Case design yes, bezel decent, dial nope 

There you go, an opinion you didn't ask for 

 

Not a fan of omega seamaster rip off dial of last one either. But again, the rest looks ok. Beads of rice bracelet would suit a more vintage inspired dial.

 

But if we all liked the same thing life would be shit

I have a history of liking overdone dials. This one actually doubled in value. A rarity within the microbrand world.

I like the revelot dial. Makes it unique. Without it the watch is just another seiko me too.

Just waiting for my latest Microbrand to be delivered - just had my shipping notification so the clock is ticking - will post some real life shots when it arrives

Seem to be looking at Micro brands and gens more than reps these days, which ironically is how I got into reps in the first place - the circle of time!!

Really? I think it's one microbrand with a unique design, what other cases look like that?

You really think the case looks PAM-like? I don't see it, it's all hard edges that you never find on a PAM.

If it were a Zelos it would be applauded as another breakthrough design and retail for $399 and sellout in under 24 hours. Every Aragon design prior to this one was close but not quite for me……until this one. Love everything about it and $151 sale price makes it a no-brainer . 

I guess one could argue every aspect of every watch and point out where similarities exist right down to the gnats-ass.

They need to make a watch that is not thick as a brick. They finally make a 42MM with a tourbillion  and it 18MM thick. I mean come on.

I actually bought three color ways. Ultimately likely keep only two. Just want to see them in person and the price was right.

What did you end up thinking of these?

The specs are mind-blowing tbh.
