My wife got me this for Valentine's Day 2024. Great looking watch and my third Marine Star. My previous Marine Star is still running great and looking great. I get compliments all the time. I only have two issue with this model. One, why is the Roman Number for 4 wrong? It's supposed to be IV, not IIII. Is it to be "unique" or does the watch designer really not know Roman Numerals? Second is the deployment clasp. I've had it two days and it's almost hit the floor twice because the clasp comes undone easily during normal wear. I prefer the other clasp that folds once and has a safety clip on it.
I BOUGHT THIS WATCH About six weeks ago. And it runs and looks great!
All good except for the IIII instead of IV, makes no sense to me but whatever, still a great timepiece
King Louis V forbade watch makers from putting "IV" on watches because it had a negative reference of Subtracting one from 5 ( V), his title. So, most watch makers put IIII in stead of IV and still do. Tradition I guess.
