I have had this watch now for four months. It has taken all sorts of daily abuse in stride and usually stays on my wrist 24 hours a day. The stainless steel case is solid and of beautiful brushed finish with polished accents. I expect it to age gracefully. The sapphire crystal is still without scratches and should stay that way for a long time. When worn it gains 3 or 4 seconds a month, 11 when left in the drawer. The bracelet is solid stainless steel too, without sharp edges to dig into your wrist. The design of the clasp avoids accidental opening. The Arabic numerals are raised and polished to a mirror finish, contributing to the excellent legibility. I like and use the rotatable bezel; for my uses it is often more practical than chronograph hands.

There is nothing I really dislike but I would prefer a less cluttered dial without the inner set of numerals from 14 to 22. The date is too small to be read at a glance and I would prefer the austere look of just 3 hands. But these little idiosyncrasies will not reduce my pleasure of wearing this fine timepiece.
