Just my opinion based on my ownership and preference.
A few things.
I didn't like having to run the chrono in order to get a funcional seconds hand. And having the minute accumulator on the back rendered the chrono function pretty useless.

in a cheap cardboard box? This was 16 years ago for me, my first MIH. I got a second one later from Toren Smith, a well-known anime cartoon guy. but I sold it off to my friend Alec, a Scottish, whiskey-drinking, two-wrist watch collector. ...
Sorely tempted by this as I regretted not getting the first iteration.
Would be nice to see it in the metal first though.
For me the original MIH showed better than it wore.
I got mine in September, 2007, and recently sold it here. I found the watch totally eye catching, as did everyone who saw it. But it was operationally pretty unrefined, despite being pleasant to look at. And certainly fun to imagine the awesome collaborat...
That’s interesting to hear Steve.
