    Doesn't do it for me at all. :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,819 ✭✭✭✭peasant


    I do like it ...very much actually.
    But I also know that it would not suit me, not at all.

    I thought I'd hate it but I don't quite.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,710 ✭✭✭bogmanfan


    I quite like that too. Again, not sure if it would work on me, but I do like the design.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,819 ✭✭✭✭peasant


    What I find fascinating about it is that it looks plain and simple at first glance, but on closer inspection it reveals quite a few interesting details.

    Like the lugs that merge with the super-imposed second square on top of the square frame ...makes it look like the watch is wearing suspenders.

    Or the date window that looks square at first glance, but actually isn't.

    The small seconds dial that actually has three rings around it.

    There are many aspects I like but I'd like it more if the hour/minute hands were closer to the seconds hand.

    Not for me at all.

    Would I be right in saying that at the stroke of every hour the date window would be slightly obscured by the minute hand?

    That is correct and a strange location to pick.

    I know its quiet common for minute hands to pass over date windows but not at the 12 position....it means you would never get to see the date change as it would obscured as it changes :rolleyes:

    I guess you'd have to wear it on rotation, maybe one day a month ;)

    I agree with people above, like the design, but imagine it wouldn't suit me at all

    I like it

    Its very clean looking

    The narrower a man’s mind, the broader his statements.

    I like it, but square watches never look good on me!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,265 ✭✭✭MiCr0


    i'm not a huge fan of square faced watches, and it just looks like its missing the bold statement that even the simple Monaco's or some of the Rado's have

    I like it but I'm not crazy about the typeface, something more minimalist would look better.
