Seen that Hodinkee article earlier today. Had the same feelings of not being a fan of the look of that piece.

Not for me. I have seen one in the wild like the one shown by Chris B and it looks good in person, quite frankly. Too much money for an old watch.

This is one obviously overpriced watch that I'd like to have. I hope John Mayer (just my guess on who might be the buyer) enjoys it.

Not my cup of tea but it does have a nice tropical vibe - would work with a pair of linen pants and straw fedora on some island somewhere. Although, as someone already pointed out, I'd be in fear of breaking that bakelite bezel, and then what?
