I like the 8L35. It's probably on par with the 2892A2.

Here's a glimpse of one, complements of Duncan "The Watch Bloke".

When talking price, here’s some info for reference:

The 6105 was $95 when it was released.

The Rolex Submariner went from about $150 in the mid 60’s to about $550 by the mid 70’s and $950 in 1980.

My vintage one about 4-5 seconds fast a day even with that crown being different at time of service years ago it passed the water proof test don't know if I would trust it the crown lock still works. Remember when a vintage Tudor snowflake can be had for 2000-3000 and how when Tudor made a come back of that design and how the vintage shot up in price. Well I would buy a vintage 6105 now because what happened to the vintage snowflake mite happen here. I like watches different than others like the crown and case on the 6105 and the hacking wire on a vintage Glycine airman and that makes them interesting in watch making history there unique . Like most of you flippers I was not a flipper I kept my vintage and the way prices jumped on them I could never afford to replace them if I sell them. You snooze you loose when you sell off your vintage before there time.

Hopefully the new 8L35-8119 won’t be to thick.

It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now

Judging by the photo that showed a small gap, I’ll guess 20mm. They probably used the 19mm strap on the display model.

Looks great by my standards but unobtanium. There's no chance I'd flip my 8900 PO for one and unfortunately it seems that would need to happen at this price point.
