I bought mine in 2011 and it's the first version with a thicker bezel. I prefer this one as all the elements of the dial are well organised for me. With the thinner bezel of the new model, they are more "lost" in my opinion ("too far" from the bezel and more specifically the double swan neck).
I owned a lot of watches but I know that this one will stay at the heart of my collection with few other watches.
Best wishes
