Beautiful! Do you have to wait long or is it just the SS that has a supply problem?

you may like the watch or not but the quality of the finishing is rather amazing. i am not totally convinced yet by the color of the rose gold since it is rather on the pinkish side. other than that the legibility of the date is rather bad but the hour and minute hands are very well done. rather legible also at night....

I would not wear any bracelet next to it,
Even a leather one. Anyways congrats love this watch, and yes the date is not super legible, even when you have it for a very long time like me, still hard to make out sometimes

Congrats! I picked up my a year and a half ago. It's a great piece. The bezel will scratch just my looking at though!
