Got my watch today! and its a beaut!! thanks again to Puretime
Things I really like about this watch, now I have it in my hands:
Solid, feels really well made
Quality, I wasn't sure what to expect but its very good
Strap seems decent, I usually consider straps a consumable I swap out, I might use this one for a while instead
Personal preferences that I like about this design:
Dial/hand combo is so clear. I dislike having to spend ages glancing when I'm in a rush for the time, the white face with dark hands is super clear, the second hand being gold means I don't notice it unless I really want to, the minute hand is distinct from the hour hand, so can't be confused when in a rush
Size is great for my wrist
Not too think, but still chunky
I'll try and take some nice photos tomorrow in decent light but here's one from this afternoon
