What do you all think of these? :?

I like that it has a Eta 2894-2 movement inside and I like the dial setup but man I just do not know if I like that case design. 50mm case in that shape might be interesting?

Maybe it is one of those watches you have to see and feel. But the angles I have seen it in pics juust don't know there. LOL :D

Yea I think I recall that. Guess they just did not stand out enough for me. I think if I go for another Chrono anytime soon it will likely be a Epos though. :)

I like the look of this better at 44mm and loaded with a Eta 7750! :cool:

Yea I just can't get into that case but do like the dial. But the Epos is on the list just a matter of time. So many watches and only 2 wrist. Oh my. LOL :D

If you actually look at the MW for about 3 to 4 minutes straight, it sort of grows on you. Dial treatment is uncommon. However, it overpowers the staid and reserved EPOS. Maybe at 44mm and 13mm, it would have evoked more interest. The EPOS looks too serious and too sober for me though. I also think making out the dials and thin hands on black would be a challenge for guys like me with ageing eyes.

Just my two-cents worth; the Michele will definitely be big, unique and will stand out in a crowd.  On the flip side the Epos is a classic looking chrono that will always be in style.  I guess it comes down to which statement you want from your watch that day "bold" or "classic".  Enjoy your watch buying decision!
