It is certainly a good effort and it looks pretty sweet , but i think its one of the issues with the 176/177's they simply don't work as well as the tobacco dialed varieties of PAM Ti jobbies. I've had a few older versions of the 177 and they are just literally so dull .
At least you've put yours on a nice bright strap to lift it a bit , when they are on black rubber they are just coma inducingly bland, they are sort of accountancy grey . Don'y get me wrong its a quality timepiece , but I can be dull enough on my own and really dont need any assistance from my watch.
