Is the brown band a bit less dressy or not? I think the black band would look fabulous as well so, which color would be the most practical?

brown band = casual / black band = formal, watch (square & round) works well in both settings

Interesting look...still not sued tot the square shape yet, although it does look better on the wrist....

I wonder if the company is planning on releasing other dial colors? I think a black dial could be a very sophisticated and interesting look. Any opinions?

Green and purple? That seems to be the trend..

Who knows. I really like a blue or black dial for a dress watch. So the blue dial will be fantastic of course as long as I can get comfortable with the shape.

Yes, but not for a day or so, am out 'on the town' with HVS tonight!!
Thanks. Does this involve watch shop browsing before hitting the bars? :)
Neither, just a great big steak :shock:

Thanks Rob. What's your opinion of the watch now that you've had it several days? I must say that the size and shape look really good when compared side by side with the FLE.

TBH, I haven't noticed any issues, perfect work watch, slips under a cuff and doesn't stand out.

I'm getting more interested in this model. I think the black band would be a great look also. Have you received any comments on the watch?

That's a great looking pair Rob. I have also ordered the blue with mesh bracelet.

psychologically it seems to wear smaller...
I have the square and the round in otherwise identical configurations
