After wearing a Rolex Submariner for years, I was looking for a less pretentious, lighter, and more legible watch.This one fits the bill perfectly. There's no misreading this one, as the hands are broad and simple, and the second hand is completely different from the other two. I can read this watch at a glance, which is important for my aging eyes.The clean design is also very pleasing. It is a totally "form follows function" watch.I did bring a modification, ordering and installing a black metal expandable wristband (18mm wide) to replace the leather strap that the watch comes with.In the summer heat, I find a leather strap unpleasant. The black metal wristband looks pretty similar to the original black strap and in no way detracts from the clean design.Only one (small) regret, the second hand doesn't do the 2-second jump at the end of the minute that the railway clocks are noted for.I'm very pleased with this watch, and recommend it highly to anyone who wants a highly legible but handsome wristwatch.
