The wait's over, and the
As I've stated before, this watch has been an
for going on 2 years and, as such, my expectations were high. My initial impression..
..couldn't be better! I've seen some great photos of this watch (namely Zeb's, and Chris L's), but I don't think any of them really prepared me for the real deal. What a stunning watch!
The second impression was "The dial's not really black black." Li'l hint of blue there..
..Indeed, you hit it with a soft flash..
..and it looks kinda turqouise. Some kinda blue, anyway. But hey, that's fine by me!
The next thing that caught my eye was the extensive knurling;
Both the bezel and crowns are exquisitely knurled. Functional and beautiful.
Moving on to the bracelet.. I'd been warned that it was folded link, and "rather cheap feeling". But I've got no problem with folded links per se, and this one is a cut above average, IMHO;
The links fit tight - there's no 'rattling', and the weight of the combo is perfectly balanced. The action of the clasp is smooth..
..which is the main thing, to me. Indeed, the overall feel of the bracelet is a cut above my
(also folded-link Ti), and it's street price was more than twice the
..blows the
That said, I was mildly disappointed that the bracelet was too short.
Well.. I expected it, actually. More like I was disappointed in the seller's service (
seller t5tradingcom). I requsted an extra link as a note in my PayPal payment. Didn't hear from them in 2 days, so I duplicated the request via
. Still no answer, and no extra link when the watch arrived.
Ah well, thanks to a certain generous brother
-member I've already got a spare link lined up. I'll name no names, but gosh, ol' Chris Larson sure is a great fellow, ain't he?
Mind you, the bracelet almost fits;
It doesn't cut the circulation off or anything. It's about 1/2 link tight, and wearable in a pinch.
So all in all, I couldn't be happier. The watch has far more presence on the wrist than I expected, somehow. Dunno why I didn't expect it - a 44mm watch with this kinda styling, I should've - but I didn't.

like that watch. (views: 6) (views: 6) (views: 6), but that
is the nicest I have ever seen. (views: 9) That looks very
interesting . Can I ask: How do the outer bezels work? What sort of information do
they provide? (views:
