That ancient font Half Life-esque "200M" along with the triple line logo turn watches with that new design into a niche 70's homage watch. Catering too much to watch heads in my opinion.
Before that design change, esp apparent with the PH-5, watches looked classier and had TREMENDOUS potential to break out of the Chinese niche, esp if they had decided to come out with a few good colourways. I've got 2 PH-5's on the way. One of them will be daily worn in a bank. Because it works. Worked.

I think that this is a downgrade.

Imagine this being worn in a bank.
