This came in today. Ordered from Joshua on 7/23, shipped out on 7/25, arrived on 7/29.
A heavy watch, as you know. Despite that, it feels balanced on the wrist, likely because of the excellent bracelet. I removed one link from each side and tightened the micro-adjustment one notch to make it fit my 7.5 inch wrist fairly snugly.
It started up with a few gentle shakes. The manual winding mechanism feels surprisingly solid. (Still, I wind very s l o w l y.)
Shiny bracelet links sparkle and shine, but easily collect finger smudges.
The pics:
In the shade the dial looks blue due to the AR, I suppose:
Next to my SSD, for size comparison:
My 4 Breitlings, for size comparison:
Next to the EVO:
My only minor niggle (word borrowed from the Brits
) is the date font seems "packed" into the date window.
I like how the white accents stand out against the black dial. Very striking.
A keeper for sure!
