I am more impressed than I thought I'd be about the Dan Henry 1963.
Some quick notes/observations:
What a beautifully done sandwich dial..

...and some real functionality here, too, with the split seconds sub-dial on the right. It also looks pretty cool to see that little hand rapidly spinning when the chronograph feature is activated.
The strap is of excellent quality, and the soft vintage leather goes really well with the watch, and is quite comfortable on wrist.
I was worried that this watch might feel/appear too large, but on the contrary. The silver bezel option I chose because I thought it would minimize its apparent size, and I think this is true. The watch is thin enough and the strap is soft enough that the feel on the wrist is more akin to a smaller watch; actually, not unlike wearing a Speedmaster!
On the negative side is the lack of a fully mechanical movement, and the 12-click bezel feels odd. The central chrono-seconds hand resets just shy (1/25 sec.) of 12, not blatantly obvious.
At $230 though, this is quite a watch... which only makes me wish even more that this beauty come with a mechanical movement!
