I had an older white dialed version of this watch that I ended up selling off when I found my Sinn 105 that I have also reviewed on this site. I've been a fan of Farer designs for a while but this just didn't do it for me. 

Positive Points 

There is a reason that Farer are so well liked, and this watch is a good example of why that is. The dial is truly beautiful with the white, blue and orange colours working really well together. The case is very well proportioned and actually feels even smaller than the 39.5mm diameter might lead you to believe and feels really comfortable on, the steel bracelet also sits very comfortably on, with a decent taper and a nice butterfly clasp.
The case also looks fantastic with it’s great proportions, boxed sapphire crystal and standard bronze crown all the elements come together with the beautiful dial to make a truly stunning watch. Also this is not a dive watch but the lume isn’t too bad either.

Negative Issues 

While I enjoy how slim the watch is it does make the watch feel a little fragile. There is something to be said about watches having a little heft and therefore feeling more robust. Of course there are plenty of people who enjoy a watch you can barely feel but there are others who might find the feeling of fragility a little off putting. Another issue that may be linked to the case size is how audible the rotor is. I found that I could hear the rotor whenever I moved my left arm, now I did buy this watch second hand, but I don’t think that was an issue as I bought it through a regular second hand dealer who checks and services the watches he sells.
My main issue was the crown, which looks great and is a good size from a looks perspective, but I found it really hard to operate. Winding the watch was almost painfull because of how tough it was to manipulate and it didn’t click into place, making setting the date, gmt or time a hastle.

Conclusion

As with all Farer watches, this is a gorgeous piece, and if you’re in the market for a slim, light mechanical gmt this is definitely one I’d recommend though as Farer seem to have discontinued this model you’ll have to get it second hand. My only real issue with this watch is the crown, but for me it is such a large issue that this wasn’t a keeper. I change out my watches daily and as I have over 20 watches by the time I get back to this I need to wind and re-set the date and time and the hastle that was caused by this watch’s crown annoyed me so I stopped wearing it. If that’s not a problem for you though I do think that this is a very attractive watch.
