I do, too. I may write a formal review, as I haven't seen an accurate one. For instance, I've read that folks are disappointed that it doesn't have a stepped dial. It DOES, indeed, have a stepped dial. Others have complained about the subdial hands not being uniform, though the reason behind it makes perfect sense. The biggest complaint is the use of a sapphire crystal. I don't mind that, at all. I'm thankful there is no AR coat on the outside. It's a perfect marriage of historic design, and modern technology. MY biggest annoyance is the 19mm lug width, but I'm a bit of an expert at finding odd sized straps. Aesthetically, this new FOIS edition is nicer, IMO, than the Speedy Pro. In my case, I don't need two watches so similar in appearance, with the same movement, so my Pro went to a new home, and the proceeds helped defray the cost of this one. This is a keeper, for sure.  |
