I have been eyeing it for quite a while, and I have to say that it was worth it. It is a beautiful watch, and I agree with others that it looks bigger than what you would expect from the 40 mm size. I love the sandblasted case, it is a unique touch that you don't see often, and nuances like this and the curved watch face make it an outstanding timepiece while staying true to the clean Bauhaus design. The only gripe that I had with it is that the movement of the rotor is surprisingly loud, but since this is my first automatic watch, it might be pretty standard, also it is not disturbing, just takes a little getting used to.
