An interesting offer...finally.

"Finally" because at first, when it was announced, I really thought "why?". Even if many watch fans conside 38mm watches as a maximum when it comes to classy wear, I thought it didn't bring much, next to the already wide offer for smaller watches (i.e. all the saxonias collection, the 1815 u/d...).
But, as the days go by, I seem to think it is sharply spoted. 40mm would be as classy and as elegant... but with big wrists as the 38.5 with smaller wrists.
However, as you mention, I think that the 1815 is coming dangerously close to the Saxonias. But maybe that the difference in style are what make the gap wide enough.
Time will tell.
Now that this 38.5 exists, would it be a nice one to consider? maybe yes for me... or maybe no aas I could also get the sax o mat old version....
Never easy.
To sum-up, I like it ! But there are contenders
Thanks for the report Fx
