I saw this yesterday. I quite like it, especially the ivory dial. Dumb question: How do you tell time on this? It looks like the bottom of the dial is meant to be midnight, so 1:00 am would be what is typically 7:00?

White strap is perfect. I like it better than the bracelet, fwiw.

That's a really nice-looking watch. Love the heirlooms. I have a couple myself.

I have always felt that way about Kuronos. I wonder why he makes them that way? It seems such an obvious fault to me, and has kept me from seriously considering one. Honestly, it's good to see that I'm not alone in this...!

Thanks! Did you notice any issues reading the time with gray hands on gray background? They do have an option for heat-blued hands, which I'm wondering might improve readability.
