The is the most beautiful open dial watch I have ever seen. Not usually a fan of open dials but this is just really nice. And this is with the fixed overlapping subdials.
What is wrong with Zenith? The star is pushed up into the black track. They always seem to have something that is just "wrong" with a lot of their designs. I just don\'t get it. I love this watch but the power reserve is just a little too big, why not make it smaller on the solid dial version.
I was all set to get the Rolex Sea Dweller but the new SBGH257 is really beautiful. I have to imagine the price will come in significantly under the $11K Rolex is targeting the new Sea Dweller - if you can get one. If the Grand Seiko comes in in the $6k to $8k range that will be a hard decision.
Toyota - Lexus Honda - Acura etc... Companies have been doing this for a long time. Heck Rolex even did this with Tudor. Tudor was supposed and is the cheaper alternative to Rolex.
