I guess by classic design I’m referring to the case (something more conventional without hollowed lugs, etc.) and dial (traditional fonts with serifs, dial designs, etc.)

Ideally I would have launched my dress line with something safe then started building on it with more experimental designs

That being said the Starwheel is absolutely incredible…

Stopped in to check out the steel codes in person today at the local boutique. I have tried on a couple other precious metal versions and as expected the CODE is always better in person.

They had the green three hander and the blue chrono. They did a great job on the new dial and I definitely like the new indicies and overall design of the text on this version better then the original.

It is a crazy comfortable watch that you would definitely forget you are wearing it. The three hander in particular is crazy light on the wrist. Some may not like the feel of it, others obviously will. The chrono had a bit more heft, but I am curious how light the taupe will feel with that ceramic mid-case.

One interesting thing...it cemented the thought that a green watch won't be very versatile for me personally.

I’m also curious about the beige chrono and how much lighter it will feel. I just hope it’s not so light that I can’t tell it’s there.
Otherwise, your point about the green Codes is well taken, since I also don’t see it being as versatile as the blue or beige, which I see as having alternative strap options that also help with wearability. Of course, this is all specific to me based on what I usually wear, etc.

Absolutely, for many people, it is perfect.

This is the best wrist shot yet! For a non-chrono, the green is really enticing.
Thanks for this pic.

I’m sure it’s been said before but they do wear smaller than their 41mm case size suggests. I’ve got a little over a 6.5” wrist and think my 39mm ROC is the sweet spot for me. I got a chance to look at the Codes in NYC and was pleasantly surprised by the fit and look. Both much better than I anticipated.
