Just for fun musings, which car model do you think is most analogous to this model? For some reason I keep feeling it's like a Mercedes G wagon. Tall, boxy, way over engineered (in a good way).

I disagree with ‘boxy’ as the whole difference with this design is the curved glass and bezel and also the pushers are redesigned with a less angular look. In addition it’s a sports watch so surely to answer your question it has to be likened to a sports car? I’d say Porsche 992.

That's a good point, though my impression after 2 months largely remains, wow, this dial is so 'powerful' in how it looks, and then I look from the side and go, wow, it's so tall! Lol.

The cabin of a 911 is tall compared to most other sports cars. It’s a great watch whatever people decide to compare it too.
