The bracelet often looks very flat in wrist shots, so here's a picture illustrating its depth (it really is hard to capture with pictures just how amazing this is). Don't worry, there are no huge scratches on it, it's just my hair 😅

It looks more elegant than the standard Speedy, the new dial gives it more of an upscale look. I doubt I'll get it, but it was very nice to see it in the metal 😍

Of course, it's the least I can do.

It wears big and small: The case is bigger than you would expect from a 41mm, but the dial is relatively small. The overall impression depends a lot on the specific wrist, I think. I personally have a large wrist, so it wears great on me (I can easily wear 43mm and have had multiple 45mm watches on, without them looking too big).

I don't even have a VC AD in my country. Prior to buying this, I reached out to a VC enthusiast community. A very generous guy offered me to try his Overseas on, even borrow it! I'd never even met him before, and that was definitely not a risk I wanted to take. In any case, trying it on was more than enough for me: It definitely delivered. While the dial steals the show, the bracelet is something else in real life. I'm not a bracelet guy, but this is so well done, it's insane.

Even with the watch on my own wrist, I fawn over photos of it 😂 It's so photogenic!

This is the last generation, out of production since 2022. I got a great deal, and while it's still a lot of money for a watch, I felt it was a bargain. It's a privilege to be in the financial situation where I'm able to afford it, for sure. Rest assured, that is not lost on me, and it's not something I take for granted.

commented on Rolex vs Zenith ·

In general I prefer Zenith to Rolex, but the Chronomaster sport pictured in this duel unfortunately disappointed me when I got it on the wrist. I'm not big on this version of the Daytona either, but having tried both I must admit I prefer it among these two.
