Key Points from the Discussion

The watch's 3 ATM water resistance is a point of contention for some collectors, who desire greater practical durability, ideally 5 ATM or 10 ATM, for a timepiece of this caliber.
There's a debate regarding the watch's pricing, with some questioning the £25,000 cost for a steel-cased, non-complication timepiece, suggesting it might not align with current market sentiment.
The dial's minimalist text, featuring only two lines at the top and four at the bottom, along with a 'Swiss made' reminder, is noted for its stark simplicity and potential for playful commentary.

More manufacturers should take heed...

...we don't need every function and subdial called out with superfluous text...

Come on…how can you be offended by it…

Just 2 lines on top, 4 lines in the bottom & just a reminder “Swiss made” if you forget it… 😂
