Just saw this watch in the flesh ...

and I was truly impressed. Great value, great fit, light on the wrist, beautiful movement and a colorful dial.


On the flip side, the minute hand was really slim, slim enough to be confused with what would normally be a central seconds hand. Also, the hour hand could have been a fraction shorter. However, I think this was noticeable only because I was looking at the watch for the first time. I think an owner would easily acclimate to these features.

All in all, superb watch offering superb value from a superb brand.

Best Regards,

Mustafa

Agreed with your point on the slim hands.

Esp when trying to take a quick glance of the time.

Congrats from a fellow 1942-er

Congrats on the pickup SF! I've been enjoying this same watch (Red Dial) since December and it's nearly been my every day choice since.

For me, it is indeed "spectacular" ...

... and one of the most attractive recent releases in my eyes. My problem is I cannot have everything I like, especially no additional wrists, so I have to let it pass. Otherwise, it would be my first VC in a moment. Marcus

Needs to be tried on!

This one is so much different "on the wrist" than in pictures. Really like it in person. The eggshell/yellow portion of the dial in person is really nice.

Stopped to take a second look

Passed an AD window earlier this week. For some reason the triple calendar caught my eye and I had to stop and stare. It really looks so good live that it surprised me. Congratulations.

Thanks, my friend :)

As it has been 3 years since your post, interested in your feelings about this piece after 3 years? I love this piece and considering a holiday purchase! Thanks for your response!

Missed this…my bad.

3y on, I still like it for the reasons I bought it. Just that I don’t usually adjust the calendar when I wear it😅.

Congrats on a great choice

Looks awesome on the wrist. Great pic on a classic. I love the uncluttered dial, and especially the old style arabic numeral.
