I think it's very subjective, if you like it you should most indeed go for it. However, I know I wouldn't as I'd personally prefer a few other models instead.

Dial looks cool, but the push guards or just over the top. Reminds me of U-Boat watches

I like it, just the push guards look a bit odd and may not be that comfortable on the wrist. Would def need to try it first.

I'll save my money for another model. But that looks like something Arnold would wear.

An extremely brave design from AP and as I recall,it took it's influences from firearms.

But the push guards look like paperclips & spoil it for me.

I saw one in real life a while back, it looks very cool, but for the money there are other options that would take priority for me.
