I find the 'recent' Master Clontrol slightly less attractive than the previous master classic, as they achieved the intended increase in size mainly by making the rim (smooth bezel) thicker.
That takes a bit of the elegance of, I think.
It remains a nice watch, but the previous one had more class I think.
Anyway, this debate is now outdated, as I think the new 'grande ultrathin' line sort of replaces the master control, and is in a way a turn back to the elegance and proportions of the master classic.
