I was on and off. I think you are right the right color/texture is what makes or breaks it. What I love, is the relatively large area that really plays with the light.
As a watch, it is super easy to wear, with the long PR and date. An other hesitation I had, was the Automatic movement. It is just not that interesting to look at, as some of the manual movements. That is something I have decided to live with. However, I feel the dial makes up for it.

Designed to work with a shirt cuff, then you donโt notice the left hand side of the dial. Great design. Enjoy your holiday Christian !

I personally love the Octa very much. Very wearable and look so much more interesting than Lange 1 or the CS.
