 The face is anodized.  A very nice touch.  The grain structure in the base metal is clearly visible and adds some texture to the face.   The bezel is quite tight, and moves with a less mechanical click than some watches.  My Omega has a similar click...

One subtlety is the TINY window for the date.  Its JUST right.   Easy to see, but doesn't detract from the aesthetic. 

This is truly a winning package.  The box smells like the inside of a new BMW (leather, leather, leather) and is really nicely detailed.  The color matched stitching is a nice touch.

The leather straps are enormous and beefy.  The link bracelet is also quite significant and adds more weight than I probably want.  Definitely a theme for this watch. 

I gotta save some pennies for another.  I like these guys!
