I have worn all kinds of watches around NYC over the years. Gen big pilot, gen panerai. almost every super rep I felt attracted to. I wear a gen 3717 almost daily now.
I bought the 089 ti without really wanting that bad. Was not sure of the dial or cyclops. (on rep or gen)
I got more compliments on this watch in the last 2-3 days than most all other watches combined over the years. Hilarious.
The watch is a winner and the strap is also IMHO.
