    Just picked this watch up with the silver dial... so much better in the hand - try and see one of these in an A.D., I haven’t yet seen the video that does it justice… The texture on the silver dial is beautiful and as for that quirky 3 - well it it seems to be getting lots of moans in the comments but personally I absolutely adore it! I don’t notice any problem with having it next to the date window, maybe because on the white dial it doesn’t stick out so much (but it doesn’t look like a problem to me on this black dial either), For me - I really like having a date, I check the date on my watch at least once every day.. in short this watch exceeded expectations - beautiful build quality and the three (Black/blue or silver) all look great to me

    Thank you for this review. I bought my one a few weeks ago after spending a month researching luxury watches. This is my first higher-end brand buy and I finally came back to this watch (the discount offer from the London retailer I first saw it on sealed the deal!).
    My only problem with it is the cut off 3, which does make it look a bit weird. Sure, having the date is great, but I agree with you - I could definitely do with a full 3 numeral without the date!

    Mostly loving my 40mm black on bracelet. Loving, 'cos the watch is beautiful, great legibility, superbly finished (no dust on mine and easily the match of a '00s Omega), great movement (+1.5sec), amazing (as in Seiko levels) lume. Awesome GADA watch. But... L2L is long (50mm on the 40) and with those male end links, it looks bigger. But that's fit - try before you buy. Worse is that the outer AR coating will scratch. Which kinda defeats the point of a sapphire crystal. That bugs me. Would love a 38mm no date, no AR...

    Really like your channel and reviews! Especially the approach with accuracy/precision evaluation for real mechanical watch models with timegrapher - this is really important and most curious thing, but it is also a really rare thing in reviews! Thank you!
    Can you please review the Longines Spirit Chronograph (COSC certified as well) from this Spirit series from Longines? And also there will be really interesting to see reviews with Omega SeaMaster Planet Ocean Chronograph and SpeedMaster Chronograph, to compare them to already reviewed Rolex Submariner, and with tests on timegrapher as usual!

    I'd probably go for the 40mm, think I prefer the date window arrangement. I have a 7" wrist so think I could pull it off. The non prestige version comes with a butterfly bracelet, apparently very nice quality but without the clasp and micro adjustment. The build quality of these seems off the scale, comparable to a watch costing double. I need to get out and see these in the flesh.

      Normal and Prestige are available as 40mm and the 42mm versions. Prestige edition's come with 3 straps instead of 1!
