Definitley good looking.. and very "round"....
The 171 is not the "classic" 007 type look because it is sans the anodized/colored bezel but it's detailing is superior I think and the bezel being steel and raised slightly above the glass provides protection against scratching. I have a 173, a 007 and I definitely have come to prefer the 171. Then of course there's the 781/779..now those have a really nice case and bezel, except...the dial of the 171 still looks better
