I'm really thinking hard about this one. It is a discontinued model, but in my opinion it is more desirable than the current version, which has a 42mm case. This one is both smaller (40mm vs. 42mm) and thinner (12.4 mm vs. 13.6mm) than the current model, yet it has the same movement as the current model. Obviously the warranty matters; that said, you could buy this watch and have it repaired at the factory in Germany for less the cost of the current model, should you get a lemon.
