Horological Meandering

My local store opened at 08:51 am. I was warned that there could be a line but I effectively opened up the store. I selected the black version and had the leather strap replaced by a silicone one for the summer. Still out so I have not taken a photo of it.

What do you think of it???

First impressions, aesthically and mechanically?

Best,

Nicolas

How do you like it?

It's still early here on the west coast, the local Swatch boutique doesn't open for a few more hours.

The periferial rotor is nice but I would rather see more movement versus spiral designs.  The date is too small and I would not miss the white and red dots on the dial. The seconds track is a reason I went with the color. Winding backwards is strange and I figured out how to set the date. The lume on the hands and 5 minute dots seem adequate.  Timing data should follow.

apart and compare the offset. yes i know the 51's time is not well set.

I also picked one up today - unusual to be able to buy a watch that the price isn't a consideration!

Enjoy yours.

8 seconds in approximately 25 and a half hours.

I chose white. The strap is too long (10 holes) but very comfortable material. It was running when I got it and I haven't wound it. I agree the date is too small.

as seen here in this image from a (fondly remembered ;-)) watch gathering during SIHH earlier this year (bottom left):

Its the personal watch of Vianney Halter, who wore it proudly (and signed) as a token for his 'inspirational' winding system with the transparent rotor...
