My silver/brown strap model arrived this morning. It's a very attractive watch, with a slightly brushed metallic silver face (difficult to see in photos), which contrasts with the shiny hands (so the time is easy to read). The moon phase window is clear and easy to read too. Setting the time, date and moon phase is very easy with the different crown positions. The crown is quite stiff to manually wind. The strap looks nice, but as others have stated, is extremely stiff out of the box and will take a while to soften. Overall, I'm very happy with the watch so far - it's very elegant with classic styling.
