I'm not an expert it looks really clean , I love the lume plots on it.

I'm not sure but was 5508 the red triangle insert without the 15 ticks originally? Or did they come with both

I know this watch.

I'm turned off by the bezel.

The coloration of the metal is odd to me. It also
Appears to be way sharper than any I've ever seen.
