This is a gorgeous watch. The photos do not do it justice. The dial shines with iridescent blues, pinks, and greens as light moves across it.The two-tone metal goes with everything, and it's more understated in person than it looks online. I had some reservations about the size of the face, as I've worn a 29mm for years, but this watch is so beautiful that it doesn't feel too large. It feels powerful but not overpowering. It's solid but not heavy--very comfortable on the wrist. As far as features, the perpetual calendar works perfectly and it's nice not to have to fiddle with the date every couple of months. The watch came preset to the time and date so all I had to do was look on YouTube to find out how to use the World Time function, which works like a charm once you learn how to use it. I wear this watch every day with so much happiness. It reminds me of traveling the world even when I'm stuck at home. Get this watch if you like the photos--you will not regret it.
