I'm scratching my head...

...with this new ALS offering. Didn't post earlier since the design is still marinating somewhere in my brain.
I like the concept, the pushers, the day/date, water resistance, all in steel. The design itself...I'm not sure yet. I think it will grow on me. That said, out of the trinity offerings (and now ALS), I still prefer the VC Overseas.
I don't care for the bracelet. But at least it's not integrated so it can be changed to a strap. I do find the use of trompe l'oeil (making it appear like it's an integrated bracelet when it's not, maybe to spar equally with the 70s vibe from the other trinity offerings?) a bit off-putting.
Regarding the controversial aspects...it wasn't very long ago that folks on these boards were comparing the newly-released white dialed PP Nautilus to a white garage door with the opening horizontal slats (folks considered it sacrilege to the blue dial). Now it's hot, hot, hot. Time often changes minds.
All in all, I guess the jury is still out for me. Looking forward to trying it on.
Kind regards,
Dan
