any pitfalls to avoid?
all input appreciated.
Thank you

Quoted message:
Hi Andre
I would offer a 'pro', which is the price of these are amazingly low for such a complication. As for a 'con', perhaps just consider the thickness, which is substantial, and the tiny subdials, which might be hard to read.
But they are amazing and a great value. I also love the whole GST line because of the sportiness factor- they are perfect weekend/casual wear watches, IMO.
Post a picture of which model you choose!

You need big wrists: the lugs stick out, I found out many years ago while trying the titanium version.
Kind regards,
