Very smooth. Similar to the 330 in the Sealander GMT, and smoother than the 200 series.

@welshlad Crown screw-down is also very easy, like the C63 GMT. No mucking around with back pressure to engage the thread.

Literally! It’s pretty shiny. And as you say, eclectic: as you know, I try to avoid repetition in the watch box.
Wow! Lovely watch but I never saw one going in your collection, you flexible old thing you! I’m quite surprised…you’re getting younger!

Well done! A very nice, different style watch to compliment your collection. I had noticed when you ordered the Twelve & was waiting to read your reaction upon delivery. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts & pictures. Personally, I think the dial is striking & probably even more so in a natural lighting environment. As you wear the watch, I wouldn’t mind hearing your thoughts on the comfort level of the bracelet. My understanding is there isn’t as much adjustment with this type of bracelet but it sure matches the elegance of the case. Steve, I am very happy for you!

@Amor Vincit Omnia
Steve - could you possibly do us a wrist shot at slight distance in a mirror?? With close up shots I’m not sure I’m getting a real sense of what the dial looks like, because the texture becomes very magnified and prominent. Thanks if you can :thumbup:
