·Joining the club finally. I really enjoy wearing this : it's comfy, dressy but still easy to wear... and just such a nice watch.

·So I know @Spruce and @kaplan have these, and when mine turned up a while back I loved the slightly larger size and the 'sweeping' of the electronic movement. Found another from a Japanese seller, and again bravely pulled the trigger; awaiting landing in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Then I got to comparing. Bugger me if there aren't subtle differences: lug shape, Swiss Made, hand options (similar to the standard c-case Jet-Line thin vs standard), coarser vertical brushing. Bracelet attachment is more 'Cosmic' style on the new one. The printing on the first one is also a very slight burgundy if you look under a loupe. So now I'm even more fascinated!

·The one on the right seems to be a redial the "Swiss Made" is missing.

·Pretty low chance it’s a redial, maybe they didn’t put it if it’s half Japan

·R rorymoerLove the linen dial and the yellow gold bezel gives just a little warmth to it
I don't think you actually have a yellow gold bezel. I bought one just like yours a while back and the white gold had tarnished over time and seemed yellow. If you get a gold polishing cloth, it should come right off.

·I know the watch is original, but the light kinda makes it look like the case was polished, especially on the bottom left corner

I was going by "A Journey Through Time". When I look for them online, I also search fumé, graduated, ombré, vignette... and anything else to unearth them!

·Love it! Is the dial grey/darker grey or the same as mine? Hard to tell from that picture
