Deep,

I am new to this site, (contribute to another very popular forum and then discovered this one)

anyway what a cracking watch you have there!!! :P I am currently saving my pennies for a white dial SA on proII. I guess they have had to make the battons and wings huge as the watch is a pretty formidable siaze at 48mm.

My current model is a CA M1 on proI. ahd it for 6 months now and still awe struck at quality and beauty of the B.

Regards

Sorry for the confusion, but that isn't mine, it's the updated model shown at the recent baselworld fair. Mine is the white dial 'with batons' version that came out last year :)
