The gift to myself for getting the PhD: I absolutely LOVE the matte finish on the case! I gave a lecture early today with short sleeves and I feel very comfortable wearing it. It attracts no unnecessary attention. (If I got the Breguet marine, I probably ...

I haven't put it down for a single day since I got it and I am so excited to travel with it to Germany later this month. It will be my first time in Europe! Cheers! Wei
