When it's about the case..

OP cases are a work of art, like sculptures if you will. Arguably the most beautiful cushion case out there. I love how it just boldly yet smoothly slopes down the corners with proportionate strong looking lugs to hold it down. I was lucky to have stumbled on to this angle. It may look like a simple watch but the case is deceptively well thought out. I'd even go out on a limb and say that it's probably easier to design an Octofinissimo case (which I like as well) or an AP RO playing with straight lines than with something like a 1950 case with smooth curvy edges. I'm not taking shots as AP or Bulgari by the way. Both fine and respectable watch houses and I love ém both. One can't be a "Purist" and "hate"

If you can pull off a 47mm, this along with other similar models is the one to get. 44s are nice but it's in 47s that the cases come in full bloom. Best, Echi
