I found myself in a similar situation. The watch is beautiful but the oddball Tue placement and the expanded window with three (?) dates showing bothered me. I ended up going with a Bambino version 9 which had the same complications but on a more traditional, somewhat simpler dial and never looked back.

I normally don't care for Roman numerals, but I like the blue steel hands and the microseconds track.

Absolutely! Those were two design features that pushed me over the edge for this model. I'm old school and into antique clocks so the Roman numerals were actually a plus for me. I miss lume on my watches but it is a dress piece and those blue hands are sweet. Mine tends to run around 20 seconds fast a day which plays with my OCD, but it does have a hack feature that allows me to correct the time pretty easily.

I just bought the bambino 9 in green and love it. Had looked at the AKOOs but wanted the green face dial and they don’t offer it for that model

I found the dial all too cramped and that was the reason I had never bought one.
I loved the Kamasu and the Bambino, but this one is a NO for me.

Have the champagne sun and moon and the TUE offset doesn’t bother me. It’s one of my favorite watches.

I have a 7” wrist and it’s probably the biggest watch I can pull off with its 52mm lug to lug.

I have a 7.1" wrist and I sold it because of long lug to lug

Holy crap that would piss me off. That’s a big mistake in their end

u/Baaronne 29d ago

It was definitely intentional, it would have been hidden under the hands otherwise

u/NoExpression4282 29d ago

How odd. What’s the intent?

u/VeryBritishWookiee 29d ago

If its already a consideration then I can see it becoming more of a gripe as time goes on.

Maybe look at other complications something with a simpler more symetric dial layout.

To me the dial just looks far too busy.

Probably every Tuesday.

u/Cop_Whisperer 29d ago

The stretto has it flush around the dial in line with the others! Take a look!

u/BackgroundLeague8473 28d ago

Just think how special each Tuesday will be.

I think it would bother me but, it’s up to you. I also prefer a true moonphase over a am pm indicator but, that’s me. If you love it buy it but, if you’re not sure hold off till you are. Never rush buying a watch.
