I’ve seen mixed opinions on this watch but I’ve owned it for 7 months and I love it. This one is never leaving the collection.

Here are a few reasons I love this watch, in rough descending order.

  • The MT5402 movement is astonishingly accurate: With 81 days’ worth of timing runs it’s tracking -0.6 seconds per day.
  • Much has been said about the T-Fit clasp: It’s true, all of it. It’s amazing. The bracelet is outstanding.
  • The dial is simple but the details really do pop in person. The hands are mirror bright, the red tip on the second hand and the cream-colored lume all add subtle details that are quite pleasing. The marketing pictures make the lume look green. It isn’t really. Also, about as legible as they come.
  • It’s a tank. I’ve banged it numerous times and nary a scratch to be seen. Maybe under a loupe? But not to the naked eye. Anyway, who cares, I’m going to be buried in it.
  • The case is great. The polished bezel edge is another delightful touch. In sunlight and from the side, the bezel edge shines and the light playing on the crystal creates a halo effect that is lovely.
  • It’s low-key. I’ve had three people spot it in 8 months. That’s the way I like it.
  • It’s versatile: No, you wouldn’t wear it to a black tie or very dressy occasions. But a conference? Church? Hiking the Appalachian Trail? Absolutely.

It’s a steal at $3k, in my honest opinion.

Anyway, new to the group, newish to Reddit. Had an account for a previous job but this is my first personal account and I’m excited to be part of the r/watches community.
