Enjoy it!

Really cool piece, congratulations! I went on a mission to try one on a few months ago. The dial isn't to my personal taste, but they've otherwise knocked this one out of the park.

I wonder how many in this forum have one? So far I think I’ve seen three including mine.

Agree... when I finally got to try one on, loved everything about it except the dial- I think it was the lack of minute markers that really bothered me.

Really dig it. What are the dimensions of the case and lug width?

I like mine. If I could customise it I would add black lume to the hands and be done with...

Is it rude to ask what deal you were able to strike? I've been v. tempted and having a ballpark figure to negotiate from would be wonderful.

ian.thomas · 12 July 2019, 07:24 AM

Very nice! I love the design ... I need to go see one in person.

Try 10% retail at an AD. Perhaps double that with a grey / online.

I was able to get 24% off the list price her in Aus. I think our list price is a little inflated especially due to the AUD vs USD xrate.
Good Luck.

I am waiting for my local AD to get the Chrono/GMT in to try on, That looks great!

I admit the dial can sometimes be seen as lacking, it is definitely not the star of the show. It can however be forgiven when one look at all the angles of bracelet and case, even inside the dial under the glas there are angles that sometimes are visually striking.

Awesome version this one! I would definitely get one IF it wasn't for the 42mm. 40mm version is perfect but any bigger and it will be overhang I suspect. Will have a try sometime though you never know.

I actually love how simple the dial is!

avilhena · 13 July 2019, 06:57 AM

I like this watch a lot! I've tried it in some occasions and intend to purchase one someday!

Drdubzz · 14 July 2019, 01:03 AM

these are truly beautiful pieces, congrats on the purchase (and the deal, I hope!)

Hendrikus · 14 July 2019, 04:42 AM

It’s on my list. Just one or two ahead of it, but not many. It will happen..

I was actually thinking of picking this one up.
Interesting watch.

subtona · 15 July 2019, 08:34 AM

I would be really sold on this watch if they managed a 100m WR.
I suppose the ultra thin profile presents a challenge here.

I see this piece as a direct alternative to the nautilus and AP jumbo.

100m WR would be great. i have to admit I have been extra careful with mine when it comes to water, I know 30m should be ok for washing hands etc but still..

_speedmaster_ · 16 July 2019, 09:14 AM

I wish they would reduce the lug & bracelet width. The Octo line are all fantastic engineering feats and great value for money, but they wear too large for me to consider.

niconyc · 17 July 2019, 06:51 AM

Quick question, have you spent much time in the water with it? Thinking of it as a daily watch and I'm often in the water.

I haven't spent any time in the water and would not suggest it as a watch to wear in the water. It is rated at 30m, this generally means splash proof but not really suitable for swimming.
