What a SPECIAL watch, and Christmas present here Strutn !!!
It's really STUNNING !
Kudos to SoberDave on helping you decide to get this one by the way also.
NICE job !
Have to first say that you really were right when you pointed out how clean the dial is
on this watch. Also the fit, and finish honestly looks like it couldn't be ANY better, and
that's just from seeing your pictures here. Wow !!! ..Staying with the dial for a bit, it's
something to see the color of it. Almost looks as though it is a shade of white, but you
can see that metallic silver effect happening as well. AWESOME ! ..What's especially
nice about it, is how it works with the rest of the watch. The entire watch, along with
all of it's parts with this Ebel works GREAT as a team !
The dial is AMAZING by itself,
but when you see how all of the other parts of the dial react with it, that's when it all
starts coming together SO well imho. Those gray sub-dials are an example. Not only does
that color look cool, but it's neat how they rise up like small mountains off of the dial. Also
like the white textured areas at the center of them, along with the hands Strutn ! ..Speaking
of hands, these hands work perfectly with the look of this watch as well. They have a VERY
refined look, but with that added extra edge added in there too. I think that continues onto
the markers, along with how they seem to be cut into these sharp pieces of steel. It's really
a cool look, along with effect imho. ..The chapter ring on this beauty helps finish the dial off
with class, and even manages to add some noticeable extra depth to the dial, which is just
EXCELLENT. ..Moving to the bezel, have to say, that that aluminum is neat first of all, but
so is the style of the markings, along with numbers. Also think that the screws helps draw
your eye to all of the uniquely cool things going on with the case.
I mean this case is
not one you will see on other watches, which is always a plus imho. Just the streamlined
look, along with what looks like a super smooth surface is impressive in it's own right. Especially
liking the side view of it, where you can genuinely see the aerodynamic look of everything.
..TREMENDOUS stuff once again !!! ..Looks like Ebel even manages to make their crown, along
with pushers stand out with extra aggressive size, and eye-catching decoration, like with the
emblem on the main crown there. That is one of those nice finishing touches that always
tells you, that this is something special on your wrist. Something to REALLY enjoy, and
something to have FUN staring at every once in a while. ..Honestly, you can look around
at the different parts of this watch, and not find one part that doesn't work as part of the
team, that is this Ebel. Even the bracelet seems to have these uniquely shaped links, that
literally seem to reflect the case-shape, and LOOK of this watch.
..Guess it goes back
to that fit, and finish you spoke of before Stutn. Ebel went all out to make this watch
stand out from the competetion. ..DEFINITELY seems like they accomplished that goal,
because this watch ROCKS on EVERY level !
..Congratulations sir !!! ..Hope you ENJOY !
Excellent Ebel, Excellent pics !!!
