This watch comes in a very well-thought-out package containing the watch itself, a spare band in an alternate color and a set of minor additional accessories.  The watch is very sharp looking, stylish but not overbearingly so.  The mechanism is beautiful and fully visible from the front and rear sides of the watch, it keeps reasonably accurate time, and the auto-winding mechanism works well.  So far I've found this watch to be an elegant conversation starter.

At the same time, it is crucial to point out that this is a very large, heavy watch.  Notice that none of the catalog photos picture the watch from its side? There is a reason for that. There is a lot of open air inside the case, which translates into a heavy and unusually thick piece of wrist jewelry.  When I set it down on a flat surface, the watch is as thick as my wife's MacBook Air notebook computer!  This watch is so thick, in fact, that it does not fit under the cuffs of many of my normal work/dress shirts.  That's a pretty big shortcoming. As a result, it's not going to be the right choice for everybody.  I think this watch will look best on men with thick wrists and be more comfortable for them to wear with a short sleeved shirt.
