That hobnail bezel is too much glitz for my idea of a Calatrava. Also, I find the seconds hands subdial overbearing. However, I reserve judgment until I see one in the flesh.

That’s exactly why I’m going to be picking mine up next Saturday.

Think it might be ok, will look less glitz in real life. I am surprised they did not go for an enamel dial to make it extra special but would have added on cost.

I still think the 5119/5116 was the right size at 36mm. Here is my 5116G enamel dial which is perfect for me.
