After about 7 months trying to rationalize this watch--which I passionately feel has a gloriously decorated movement and great case--I simply cannot stand the ILLEGIBILITY of the dial one more second! It's over for me, friends. I have to sell this thing. I have to say, no matter how 'cool' a watch may be, if it is not functional FIRST, it is Sh*t. Period. And I will say again I love the movement and case. But when you can't see the godd$#mn hands--it makes you a little mad. Onto Patek! Bye.
