I have the gray dial and it actually looks better in person. The strap is so comfortable and you can tell it’ll be durable. Beautiful watch that you can dress up or down. Can’t go wrong with it, man. I like it so much that I wouldn’t be opposed to owning the green or blue dial as well. I read the previous comment on the strap… the strap does tapper so if you have a wrist bigger than 6 3/4 it might look small on you, but it’s a matter of preference . I’ve a 6.5 inch wrist and it looks great. I’ve bought several leather straps for different watches I own, and this one is my favorite by far. It is on the thicker side compared to others, which for me is a positive since it provides a snugger fit and it doesn’t feel flimsy even after you use it for a while
I went for the grey one in the end too. All three colors are really nice but I have a green watch already (albeit a Shinola I never wear) and the blue one is really good looking but I felt the grey was a little more versatile.
The final straw was when I asked my wife which she preferred and she chose the grey, so that's my confirmation :)
That said i'd take all three of I could.
The versatility is why I ended up getting the gray. It goes well with everything, including that dark brown strap. I was also on the fence about the blue or gray, but I don’t regret my decision one bit. Enjoy the watch!
You won't regret it. It's a stunning watch. Looks great on the deer leather strap that comes with it. I'm wearing mine today on my beads of rice bracelet. The leather strap tapers dramatically to 14mm, but it is very comfortable and gives it a touch of a vintage look.

Just got the green dial and love it. Ordered a black suede strap with matching green stitching to replace the leather one it comes with, but even that is high quality.
You asked: "Am I making a good move by investing in a OBCP?"
My response: Depends what you mean by "investing". If you're looking for a watch that will retain or gain value over ownership, then getting the OBCP would not be a good move at all. If instead you mean just investing in your happiness and joy of ownership, then I've seen little to no evidence that you won't be delighted with it for a long time to come.
haha thanks. My bad really, when I said investing, to be clear i'm not expecting a financial return. The return i'm after is the happiness and joy of owning this watch. Just a figure of speech.
Anyway, I just brought the gray one :)
Thanks guys for the advise. I went with the grey one.
And BTW the folks in this sub seem like a friendly and decent bunch. Those guys in the Rolex sub are a bunch of a-holes, nice to see a more positive discussion here.
Do it! Bought mine a couple of weeks ago and it has been on my wrist ever since. The blue dial is just gorgeous.
It's on you bro! I just did :)

Thanks man. Will report back
I prefer a slightly thicker leather strap. Thanks for the confirmation.

For reference... grey epsom calf leather strap. https://preview.redd.it/l27e6gkoqxbc1.jpeg?width=1568&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1147ceca919df117e03225c781f304c09b55ba7e
Nice combo

Cool. I like to look of the green one also, but just so happens I have a green dial watch already.

Do it!
I have green dial and absolutely love it. As to straps, it felt too skinny so I changed to a bit wider one. It’s the best looking watch in my opinion

You should check some YouTube videos. Tapers heavily. When I saw one on live it was more than I had expected
Yes, I saw the videos. I should have done that before I asked. I quite like the tapering in fact.
Go for it then! It’s really a beautiful watch
It tapers quite a bit, to 15mm I think, seems odd at first but you get used to it. The leather is very good quality.
I wasn't sure how thick it was until I saw the videos. Sometimes these leather straps are paper thin.
Do it. I have the gray variant and wish I could buy more of the color ways. It’s by far my favorite piece.
