Yes so far I’m extremely pleased . It’s proven to be supremely comfortable and durable.

Also tried on the skeleton version in ceramic, again, hard to tell the time so passed. Haven't seen the new polished Steel version in the flesh yet, will wait to try on before I pass judgment. It does have better water resistance 100m vs 30m so that's nice. A pic of the back, it trully is amazing and that micro rotor..... |

May as well wait and see if you like the new finish, certainly would be nice to get the extra WR. Good Luck, can't go wrong either way

Loving my steel version. Gets many compliments from non watch people, so nice conversation starter. Easy to dress up or down.

Not an owner but recently had the pleasure of trying them on. Definitely a modern icon.

The hardness of Rhodium is lower than that of the steel substrate. When you have desk diving marks or buttons that cause marks and scratches on steel watches, or drops or doorknob smashes that deform the material underneath, consider a softer material impermanently bonded to the substrate and how the coating will gradually be removed.
The contrast is not going to be as obvious as a black coating on a steel watch when it wears off and the steel underneath shows, but it still is just a coating. Even "diamond like" DLC has proven to rub off over time, imagine the protruding edges of a watch constantly being abraded. This Rhodium is much softer than DLC. Go naked steel if you're really going to wear the watch |

Appreciate this advice. I am going to ride it out until January and get the steel model. Although very tempted to even purchase pre owned titanium as a tide over. I feel as though this piece is on its way to being a classic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

See, when I saw that one it looked like a Men’s Express type vibe to me. As well, from reading other threads I am told the ceramic bracelets have drama with the clasp. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
