I think it is a gorgeous watch!

It's a really nice watch. Have been keeping an eye on these recently. Good value for money

·

I love the brown worldtime

·

I rairly feel this way as I think of myself as a pretty brand neutral/quality driven buyer. Not a brand snob in other words. But my first though was love the design, hate the brand…..

I like the short “lugs” making the last link a little longer.

Is there a specific reason why?

It was truly an unconscious reaction. Upon further reflection I think it maybe due to associating it with citizen or a “barely” luxury brand I suppose.

Another PRX and CW 12 competitor?

Saw it in person a while ago and it looks stunning

I own a highlife. Its a great watch imo. it does wear slightly large so if you have smaller wrist and prefer smaller case sizes the smaller PRX may be a better watch for your. otherwise the finishing, movement and price is great. I bought mine brand new for 1100

That is a very curious statement at the end of your post - I know you’ve been pressed for further comment, but I would be very interested to hear why you hate them without invoking brand snobbery… The brand is only around 35 years old, and yes, was pulled together by a consortium and is now owned by Citizen; considering all that, that is something that should be admired. However… we get comments like this all the time, and it’s fascinating.

I've owned an FC blue dial high life for a year. I love it! Punches above its weight. Very classy, yet sporty. Best part, it fits like a glove.
