I agree about the movement but not about the dial

I find it fine when I wore the watch. Moreover, reducing the width of the bezel wouldn't be a good idea since its width allows to enjoy the specific finishings of the new damascus steel. At the end, the watch keeps a rather large size with a diameter of 42,5mm which is not small.

I prefer the Midnight Sun or the Winter Nights because they are powered by a handwind movement and because I love the pattern of the bezel. So me too, I prefer the PPRO edition. But I think it is a matter of taste since the Isbla is a very nice watch.

A worthy option for someone looking for an entry point into G&S. A more manageable size for those without large wrists, and a I would imagine a reasonable price point. The dial is amazing to boot. Darren

Thanks Darren for your comments!

Even if I understand that from a "Purists" point of view, a Midnight Sun or a Winter Nights is a more seducing option, this one remains seducing! Fx
