Oh shit, that actually looks really great. Maybe the reason I didn’t like their press shots was just the brown strap?!

I had a pretty good idea of how it would be but the effect of the rhodium plated dial IRL is better than I'd hoped. In direct sun the sandblasted part sparkles and the chapter ring kind of glows, you get a slightly reddish tone (don’t call it brown), it's not a cold black. Pic attached, not sure if it shows it.
Kind of an all-round watch I think, not dressy, not out-and-out sporty. The teal enamel is a lot more specific, I have to think about what I'm wearing it with.

NWD! It’s a Model 1, but super legible. Looks like a 50s/60s car speedo or something to me. The lacquered hands make a big difference. Really like the depth and texture contrast on the dial too.
