Not a great looking watch imo, but i wouldn't say no.

I like it. Then again I love the white on black dial layout. Very military looking too. Reminds me of the 60's Heuer chrono on my wish list post. Has a Sinn watch vibe to it. Main hands are very like an aircraft dial hands. Nice spec too. Thumbs up from me. The rarity is another bonus(I'm such a ponce:D).

sinn vibe alright but damasko case hardening is far superior to sinns tegmenting which is nice
