This watch ranks high on my list of favorite purchases - higher than any car, cell phone, article of clothing, and possibly right up there with my camera and lens collection.  It is stylish but not flashy, modern but not too edgy, classic but not stodgy, and bold but not pretentious. I am hardpressed to find an outfit that this watch does not compliment, and even after 28 years of going watch-less I can hardly imagine going out bare-wristed anymore.  It tells time well enough, and from what I've read the movement on which this watch is based is very accurate for a mechanical piece.  The wobble is an ecentricity that has really grown on me - its very interesting feeling the watch "working" on your wrist. That it's an automatic watch is a nice finishing touch for me.  I have not had to manually wind the watch since taking it out of its box (which is also very, very nice).

I believe the case is considered to be on the large side but I haven't found it cumbersome, and I do not have particularly large wrists.  It suits me just fine.  I've used the chronograph functions (mostly when working out or just for fun around the office, like timing the speech of someone I know to be very long-winded).  I'm still looking for a situation where I can use the tachymeter but there are not long stretches of roads with mile markers where I frequently drive.  The strap is distressed brown leather with contrast stitching detail and nicely spaced adjustment positions for the deployment buckle, which took some getting used to for me but now I like it.  I don't see how the strap can be easily replaced although I'm no jeweler - I'm sure it could be done if you wanted to change it.  A brown leather strap just so happened to be one of my requirements for the watch, so I'm keeping it.

For not being a very flashy watch at all, the watch has gotten a lot of compliments. I see watches as much an accessory as they are timepieces, and so finding my first watch required finding one that had as much form as it does function, and in my opinion this watch has both in spades.
