The case for it

A slim high-beat movement, compact Evolution 9 case and strong dial identity create a credible flagship alternative to Swiss steel watches.

What goes wrong

Zaratsu surface condition, bracelet links, service path, dial expectations and slower resale all need to be accepted before purchase.

Who it fits

Best for a collector who wants movement architecture and finishing to be the private reward.
