I tried one on earlier
I was shocked and appalled and fascinated at the same time
It was like a weird dream
I have skinny wrists
I didn't take a photo but wished I had

Never seen one in person, I would like to try it on. See how it feels and looks, it is definitely a beast mode piece.

I had sent some e-mails this weekend to some dealers and some were far away and wanted me to come in to fill out an interest card.
Well I asked if they had one available and no one did lol
Oh well

Not my cup of tea. If I had money to burn I’d by one as a novelty to wear once in a blue moon

I tried on a Challenge several months back and it is just simply too big of a watch for my wrist. It’s an engineering marvel. Incredibly light given its proportions. I have a Deepsea and it’s at the limit of what I feel comfortable wearing. The Challenge just looks cartoonish on me. I’m a big fan of titanium in watches. While it lacks a certain amount of heft associated with Rolex watches, its physical properties are undeniably impressive, especially in this application.

I feel certain I would have this thing rammed into doorway trim on a fairly regular basis because I forgot I even had it on given its light weight. My Deepsea constantly reminds me that it’s on my wrist in a good way. And as such, I don’t find myself crashing it into doorway trimwork.

Cool watch but not for me. When the prices on this one start to drop it will fall the same way a rock in the water does.
