You indeed have mentioned many good points about this watch. I've been into this hobby for more than ten years and currently own several great pieces. Though I'm still interested in many watches, my last purchase was already 14 months ago. Because I buy watches to wear and my wrist time is limited. If I don't expect the new watch could get enough wrist time, I won't get it. I've also considered this watch since its announcement and finally pulled the trigger yesterday. I like it more and more so finally I'm convinced it would join into my core rotation.
