You were ahead of time with the frosted finish back in 2015. I think it looks so cool and of course, the entire movement is beautifully and perfectly finished. Those signature tear-shaped lugs
I wish I can fast forward to 2026 immediately
You're welcome :)

Indeed, regarding the frost finishing, it was the beginning of its "revival", I remember, the Greubel Forsey back then used them a lot.

There is a special feeling when looking at quite wide, rounder and very clear polishing from these edges. The different small bridges are like steps from different sizes, with inward angles and finally that huge perfectly crafted balance bridge... this is something.

The grey frosting looks nice and more modern too (it was the finish of the black one), though less shiny.

The black has a cabochon on the crown (I believe it's made from Onyx). Mine didn't get it but I think I would now.

I thought about this watch for 2 years before deciding and it is part of the journey as they say. A cool watch to wait for :)
