Far and wide I will find 'em and I ride 'em
Bricks and mortar get my licks just for kicks
AD or authorized I don't analyze
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

Not bad overall, especially for the price. The height of the indices is neat. I wish the date wheel was color matched, though. It sticks out, especially on the light blue dial.

Also, it's nit-picky, but between the logo, "automatic," and the depth rating you have three fonts that don't really match stylistically IMO.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

I know, what is that font, Comic Sans?

I really like what they've done otherwise.
Just my $0.02 USD as always.

I expect production dials have yet to be made yet.
So if they get feedback now to make changes, it might make a difference.
