Wow! Awesome write-up and I enjoyed reading it! I'm not surprise, the 44mm Novelty scored all straight A in all categories!

Enjoyed reading the review. Thanks for posting.

I switched the strap around and now my novelty sits perfectly on my wrist. Wish the buckle was in the right direction though.

That was a very good review. Spot on! I have big wrist, so the strap size is a 10/10 for me, but I do understand. I purchased mine with those criteria in mine. You are spot on about the size of the watch, it feels more like my Panerai 305 in size than my 44 mm Panerai 233.

It is a in-house movement with a chrono module on top so its not fully integrated which so many people are hoping for.

I tried this watch on today at a boutique. What do you think is a good price to purchase this one?
