    It's a 'NO" from me.

    Dial and strap arrangement not to my liking TBH.

    Who manufactures for them now ? Looks very TAG Heur so wonder if they are using them now ?

    I like the dial a lot and dislike the strap arrangement a lot.

    Looks as though it’ll be a right pain when the strap wears out.

    If it didn't have the wonky date upsetting the balance of the dial or that weird whatever it is at 9'o'clock it would look ok.

    Wasn't there a whole PR thing around them setting up their own manufacturing when this new range came out?

    Like the dial, don't like the strap. Won't be buying.

    As far as contemporary designs go, this is actually quite nice. I for one love the lugs and the strap attaches to them, and everything else works for me as well. I have a problem with the excessive "smoothness" of contemporary watch design in general, however.

    in house now.

    I like it, but this isn't a new model right, its been out a while I think.

    I like the new range design generally, the non chrono versions though. too expensive for what you get though

    I like most of the past Porsche Design watches, and I think this one is quite nice.
    From the photo the movement looks remarkably like a tarted up Valjoux 7750. I wonder how much "in house" it actually is...
