I like everything except the time only.
Didn't know Daniel Wellington or Police watches cost so much. Sorry for me no bueno!!!
The build quality, technical nature of the watch, and the movement are all impeccable but IMHO the "less is more" design strategy here has missed the mark.
It's a sort of hybrid watch. It can't definitely be seen as a dress watch mostly because it's too thick, the chrono feature provides more unbalance to the dial, because of the counters and hands. And please, remove the date.
There are only a handful of RO collectors I know that has bought the Code and liked it, and not because they needed to get some credit. They are getting better, but I would like to see sword hands/ something with a bit more presence, and I am not a fan of the glass thing. Has potential, lets see the next phase. If I were to choose one, the rose gold and blue dial.
I may be biased but after seeing the blue dial and ceramic in the flesh, I must say that the dials, case, crystal, and new movement, the CODE Chronographs definitely hold a soft spot in my heart. If you see below - there seems to be a nice fit of the CODE models with existing RO models - as a slightly more dressy, yet "great with a t-shirt and jeans" type of watch. Less in your face with the offshore, less blingy than the RO Jumbo, less stealthy with the ceramic. Thanks for sharing your experien
