I really like it. I haven't seen one in person, but it's great looking in photos, and takes on a different personality depending upon the strap.

Very interesting watch. Love the complication and the steel case.

In person I found the details to be a bit too small to be appreciated for my eyes.

If I’m being nit picky… and I always am when it comes to watches, I’m not the biggest fan of hands that don’t make use of the whole dial.

Ie with rare exception, I prefer when the hands go to perimeter of the dial.

I have it and love it. I have yet to find a strap that doesn’t look great on it. Went to Jean Rousseau and bought 4-5 straps and they each really change the personality of the watch.

I completely agree. I’m smitten with the handwritten look of the dial, but my vision isn’t good enough to appreciate it.

Have one, love it. I catch myself treating it like a daily and then put it back in the vault for a while

I have one and it's a real fun watch. So many strap options and the watch looks good with almost any strap.

It’s a fun, casual weekend piece to own and pairs well with different straps.

It's a marvel - but I'd like to ask how owners use it? What practical purpose is served by knowing which week number one is working?

bought it from well regarded dealer on TRF. Full set, like new, 2 years old. Paid $37 which is right in the middle of the price range for this watch.

Wears really well on my wrist, and has quickly become a daily wear. when in public, I prefer that nobody, except other fellow watch dorks, knows what it is.
