Quick update on the watch: it is running well within COSC specs for the moment, which is something expected but appreciated.

It wears VERY comfortable, I was able to adjust the bracelet to fit my wrist exactly how I want - first time on one without micro adjustment in the clasp. Could not get it like that in the mid-size one. Need to acknowledge that this is just good luck, as if my wrist was a bit smaller/larger, situation would not have been the same.

Although the watch measures closer to 42-43 mm than to the listed 41mm and looks big, it wears smaller, probably due to its relatively low height. So, it slides easily even under a dress shirt.

Besides the perfect fit, the bracelet (and everything in the watch) is very well made.

Lume is outstanding, at the level of the Orange Monster I had to flip because of "wifey" issues with the color, not as bright for the first 30 seconds, but lasts longer. The kind of lume I was expecting in the Dievas Vortex but did not get.

One of the things that caught my attention on this watch, as well as in the mid-size Omega, is how perfect the hands look. There is no spot, dust flaw or asymmetry, even under magnification. Same for the dial.

Dial color is fantastic. Objectivity might not be guaranteed on this, as my car has a very similar color

After wearing it for two days, I will... wear it tomorrow. I have not worn a watch for 3 days in a row for quite some time now, so I guess this shows something.


The main problem I have now is that I am starting to think about a moon Speedy ...
