Dare i say the Millenary at least had some identity.

And yes, i do own one myself.
Interesting observation. I guess it all depends on wrist size. When I try them on, I think it wears small and is super comfortable.

Same. Even the 41mm looked and felt smaller than I expected, and perfect.

This is the best one of the bunch, because of the dial. The inner starwheel ring makes the face appear smaller. Yet, when you look at it from the side, still looks and wears like a puck. its the thickest 10mm watch i have. Wears thicker that super case Rolex'.

Ergonomy wise AP product department is not the best one. They needed years and years to made Concept from awful to OK level, the Code is not right from the start, they made a good but still not great thing with the 43 ROO...

I don’t see a problem with the ergonomc factors. I actually find my Code Chrono to be one of the most comfortable watches I own. And I don’t see the thickness as an issue here, it easily slides under a cuff.

You can argue around aesthetics, I personally agree that the large 41mm case needs some action on the dial beyond the 3 hands, that’s why I opted for the chronograph.

Got to say, these are getting pretty attractive in the low 50s, half off MSRP now... I am sure I am the odd one out but I would take this over the Starwheel, with money to save too.
