Anyone into this watch? I rather like the look and thinking about pulling the trigger. Cool retro vibe and unique case shape. Limited to 500 (photo cred HODINKEE).

At this price point, if you dig it, buy it. Yes, I lingered over this as well. HODINKEE haters may chime in. It’s your cash not theirs. Solid movement.

The case reminds me of Citizen Series 8.

The case is a rearranged replica of a very typical case design of the 1930s; with an octogonal twist added on the bezel.
here’s a gold Longines of that era (mine), the case design was quite widespread across brands, but mine is unusual because I’ve only seen a couple in gold having survived with that shape.

I really like it and I've seen the last few Merci watches come through. I've held off on buying one as I can only buy SO many. They do tend to show up on ebay at lower pricing, so if you don't get along with it, drop me a line. 😁

Are those lumibright blocks? Do they glow? If so, I might have to buy that! That's great

Feels pretty solid. Watch is well made. Movement is ok (about +30s/day), but I think that’s in spec for this movement
