That's a more wearable size, looks really nice. Wonder if it is brushed? If so, then that's a winner. Really like the new bezel. |

Much more sensible size. Still not convinced by the bezel font though. |

The numbers are smaller, it's an actual 24 hour GMT bezel now, and the slashes between the numbers looks good. If it's brushed then that watch has a lot of potential. Not sure why they printed the 24 hours on the outer portion of the dial as well? |

Interesting that they duplicated the 24hr 2nd time zone onto the bezel that is already existing on the dial. As a medium sized dial I'm not sold on the look as much as it does its job as being an over powering look on a 47mm dial. |

Can't you technically have three time zones with the number on the bezel, dial and the regular hour hand? |

I must say I really like the looks of that watch. Still probably a bit big for me, but my first impression was, "Sh#t that is one damn good looking watch." Brushed bezel helps it a lot. Didn't see this one coming at all. |

I really like it. the only thing I don't like is that the GMT hand doesnt have lume. But that's a minor detail. Is the movement on this piece "in house"? |

Liking it a lot, if it's brushed I'll def take a look at it. |
