Title says it all. I’m seriously considering getting a 556 with the black mother of pearl dial as my normal wear watch (even I concede it will never be my ONLY watch, but maybe my USUAL watch).

From what I can see, it seems like a gada watch. You could dress it up for suit service, but you could equally take it swimming at the beach. It’s well built and gorgeous and not too expensive. Or so I think.

Tell me it’s not fancy enough to dress up with a suit. Tell me it’s poorly built or has QC issues. Tell me the dial is ugly. PLEASE, help me avoid this. I guess you could say get the regular black 556 instead but that doesn’t help much.

    I’m not 100% sure if it would apply, depending on if any adjustments were made to the movement.

    But you typically shouldn’t change the date when the time is between 9:00pm and 3:00am. If there is a ghost position and you aren’t aware of it, you could accidentally move to that position and start changing the date in the movement without realising it.

    It’s not super likely, but if you set the time 100 times, it could easily happen once or twice.
