Ok so now I get it, my SA arrived today and it is exceptional. I put it on for a while and found myself thinking,,, this is just the right size. I had purchased the Blue with battons and returned it. It looked out of propourtion, it just didn't do it for me. I had an oppurtunity to do a trade for this one and took a chance. It was BNIB, papers, the whole deal. I am suprised at how much I really like this watch. Go figure!

nice one friend

exactly the one i've got. its a chunky beast of a watch alright- problem is, its hard to wear anything else as most other timepieces seems insubstantial compared. i wear it pretty much 24/7 now and 4 months after buying it i'm still enamoured with it- i keep finding myself looking at it, polishing it and putting it against my ear to hear it beat.

Very sharp! Funny thing, if it was the white dial I think I would go with the batons. However, I am with you on the numerals for the blue and black. It is such a big watch, I guess the numerals fill out the dial a bit better or something.
Enjoy.
Cheers,
Carl

Thats a good looking watch.

Carl, your point is exactly how i feel about the numbers versus the batons. Love the baton on the white dial, numbers on the black and blue.

beautiful watch mah.

hope you are enjoying it! i was debating on getting a white dial SA with arabics a while back.

too big for my wrist.

I love the new black dial SA with batons but I think the Chrono Evo dos the job for me quite well.

enjoy!
