Far and wide I will find 'em and I ride 'em
Bricks and mortar get my licks just for kicks

Retail, wholesale never fail
Online or offline, I find I don't redefine
Too big to fail or yard sale they all hale
Run or hide just for fun deals I find

I like the movement. I might be in the minority here but I think shrinking it to 38mm may make it sweeter given the style. I am conflicted really...

Never been a fan of California dials, but I do like the rose gold bezel finishing. Also dig they give option to mix and match dial and bezel.

Not a big fan of California dials either. I thought about expanding my horizon but restricting it in the watch world saves me money. :)

Really like the design of this, but seconded on the 38mm considering how thin this is. The texture and styling of the gold bezel looks great, but the gold bezel/cream dial variant seems off to me somehow. The printing on the cream should be black instead imo.
