It’s beautiful. The bracelet is great. I love the etching on the dial. The size and fit are great. I really like the sharp angles on the case with integrated bracelet.

But I felt like something is missing. I can’t put my finger on it. But the watch didn’t move me like other Rolex watches (and I love Rolex). May be I need more time…

In my very personal opinion, something is missing because the watch still gives off Datejust-vibes due to the fluted bezel and I never really fell in love with the Datejust

Perhaps a smooth bezel as on the Oysterquartz models of yesteryear and baton indices could help… The bracelet definitely looks impressive. What I’m not too fond of is that the lateral case profile isn’t as angular as it perhaps should be. Overall, the design is certainly well done and I am sure we will see further dial and bezel iterations that will bring something for everyone.

I agree.

Although I love my datejust this one doesn’t do it for me yet.
