My Xeric Regulator arrived today; first Xeric ever. The watch is outstanding; elegant, understated compared to some of the chronographs I have, and sits perfectly on my wrist (which is something I can't say about most of the others I own). The strap is nice; high-quality leather that complements the silver case well. The lugs have a great curve to them, which is an odd detail to think about, but it's true. I should revise the statement above where I said "first Xeric". What it should have said was "first of many". I'm not going to bother comparing it to others in this price range; instead, I'm going to say that it's eminently worth the money. The customer service was fantastic (thanks, Alyssa!) and the delivery through DHL was impeccable. The entire watch-buying experience is exceptional, start to finish. Enough fanboy. 12/10.
