This watch seems to be getting a lot of attention. It’s just slightly thicker than the original Finissimo as this is a screw down crown and not water resistant to 10 meters. So it actually fulfills the role of a stainless steel sports watch even more. I could swim with it.
The contrast of the satin brushed and polished parts is nice especially the bracelet. I have left most of the tape on it but peeled away some so you can get an unobstructed view of the links.
Thanks for any input. I appreciate you.

(It was also released with a sunray blue dial and I’ve not seen that but I own a few blue dial steel watches already.)

Very lovely piece, a “sports watch” where the 15202 could never be. Like you said, screw down crown and 100M water resistance. Thinner than the 15202 also, why not? Ted

The odd placement of secs subdial compared to the prev iteration is also what concerns me but not a dealbreaker. They keep pushing the envelope.

Most concerning to me however is that your wife disappeared after the first wristshot...you might be lacking the most important approval! ;-))

Is there that much difference in thickness between the two? I read that it is very minimal and for the water resistance the watch is more useful for me. The stainless steel does make it heavier than the others however. I don’t mind the weight. The bracelet is stunning with the alternating brushed finish with polished center links. Very striking.

This is a wristshot taken in Napoli of the T version which I immediately liked (I believe it was last summer), but I haven't seen yours in the metal and as you say it definitely wouldn't seem *much* thicker. Enjoy ;-)

It looks like the older titanium version has a case 5.15mm high. The new steel one is 6.40mm. Still very thin.
