I ordered the watch the first time it was offered by MD. Then the drop was cancelled due to issues with delivery. I was really disappointed. When the watch came back on MD, I ordered it again and no problem this time. Delivery was quite fast. But if you live in Canada like me, you have to pay ridiculously high duty fees. 48$ (CAN) in my case. That's a lot of extra money. As the for the watch itself, I really like it. I don't mind the red stiching on the strap, but I'll probably change it enventually. This is my first moonphase and the instructions for setting the time and the moonphase are pretty straightforward and well explained. The month and day subdials are easy to read, but the numbers on the day subdial are really, really small. But that's the price to get a reasonably sized watch, I guess! Also, the pictures on MD didn't show it well, but the watch face has a guilloché pattern which gives it a classy look (see pics).

All and all, excluding the duty fees, I'm quite happy with this purchase.

FrancoisCartierThe duty is very strange since the website offers free shipping on Canada & the US.

SkeletoramaI think that "shipping" per se doesn't include duty fees. And yes, our lovely government takes more than its fair share in duty fees.

FrancoisCartierSome of the hour markers, like at midnight and five oclock, seem pretty far off.

delnerdoI think it is. I remember seeing somewhere it was based near Montreal, Quebec. But I can't find the reference anymore.

BruceReI'm also a stickler for precise markers, which is why I'd almost prefer they don't do them if they can't do them right.
In this case, it looks like it just might be the perspective/shadows that's making it look like they aren't properly centred.
Perhaps the OP (@FrancoisCartier) can weigh in?
