Gentleman Powermatic 80 Silicium Green Dial

I should start by mentioning that I am somewhat new to the world of watches and this was my first swiss timepiece. I have many cheaper watches which I do love, but this was certainly a step up for me. I went with the green dial to step outside my comfort zone, and I'm glad I did. Aesthetically, this watch is is an absolute homerun in my opinion. The green sunburst dial plays with the light beautifully and the shade of green lives on a spectrum depending on lighting. The applied indices join the dial in this dance of color, as the polished bevels glimmer while the contrasting flat brushed faces provide a wonderful balance of reflection. This balance is carried on with the design on the case. The bezel is heavily polished while the faces of the case are executed with a brushed finish. The beveling on the case is also polished, which really gives some continuity to this design and brings the watch to life. The layout of the dial is both functional and nice to look at. The framed date window looks amazing and really gives off a feel of quality design as well as serious craftsmanship. The lumed sword hands are beautifully polished and fit in nicely with the overall design. The crosshair pattern, along with the angular nature of the indices really pull your eyes into the center of the dial. The lume is very legible and quite bright, but I've found it wont last as long as the lume on some of my sekios. But that's not a big issue to me. The open case back is nothing mind boggling, but it is executed quite well with a suitably decorated movement that looks possibly a bit more expensive than what you pay. The bracelet is quite nice, carrying on that contrast of polished and brushed links, but I quickly ditched it in favor of a nato. It looks quite dressy on the bracelet, and that doesnt generally fit my everyday style. The bracelet isnt very comfortable to me, but it isnt all that bad if you want to go for that look. The 21mm lugs are annoying, but a 20mm nato does the trick just fine and a supple 22mm leather strap will also likely fit. I have around a 6.25 inch wrist, and the dimensions of this piece work quite well for me. I find some watches above 40mm just dont work on my wrist depending on the lug to lug, but I find the dimensions of this watch to work just about right on my smaller wrists. In fact, since I've recieved this watch ive had it on my wrist from dusk till dawn nearly everyday. This is a perfect everyday watch in my opinion. It isnt super sporty, it isnt super fancy, but it lives in a sweet spot in between. As far as function, I'm really a fan of this movement. Its surprisingly accurate and smooth. The anti-magnetic properties are very lucrative in our technological world and the 80 hour power reserve is more than welcome. In my estimation, the level of attention to detail applied to this piece, paired with the quality of the powermatic 80 movement, makes this watch a serious bargain. I've been wearing it everyday for a couple weeks and I struggle to find complaints that are not neutralized by the favorable price point. Overall, I couldn't recommend this piece more. The value proposition here is extremely competitive. I've been on and off with my passion for watches over the last year, but this watch has revitalized my appreciation for time pieces. The customer service and the buying experience with Teddy were absolutely top notch! I have alot of respect for Teddy's business and I'm happy to support it. This was my first purchase from Teddy's site, but it surely won't be my last.
