Calatrava finally here!

After many months of this or that, I finally decided on the 5196G. There was always a special place in the heart for this watch.

Had to chose this over the Lange Saxonia and the Vacheron Patrimony. Not an easy decision to make, but it was simple once I let my head and heart work together.

Simple, clean and classic.

So here it is...
