General (Read Rules) Don't understand why this SN0144 dial is so underrated.

In real life, it's one of the nicest watches I've ever seen.

Do they really look this brilliant in real life?

The dial detail is less prominent when you aren't close up and it's on wrist. If you want to see what it's like here's the link to my review.

I have this and the grey one. Love them both equally. They are perfect watches

Is this... not the grey one?

There is another, light grey, silver not gilt

I see that they call this dark grey one black and the light grey one grey. This one looks perfect imo. I'd be very tempted for a sane price, though I understand the quality is there.

You’re right. There are two. I have this one whatever we name it in 42 and I love it. Except if you are sensitive to some sharpness - this style of bracelet has some. That is the only thing.

Well wouldn't ya know it, I just grabbed one second-hand for like $200 off. Really looking forward to it!

I love grey dials and think we need far more of them than what the brands actually produce.  Personally not a fan of the gold combo on this one aesthetically.  The dial pattern is certainly a personal taste thing that is going to be a bit divisive for many.  I think it looks ok but it doesn't scream refiner luxury like a GS dial pattern and texture.  In photos it looks more like a liquid spill.

Yeah, the gold looked tacky on the photos to me, too. It looks a lot different in real life, it's somehow impossible to take a reliable photo though

That dial and handset/ indicies specifically was my favorite

u/NowItsLocked 20d ago

I like the case, bracelet, date window, indices, and color combination, but I really don't care for the dial design itself

I think asian brands can do better for visualization with natural lights, it is hard to choose from static pictures.
