I tried it on a few weeks ago and it is a great looking watch. I would have to do something about the strap though. In my opinion, it just looks horrible in person and even a little cheap. Incredible watch though.

It’s certainly a big watch, but honestly didn’t realize it was a 46 at the time. I wear a big pilot occasionally so I am used to large watches. My wrist is somewhere between 7.25 and 7.5 and I didn’t feel it was too large nor did my wife. It always depends on the individual, but I liked it.

If my wife (a nissan dealer) gives me a GT-R (regardless of color), i would get this watch in a jiffy.
Been prodding her. Either a 911 carrera (she is not a porsche dealer) or a GT-R. For a couple of years now. To no avail. |

Saw it in person, it's surprisingly good looking, I didn't like it in pictures.

I have to say I am really intrigued buy the running 60 sec counter.
I saw a video on watch finder UK of a similar model and couldn’t stop looking at the design. |

Interesting complication isn't it? You can also get it on cheaper watches, and in a 24-hour indicator version on Citizen Nighthawks, for example.

What’s the purpose of the 60 second curve scale on top of the spring drive power reserve indicator?

Running seconds, the other two are the chronograph registers. |

Perfect match to the GTR.
Both are big and bulky. Not elegant. Technically advanced than their European rivals. |

What is a "Calander-linked time difference" please?

Saw it live in the metal in Japan......cool looking watch for sure but far too big for guys with minimal wrists like myself.

They both have the same type of unusual semi-circular subdial.

That‘s about the same as comparing Rolex with Hamilton....
First see in live, then judge. |

I'm not judging or comparing ... just noting the similarity of that unusual kind of subdial style - nothing else

This is not unusual there are some watches where this is done.
Here also as a GMT display, but in the Grand Seiko ceramic-titanium-chronographs it’s for the second hand. https://www.baume-et-mercier.com/de/...ngreserve.html |
