This is a good looking watch on the wrist. The rose gold case pairs nicely with the brown leather strap. This watch is loaded with design details. The multi-layered dial with the hour markers outlined in rose gold make the dial visually appealing. At the same time, I would say the dial is a little busy. The case size is right in the sweet spot for me ~45mm. The steel insert ring is quite interesting. It has sort of has a wood grain look but it is not that dominating and does not take away from the aesthetics for the watch. I like the design of the function pushers. There are so many good things going on with this watch.
If I could give two different ratings I would. But since I can't, I'll do it here. The watch itself is absolutely beautiful! I love the rose gold look with the Damascus insert. It really sets itself apart from other watches. Looks great on my wrist. So, I would give the watch itself a five star. The deployant buckle is a different story. At the most I would give it a three. It digs into my skin and is very uncomfortable. It would be nice if you could have made it with a removable deployment clasp and use just the buckle type instead. I think it would be more comfortable. Since I just received the watch, I'm still on the fence about keeping it and possibly having a different strap made or sending it back. I will decide soon.

Best watch in my collection. I really love this brand of watches. It fits so perfectly & looks so elegant rather I dress up or a casual day.
This was a Christmas present for my boyfriend who is in love with this watch. The quality of this watch is top tier. It has nice weight to it as well. Not to big or to small. The watch is just gorgeous.
