·Speak for yourself. [EDIT: Ignore me yourself!! 😵💫😗]
It’s a Gerald Genta designed watch, and watches in this case/bracelet combo have been either nominated or won categories at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève in all but one of the past 7 years.
That’s not to say there aren’t critiques, and an ass for every seat, etc., but only to say that yours is just one of two strong opinions available.
I think a watch design from the same guy who designed the Patek Nautilus and the AP Royal Oak, from a horology house that has broken a world record in thinness every year since 2014, has the makings for a *possibly* good watch

·No it’s not. The overall watch thickness is a record. The movement thickness is not.
It’s both the thinnest chrono watch, and thinnest chrono movement.
Piguet 1180 movement is 3.95mm, and a manual.
The OF’s BVL 318 movement is 3.3mm thin, and an automatic.
It’s one of 7 world records for thinness in the past 7 years, for either watch, movement, or both as follows:
2014 - TOURBILLON (THINNEST TOURBILLON MOVEMENT AND THINNEST TOURBILLON WATCH)
2016 - MINUTE REPEATER (THINNEST MINUTE REPEATER WATCH)
2017 - AUTOMATIC (THINNEST AUTOMATIC WATCH)
2018 - TOURBILLON AUTOMATIC (THINNEST AUTOMATIC WATCH, THINNEST TOURBILLON WATCH)
2019 - CHRONOGRAPH GMT (THINNEST CHRONOGRAPH MOVEMENT AND THINNEST CHRONO WATCH)
2020 - TOURBILLON CHRONOGRAPH SKELETON AUTOMATIC (THINNEST TOURBILLON CHRONOGRAPH WATCH - ADDED TO ITS THINNEST CHRONOGRAPH MOVEMENT)
2021 - PERPETUAL CALENDAR (THINNEST QP WATCH AND MOVEMENT)
They maintain all these records. (Piaget momentarily retook the 2017 record for thinnest automatic, until Bvulgari retook the title 3 months later with the thinnest automatic and adding the tourbillon in 2018.)

·I think the OF is a fine watch, not so much the Apollo 17😀
And I’m with you there! Embarrassing miss-read that I’m going to blame on my toddlers somehow. 😁

··Oooo subtitles!Yep ok that’s pretty thin. And an auto too. It’s confusing since I was seeing figures of 4.6mm elsewhere but maybe that was for the Piaget one.

·When I created this thread 2 weeks ago, there is no way I could have known that Omega would do what they did 1.5 weeks after … which only enhances the spirit in which it was created

In the interim, continuing to enjoy my speedy 60th a lot.

·For the love of god, Omega, whatever you do, please never put diamonds on the dial or bezel.
