Excellent comments all around. However...
I guess it comes down to the point as to whether this watch would warrant a 2nd look should it not have the name Harry Winston or Opus on it. My personal opinion would be that it probably wouldn't. I agree that the Opus V set the standard when it set the world alight when it was presented. No watch came close to competing with it. However, should the Opus 8 be placed in a line-up with say Greubel Forsey Quad Tourb or De Grisogono's Meccanicco or De Witt's Incognito or AP's Concept Watch II. it wouldn't be able to stand up to the competition.
Just my 2 cents.

Hmmm. I am sorry. Maybe over tea someday.
If you think I shouldn't have criticized the work on the project, or I should just accept it? Do you think it was how I said it? I am sorry if it appeared personal. Do you think there is any way I can let HWRT know when and what I think needs improvement?...

while I am not able to come to a personal conclusion on this watch (I missed it in Basel), I would like to say the following: A heartfelt thank you all (esp. Bernard, Frederic, Alex) who opened their hearts and shared their emotions about this watch! This...
Ditto, Magnus
I didn't see the watch in the flesh, but when I read something from Bernard, as we all know his tastes in nice watches, it makes me think... And even if I didn't see the watch in person, I can say, form the pics of this Opus 8, that obviously, the origina...
I THINK Bernard and Frederic should...
have a public dispute about this watch - A Jay Leno show would be nothing against this! SERIOUSLY! Magnus
