For those on the fence - don't be. This watch is worth every penny. I own two of these - a ver. 1 (gold case, hands and indexes with cream dial) and a ver. 3 (silver case, hands and indexes with blue dial). Both are excellent time keepers but I prefer the ver. 3 because its movement is hand-winding and hacking (the ver. 1 movement is not).

A much better dress watch massdrop should get is Nomos, Frederique Constant, or Mido to name a few. And those are still affordable by most and much better dress watches.
