Yeah, you can. It's hideous. The bezel is way too wide, and the dial is very hard to read - especially the date. I only saw the blue which is likely the worst from a screen clarity perspective, but I was a long way from impressed. I also don't get the lugs - not such an issue on the bracelet, but I won't be buying one. |

I agree Roff. If you compare it to a Motors or a 6.75 it actually looks a bit (dare I say) tacky to me.

Wow, noted, though I'll need to see one up close before I can agree. |

It looked kind of cool from the pictures I saw, but when i saw it, reminded me a bit of a Big Bentley meets Hercules sort of deal... didn't really have the class i expected from a Bentley series watch. |

Class is a great way to put it - it's not a refined piece. When you consider that it is (presumably) supposed to compete with watches like the Zenith Grande Class Multicity it's just no comparison in my opinion. |

I actually liked it's appearance - not enough to buy it though. Sure, it's not as classy as the others and if you expect that you'll be disappointed. However, I thought it was interestingly different. But, for that money...
