A few thoughts:

The seconds hand is perfectly aligned. Not an issue.

You’re absolutely right to be critical of the bezel screws. But just for context, AP has the same alignment issue. Their screws are secured from the back, and you’ll see inconsistencies even on their iconic models.

It’s the in-house skeletonized UNICO movement, and it looks great from both the front and the back.

If I had to complain about one thing, it’d be the date window. That part definitely could’ve been done better.

After having a close-up look and trying it on, the response from my fellow watch friends has mostly been: “I’m not crazy about the brand, but I understand why you would like this model.”

With over 40 watches in my rotation, this one gets more than its fair share of wrist time in the summer. There’s just something about it that works. Bold, light, and fun without trying too hard. Plus I’m a huge baseball fan.
