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.

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.
