I like it. I'm casually trying to hunt down a good sample. Not aggressively looking, but if a good one comes up, I'll likely get it.

I have one. I was initially disappointed in that the color isn't as blue as in photos. I even thought it was silver and maybe the seller sent me the wrong watch. The seller told me the shade/color changes depending on lighting. Outdoors it looks more blue. Slight disappointment initially but really love the watch. Now I just have to buy a newer DD and possibly a Platona for the different shade of blue than found on the 118206. But I love the weight of the watch and don't feel self conscious wearing it. Looks like a SS watch but feels special. ~ same weight as a DSSD JC to my surprise (yes I weighed it on my food scale in grams)

I have owned three... loved them and the traded them and regret it each time. It’s a great watch. Best non YG DD IMHO.
