Stolas Harbormaster Gennaker Watch Giveaway

In fact I didn't know it was an automatic until I read the small print. There isn't a rotor to be seen. No, instead De GRISOGONO hides the automatic rotor (somewhere). How's that for stealth winding for ya?I figure most people will keep the window over the subsidiary seconds dial when wearing the watch casually. The dial itself is textured and features nicely proportioned (but stubby) dauphine style hands that are in gold to match the case. As you can tell, the dial is available in a few colors as well including silver, ruthenium, black, and brown. Each of these colors is available with the rose of white gold case.Wearing this watch with the massive pushers and crown must be interesting. For some it will be fine, for others it will likely dig into their wrist. Though interestingly enough the watch is symmetrical and not lop-sided given the positioning of the strap. I do overall really like this piece and find the over-engineered mechanism amusingly delightful as well as sardonically out of my price range, which is again between about $85,000 - $87,000 (69,100 - 71,100 Swiss Francs). Enjoy it for what it does my friends.
