Incoming...not an AP

Picked this one up yesterday and love it already. It’s difficult to photograph the dial correctly due to how much it changes.

Congrats. Have considering getting rid of my 26331 for one of these (love the blue but I'm not sure what colour I would go) on multiple occasions. Probably the best value HH watch around at the moment I think.

Very cool - the quick change strap is a great addition

Absolutely beautiful. How does that dial look under a loupe? Do you see any hairlines?

That blue dial is something else. It's my first VC and I am thoroughly impressed by the quality.

Congrats on a beautiful piece!

They took my deposit also but said couldn’t guarantee a delivery date and it was “fully” allocated for this year and wait would be “well into” next year. What AD did you speak with?
