I got an Axis II Bronze E-BL, the watch is absolutely gorgeous! could not fault it, patinas very quickly. already had patina the first morning after unpacking it the night before. Pier's had excellent customer service with very quick and friendly email replies. Pier's was also very happy to switch my polished steel crown out for an bronze one and let me choose the strap, buckle and stitching for no extra cost. My only complaint would be that the watch took a long time to get to me. I was originally told it would take 14 days until the watch would be ready to ship but ended up being about 4 weeks before my watch was shipped. also was held up in customs for another 2-3 weeks. All and all extremely happy with the finished result
