Well I did it, I pulled the trigger today. I spent the weekend looking at the OP and the JLC Master Control Sector dial (another one in the running) and went over it over and over in my head. I decided neither one of those would do. I walked into the AD still thinking I may back out but when I saw the snowflake in person again I was convinced this is the one. I spent the entire afternoon looking at the dial, the indexes and the hands. They are simply gorgeous, the workmanship and the attention to detail is unparalleled even for watches at double the price point. I don’t own a Royal Oak but I have had handled one on several occasions and may I be so bold to say the Snowflake dial is up there with it. The movement finish is adaquate but nothing to write home about but then again I don’t have a $30,000 budget so I can’t complain. One of the deciding factor was the spring drive, it’s an interesting technology and seems to have very good reviews but that’ll have to proofed out over a period of wearing and ownership. Overall the quality in terms of finishing and attention to details blows Rolex out of the water. The best part of it is it’s like a secret handshake; it’s a $200 Seiko to 99.9% of the people out there, only watchheads like me knows what a gem it is. Without further ado the obligatory wrist shot.
