I got the upgraded case/glass and bracelet (the paint on original case wore off after about 5 years and the grey resin peeking through silver paint looked pretty ugly).

I absolutely love the stainless steel case. It's heavier (which I love for some reason), looks better, the glass is crystal, and the knobs have a bit more travel and nicer feeling when pushed.

I believe it is possible to request the words on the top and the bottom of the case to not be there. I have no idea why but some people apparently do not like it.

So, totally recommend.
