I like it but the center ring...why in black. It contrasts and stands out from everything else on the dial. They need to make it more in line with the dial theme. My ocd is drawn to that center ring and can't get by it. Black Circle, Bam!
Otherwise it does look nice, but I never needed to know the month more than the actual day.

No matter how much I see it and how much I truly appreciate the engineering, I can't overcome the aesthetics.

Same setup as the RG Daytona on strap. It feels nice on the wrist.
