I bought this watch months ago from a dealer in Japan (cheaper than $450) and have been wearing it daily since it arrived. For what you pay there is no better value out there. Plus it doesn’t hurt that I get compliments all the time and sometimes it’s mistaken for a Rolex Datejust when just passing by.
The dial is beautiful and easy to read. The fit is comfortable and links are easy to change. The timekeeping is accurate even after weeks. However, I feel that 40mm case diameter is too large for this style. A 38mm would be perfect. The winding crown is difficult to turn because it is flush within the case.
Very clean lines that catches light very well. Also the ice blue is sort of a fume so very nice under light. Also appreciate the spec. With sapphire crystal. I would give this 5 stars if three things were addressed. The clasp is a let down., the horrible water resistance rating and the crown is hard to turn since it is tiny and recessed but overall not a deal breaker considering the other specs and the beauty of this watch.
This a beautiful watch, perfect size to wear everyday, only thing I miss is that the luminosity of the hands is a little weak to see at night, but during daylight is a good looking time piece.
