Update on the new watch
I'm absolutely in love with this watch. It looks sophisticated, minimalistic and elegant. Some could even say it looks too pretty for a tool oriented watch. Anyhow, thanks to the omission of a date window, the dial retains symmety and proportion. Double domed crystal looks stunning.The high degree of curvature, combined with good AR application on both sides really elevates the aesthetic whilst adding a retro charm to the watch. Frankly, just watching that smooth sweeping lollipop hand glide over that gorgeous dial alone brings me joy.
Here are some pros and cons for those interested in buying this watch:
Pros: Great dial design and finishing, tight and clicky bezel, BOF bracelet looks good, though leaves a lot to be desired in the construction department. Strong lume performance. Did I mention I like the double domed glass?
Cons: I wish the bracelet tapered just a little bit more. Clasp is okay but feels kind of cheap and wobbly. It's a significant downgrade compared to the clasp on my Murph. Bezel action is a bit stiff and it's ever so slightly misaligned. Power reserve is kinda short.
