Congrats! I love the Starwheel, looks incredible! I think this is the best Code by a mile.

What is your AP purchase history from the boutique? I'm guessing I'll never get allocated one but not sure where this ranks in the hard to get list.

Thank you!

I am not sure either. I couldn’t believe it is one of the hardest watches to get, because I do not consider myself as the most important customer.

But keep hearing from a lot of people I know it is almost unobtainable. Maybe I was lucky.

The people at the house and especially my SA know I will never flip and am a WIS for real. Could be that helped getting one allocated.

They actually fit really well on you, makes me wonder if I should go for one...

Wel, that’s the wrist of mrs Palex, don’t know what size it is. The watches are 34mm. If your wrist is 16,5 max, you can wear that. Maybe 17. Bigger wrist would be too big, imho

Congrats!
Amazing Code. I'd imagine you will have hard time choosing between the Starwheel and QP RO.

A few weeks with the Starwheel, I can say it really is a joy to wear! Also a real conversation piece!

imo the star wheel is the best code. followed closely by the blue dial perpetual code.
the star wheel really transforms the code into a beast of a watch. congrats.

Thanks for the updates and absolutely beautiful watch!

How does it wear vs. the RO 41mm? I know they're both listed at 41mm but curious how it actually wears. I'm considering trading some pieces, including a 15500ST, for the Starwheel. I love the strap and feel like I could daily wear.

Hi,

It wears different. I think a little bit smaller. But not only that, of course it’s a totally different watch. The strap is supercomfy, even in warm conditions. It is a bit more under the radar, as a RO gets recognized by a lot of people.
I do get nice reactions about the starwheel tho, when people notice the dial.
