FULL DISCUSSION

For whatever reason the site isn't allowing me to post a review so I'll try posting it here in the discussion instead: I purchased this watch in the gunmetal finish as a dressier alternative to the Seiko SNZG17J1 that has been my most-days daily watch for the past few years. I have found that I really like the gunmetal finish as something less flashy than either stainless or black, and it goes well with my zirconium wedding ring. This watch is a little larger in diameter than the 38mm Seiko, and I think it fits a bit better on my largish ~7.5" wrist as a result. To the watch, and the more I look at it the more impressed I am. All surfaces are brushed on watch and bracelet except for the bezel and the end of the crown which are polished. The finishing is very good, I cannot fault it. The bracelet uses screws and solid links, and feels excellent in quality. The deployment clasp is very nice to use, feels secure, is comfortable and has a very clean appearance. The crown is large and easy to use, the screw down threads are large enough to feel very positive and not fragile in the way many do. The adjustments feel positive and generally it feels great. The movement also looks great through the display case back, though admittedly a lot of the view of the movement is obstructed by the large and complex custom rotor. Moving to the face, the detail is excellent. Every feature is clean and crisp and perfectly aligned. The applied markers sit proud of the dial and have a thin frame of polished metal surrounding lumed centres (including the numerals). The date window is unobtrusive but easy to read and very well colour matched. The dial face has a deep black enamel look with a slight sunburst effect in the sun. The hands are clean and simple, and the painted centre section of each hand is so well matched with the lume colour that only under close inspection in excellent light can you see the transition from paint to lume. The lume is good, it does not have a huge quantity (particularly in comparison to the aforementioned Seiko SNZG17J1) but it is easily read in low light and dark. If you can't tell, I really like this watch. The fit and finish significantly surpassed my expectations. It's a simple watch in design, but the details and quality of finish elevate it to a very very nice piece indeed. I expect this to remain a favourite piece.
