Got this recently as an early birthday gift and it is breathtaking! The combination of the polished gunmetal finish and the platinum mother of pearl dial is what really sets this apart and it is another one that the online pictures really don't do it justice.  I have other Invictas, but this is my first Excursion and it really is my favorite time piece. It is a heavy, large watch, although not as big as the Russian Diver or Corduba. It looks great on my wrist (8"), and I don't really notice the weight/size after it's on for awhile.
