Congrats, stunning piece. I always feel bad going to an AD for sizing after I bought Gray.

Yeah I don’t....I know they don’t feel bad when they skip over this person and that person on their waiting lists.

Now that you’ve got your Grail you gotta invest in a couple tools. These 2 stay right with whatever rotation I have in the house. Best money spent. Small small ratio of money spent in comparison to the actual money spent on the collection.

Are those for switching out the links? Can you send me a link to where I can get these?

First, that watch is stunning! Congrats!

Second, I totally get you on the bracelet. I just bought a 114270 (not the same league as your PM, but it's expensive for me!) and I'm not about to experiment on removing links myself!

Stunning watch and looks great on your wrist!

Have also worked with Tony in the past. We did a similar trade

Great guy - i’d rather deal with Tony any day over some arrogant snooty AD

Awesome watch. This may sound silly, but I absolutely fell in love with the full rose gold CHNR after seeing Alpha M wear it on his youtube vids. It's a stunning piece. Now I'm trying to plan how I can get one too. Well done!

Congrats! Impressively beautiful piece.

Regarding sizing, I’m all for DIY and invested in the proper tools myself, but if you’ve never done it before...don’t let this stunner be the guinea pig. Patience will pay off!
