Have been looking forward to it, as I find this model very interesting indeed. I have no problem with a perpetual calendar in a sports watch. On the contrary I find that it works very well. A perpetual calendar works best (and is best suited) to a watch that is worn more or less every day. And a sports watch is as such an everyday watch. Even though I normally wear dresswatches at work, in the evenings and on weekends it more often than not is a sportswatch on my wrist. I must take a closer look at this one! And - by the way - very nice photos (as always)!
