Seeing them in person makes a huge difference for sure

I definitely plan on crossing the border a couple of times !

Lovin it so far. The dial has a great amount of depth because of how many layers there are. The outer ring appears black most of the time so it's a bit more understated but it's a nice surprise when the cyan pops in direct light

The gmt hand adds a lot of lightplay, and when the sapphire on the dial completely reflects the light there's a really trippy effect where the colors disappears and you only see the gmt markings, the gmt hand and the reflection of the indices above

The strap is good but I think I'll swap it out for something a bit darker. The fact that the tail of the strap doesn't stick out is great though, I'll try to reuse the buckle

The polished concave bezel is a really great design element because it's harder to scratch than a convex one, but a lot of the time it looks like one

The finishing is pretty simple on most of the watch (brushed flanks polished top, I wouldn't have guessed it's titanium if I did not know), but there are some nice touches such as the bezel or the two finishes on the crown (which I love although it's a bit hard to grip)

The lume is how I expected it to be: mediocre. The indices are okay but the hands glow noticeably weaker

If you like one of the earlier models you should definitely try to find it because some prices have significantly dropped

Especially since it seems the pattern isn't the same for every color

The orange one they announced looks quite striking as well

Had they announced a red one I would've probably started saving up for it
