You're absolutely right, and you've summed up the situation perfectly.
The second hand is the only thing that bothers me (as well as the central link which is polished and not brushed, but that can be changed without too much difficulty).
But with the "tool watch" role used from time to time, I really don't think it will bother me.
The trio of Tag Heuer CBS2210 / CAW211B and this Solargraph may be just right for me.
