Couldn’t they have squeezed in a few more design cues?!
Nice lug shape but 14mm thickness for a hand wound movement seems a bit crap.

There's a lot going on for sure, haha. I'm sure the mint green hands will put a lot of people off. The colour choices generally are a bit Farer (tasteful, but a certain type of taste), aren't they? It's not really my bag, apart from the petrol blue base dial colour which is lovely IMO.
Agree on the thickness but then a FOIS is also 14mm as are a lot of other Speedmasters IIRC. The box crystal accounts for some of it I guess.

Talking of the Valjoux 72, did y'all see the Word & Wound collab with Nivada Grenchen that's going on sale later today? 38mm case, 20 pieces, with restored Valjoux 72s in them. $6,900.
