One critical question, regarding the only item I would have preferred different: does the Ω symbol disturb the dial’s matt perfection? I have the feeling this might be the only reason to keep me from getting it. Enjoy!! Alex

The all brushed bracelet is another reason to consider the hesalie, but not a deal maker criterion.
