There is A LOT there to like. I think a solid case back with a nice design would have been a better choice. Miyota 9x is not the best looking movement to show off.

I like the indices and bracelet design. I agree with MoT about the case back. Miyota movements are boring. At least decorate the rotor with more than just an "R" if you're gonna have a display caseback.

Solstice preorder is still active.

Preorder price has remained the same, but look like they'll be lowering the regular price to $395.
So not much of a discount comparatively.
