I like the dial colour and the hands. Nothing else about the front of the watch appeals at all, and as others have pointed out, the nibbled six is particularly jarring. 39 mm isn't large, but it is WAY too large for this movement and it shows.

A smaller size - day I say it, 34 mm - and a better thought-out dial and this watch would be worth the undoubtedly substantial price that is being asked.

Omega Speedy Pro; Tudor Pelagos; Nomos Tangente Neomatik; Casio 'Wave-ceptor', 2 Casio 'G-Shocks'.

The mountain on the dial ruins it for me, otherwise - nicky - Tue, 12 November 2019 12:48 (402 clicks)

I mean the cut off 6 on the dial. [nt] - nicky - Tue, 12 November 2019 12:49 (396 clicks)

Aside from the mangled six, - DRWWE - Tue, 12 November 2019 12:30 (408 clicks)

IMO worse than the nibble is the movement size in this case size - Steve S. (CT) - Tue, 12 November 2019 11:57 (418 clicks)

Sorry should have read Paul's post first [nt] - Steve S. (CT) - Tue, 12 November 2019 11:59 (412 clicks)

A nice looking movement, but the watch suffers from design compromises...>

The six could have been left alone w/ trivial "nibbling". [nt]

- Ratskunk - Tue, 12 November 2019 11:12 (488 clicks)

Not really. You either nibble or you don't :-)...> - Paul Delury - Tue, 12 November 2019 11:29 (429 clicks)

You're correct...if you're going to nibble then go whole hog. [nt]

The clipped "6" ruins the dial. [nt] - two2tone - Tue, 12 November 2019 10:26 (435 clicks)

It's one of the more egregious examples in horology and what's more...

Is a "secret signature" really a secret if announced in a press-release? [nt]
