Tried this on recently too. I think it’s criminally underrated.
Looked fantastic on the wrist, I agree with the rubber band, feels premium, very comfortable on the wrist, typically superb movement.
I love the dial design and layout. Some people hate the date; I think it’s perfectly integrated and I think it’s probably one of the best options for a one watch for life.
Tried this one while picking up a piece recently and it's really quite striking in the metal. Very legible and the small seconds works well given the complexity of the dal. Nice catch!
If you buy it, get it on the bracelet. Better for the long term.
The blue version is sold on rubber strap ONLY, which is very strange, but that's the way it is. That is why I bought the bracelet after. Normally I do the opposite way.
But in case of Aqua Terra pricewise it does not matter - one way or another the cost is very comparable.
