Very nice

I've owned two in Gen. 2, with black and white dials.  I enjoyed them both, had no problems at all, and loved the steel bracelets.

I thought of them as intermediate in size between the 39 mm ROC and the 42 mm Offshore. 

Neither remains with me, mostly because my wife didn't like the shininess of the white dial and I couldn't see the texture of the black dial well enough, and partly because I was always annoyed by the serif font of the date wheel, thought the case was too thick to achieve elegance, and had too many chronographs with the same movement. 

The Gen. 3 eliminates all of these issues except the thickness, and the blue dial Gen. 3 remains on my wish list.

I've never had to have a VC serviced, but have met quite a few people from VC North America and found their customer service at the highest level.

You'll get many years of serious use from this one, and I, too, recommend the bracelet.
