TigoleThe 3rd gen only has the date window, and it is magnified with a cyclops. In my experience, cyclops' tend to be the first part of the watch to break. Replacing a crystal can be quite expensive.
kokkosI stand corrected then. All I had read was that the SRP307 series Monsters were replaced with the SRP637 series. I wasn't aware of the SBDC025 series. It looks like these new monsters got a bit of a promotion, with them now having the 6R15 movement.
kokkosTo me, a new generation replaces the previous one and this is not the case IMO.
This SBDC023 is a nice looking diver but it doesn't replace the SRP307 line. It is a higher spec diver with prospex signature that have upgraded movement (not the new entry level 4r36) and a much higher price tag.
The fact that in some forums it is called a 3rd gen monster doesn't make it one.
These new SBDC023/25 are in a different tier than the 2nd gen and are meant to coincide.
