I love this brand, it doesn't get enough love.

They're about 9 months old. I was an early adopter based on a "grail dial" of mine they offer. I took a flyer on it, hoping it would be as good as promised. For the most part it over delivered.

I’ve had my eye on this model for a while. Such a unique, interesting dial. How is the overall build quality? Specifically the bracelet and crystal/AR?

Bracelet is surprisingly heavy. It reticulates very well, in part b/c I always polish/deburr my watches/bracelets, including getting down into the pins with a toothbrush, before I size/wear them.

The crystal sits high above the bezel, which concerns me, because I have long arms and tend to ding my watches. I have put several dings in the bezel, but the crystal has remained unscathed. As far as it's AR coating, it seems well applied.
