Heh, well, I'm not WatchTime, and I try not to put too much stock in magazine opinions.

I just like to sit in meetings and gaze at the movement ticking away. It speeds up something that could otherwise be very dreary.

I can't afford a nice JLC or BP or Breguet what-have-you with a built-in display back, so I was trying to go two-fer, but it's probably a good point that the WR would be negatively affected. I doubt Omega HQ would be too happy, either.

Oh, well.

: watches, and neither is WatchTime magaizine.
