The dealer was a WIS-type and knew the forums but questioned why I didn't like it. He thanked me for my service because I was wearing my Gen2 X-33. I looked at him and said, "Not sure how you got to that conclusion but sure." He assumed I was a Pilot. Told him he got the assumption correct in me being a vet, but it had nothing to do with the watch.
I told him I've never realized with other watches that my wrist bone was there (or existed) but this one rolls on it. I reckon it would be fine on bracelet but not for me. I told him that knowing there's a beautiful movement under the hood is enough for a lot of buyers. Eliminate it and it would be perfect.... Better yet, make a manual wind 8 day 9300 chrono.
Sorry, no pics.
If you have a flat mortadella wrist this is your watch. It was superb.
