Either way, I bought one of these elsewhere and had problems with the hour hand AND date change. The "international" warranty wasn't recognised by my local distributor so it had to be sent back to the US for replacement (my local repairer somehow failed to fix it, but I'm not convinced they even opened it.) This was a major PITA and took months, but at least I wasn't out of pocket in the end. The replacement has been fine and within spec (but only just) and I enjoy it, however if I'd known what it was about to put me through I probably wouldn't have bothered.
Compared to the Base 22 it clearly has had some "value engineering" performed. I don't think the watch is worth much more than these discounted prices (however, that's how I feel about the whole Swiss watch industry in general.)
