It's an AWFULLY intriguing watch, though. I live near EWC and if I can make it over there while it's still in stock I'll definitely post some on-wrist impressions here!

The rubber strap is shockingly nice!

I have no idea how they made it feel so much more luxurious than any other rubber strap I've felt.

Such a gorgeous dial

Love that Referenzuhr!

I'd like to get my hands on one of those some day.

Exactly!

Thanks for the reminder!

I love this watch too, and have owned one for many years. Recently I'd been considering letting it go but I think it deserves to survive the cut--this will never be a watch I regret having around!
