I think that’s the SL chrono he mentioned

Will take the measurements later and update you guys.
I'd hope they release more dial variants, but not too much.

I would think they might just release 1-2 more color variants next year. Any more that that would just kill the uniqueness of the streamliner.

guys, I have to admit, I have been thinking about the watch ever since I tried it on yesterday.

I am fully lusting over the bracelet, it's really one of the best enginereed bracelet in this modern era. Photos don't do it justice, it's really the feel of it. You have to feel it in the flesh to really enjoy it.

I think what makes the bracelet so special at the same time, is it's design. It looks so alien and yet vintage.(If you get what I mean)

If they added a date function to it, I can forsee it being the ultimate luxury sports watch of this era. Something non-gerald genta, but hype-worthy.

For one, what's slightly holding me back is the price. I'd think if they price the watch probably 2-3 grand lower, it would be a hit to me.
But hey, who knows, with the limited production they are doing per year, and the potential demand it might have, might be a over retail premium kinda piece.

Haven't had a chance to try it on, but I am absolutely digging the bracelet design as well. Alien hits the nail on the head, as if hailing from another galaxy.

Less sure about the case which looks quite soft and feminine in terms of design. I'll also wait for a different dial color and would prefer a date function too.

Hi Rotiprata

Did you try it at Cortina? I tried it just now. Feel of the watch is really quite good. Just that green dial is new to me and I need more time to digest the thickness of the watch. It seems a bit thick for a simple time only watch.

Interesting... If they took that many deposits how come they still have one for sale? Or is it display only?

Hi KCT,

yea i did! Yea the feel is fantastic. And i do agree with you, the green dial is new to me as well. But definitely to anyone who want's a green dial watch, I'd rather get this piece than a Sub Hulk. The thickness still feels pretty alright to me as it's definitely feels thinner than my 114060 sub. I think the sub bezel and elevated caseback makes it a thick watch, when I wore the moser, everything just felt right.

Having that said, I think moser is heading in the right direction, their first integrated bracelet watch is so well engineered, I just can't wait for future iterations of it. Tourbillion, maybe an ultra slim.

The only thing stopping me is the concern for longevity of the brand. Plus the 22k

I have mine in hand and it absolutely exceeds expectations. The watch is simply incredible. As a cohesive piece of design and engineering it just works. Can't wait to see how they take this platform and continue to evolve it in the future.

Still need bracelet adjusted. Wrist 6.5”. Will fit great. First impressions are good, and it’s growing on me. It actually looks very cool in low light, the dial gets very dark and the indices shine, hard to capture a photo.

Some more shots during work downtime. Quick cell phone shots. Apologies to Moser team if you are watching since these don’t do justice to the watch!

I wasn’t immediately sold when pics were released, but decided to pull the trigger after trying on the chrono. With a thinner case I think the center seconds is going to be perfect
