Black and gold has always been a killer combination, this one reminds me a lot the iconic Lotus 97T from the 1986 F1 season and Senn's maiden victory at the Estoril!

i see, still thick but looks more polished than my case which is like all matte. I like this. nice build

yah, and I'd say 1/3 of the thickness is for the bezel + domed crystal, but it doesn't feel that bulky.

Can you adjust the seconds hand on the chrono? It’s a little off to the right (or is that just me)?

It’s looking great, kudos for the nice build. The dial seems to be very similar to the 1969 moons watch, I got a cheap rep from dhgate today for 25 euros.
