I became enchanted with Xeric watches recently. So many cool watches to choose from. I chose the Regulator as my first Xeric watch but I was somewhat worried about how I would like the genuine article. Would it live up to the professional photography of the website? I was very impressed. The finish is exquisite. The watch is a work of art that looks even better in real life. The design conveys depth that doesn't quite show up in photographs. I've been wearing my Regulator for ten days now and I love it. The concept of the separate dials is simple yet intriguingly different. It looks good and feels good on the wrist. Neither gaudy nor pretentious, just cool. It keeps time well within spec and hasn't required any supplemental manual winding. I couldn't be happier with my new watch. Thank you Xeric, and my compliments to your design team.
