as the pictures tend to still leave you with a flat image. The dial is very detailed and the colors really make it all a 3-D experience. The hands truly glide across the face and the finishing is breath taking. This is a true classic and will be with us for a long, long time.

Best to all,

seems to be the most interesting of all new VC models... I think that it will be much more attractive in metal than on the photos.... A competitor to PP's world time.... I also noticed that the strap has gator on both sides, something that Journe introduc...

I don't do enough traveling now to justify it right now (though that hopefully will change soon), but that sure is a beauty! I really like the top down map so that one can actually see the world moving, especially with that visual day/night indication rig...
