I think the best improvement is the synthetic crystal and not the "domed" plexiglass.
The crown, the bezel, the bracelet middle links, everything that is gold looking is solid 18k gold.
When I bought my DJ 12 yrs ago, after they adjusted the band, they handed me these tiny gold links that they had taken out and told me that it was worth about $300.
The new DJ's look fine. They're getting pretty funky with the dials though.....
