Subtle Beauty

You're right about the heft. There's presence, and then there's 'subtle' presence. I think with the watch being very light goes perfectly well with the whole 'subtle' theme of the watch. You know it's there, but it doesn't 'scream' at you telling you that it's there. Just like its pink hue.

Here’s mine! This is truly a stunning piece. It’s beauty is subtle, but when you notice it, it’s breathtaking.

I honestly don’t know at the moment. Again that Bel Canto doesn”t count. But I do look forward to it!

Ah sorry about unnecessarily explaining that to you hahaha. So far I don’t feel like the watch is fragile because of the complications. The command ring/bezel feel sturdy and as you operate the crown to change dates/local time/gmt time you can feel the gears inside are quite robust. The only thing I noticed so far is that it seems that there’s a bit of higher resistance in the gears to move the dates forward if the hour hand is just after midnight (around 1 to 2 AM position) so sometime I move them forward to after the 4 or 5 AM position and I notice the date wheel moves somewhat smoother after doing that. Other than this observation everything else feels robust.

It’s actually something similar to a cellphone screen protector that the previous owner had a store specializing on this applied on the watch. It hasn’t bothered me too much but I can imagine having them removed in the future. But as of the moment I don’t mind them at all. Probably because I’m still in the honeymoon phase 😊

It's almost as if one of the Seiko Prospex guys kidnapped a dial artisan from the Grand Seiko factory and told them to design the dials for these as a condition for release hahaha.
