I really like this watch - one of the best recent sports watches and I would be happy to wear it as it was designed to be - a sports watch. What's your thoughts on the Ti 8 hz version ?

I actually spoke to the boutique manager in Zurich and he confirmed that ..

8 Hz does not require more frequent servicing than the conventional mechanical movements, which means every 5-6 years.

Interestingly that was the same response in London when I asked :)

I agree with you it does have some very nice character!

Generally I find it very appealing.

I just wonder if it would look better without Roman numerals?

Fabulous

And in my experience, it looks even better in real Iife than in photos
