Should i open it 5960/1a?

Long time collector but always on the sidelines.
Decided to take the next step and join the community.
Have always enjoyed the great conversations on the forum.
After many watches from lange, rolex, ap, patek, fp journe, i have to say that this watch has the it factor. I think it becomes the 5711 of the future. If a decide to open it, i will post the obligatory wrist-shot. Decisions, decisions???

Nope. Center lugs are integrated into case. You are stuck with bracelet.

I cannot even imagine buying a new watch and not opening it.

Or...just buy a second one and wear that one...keep this one in the safe...

It would look silly on your wrist in the bag . Of course you should open it. Savour the moment, but get it open!!!

Don't understand the question really. Are you saying you are unsure you want it? Or are you speculating?

I'm happy to take it off your hands, then you no longer have this dilemma!

Break it open and enjoy!
