It’s an “ in the eye of the beholder” thing, of course. But I couldn’t disagree more. I find it amazing.

The reason you were offered this watch was due to amount of money they’d made from you on other purchases. Sorry to break the news

So if I’m being honest I held this same opinion from seeing this reference in photos. I was like “ice blue, chocolate brown, and how much money?!” No chance.

Then I saw one in the flesh in Las Vegas, promptly ate every word I’ve ever said against this color scheme and now I want one lol. Once you see one in the metal it’s a whole different ballgame. It doesn’t coordinate with anything so it goes with everything, and even for a smaller case the wrist presence when you know the watch is undeniable.

Same here. I danced around it for years as I don’t wear brown. But once I tried it on, the brown bezel is really nice and takes on many colors, from bright brown, to maroon, to black. It’s my favorite watch now and a nice alternative to the plethora of black watches I’ve owned.

Yes it does. The ceramic also seems to come alive in the sunlight but almost black indoors.
