Looks great with the Everest band.

Do you have any pics of the watch before you got ABC to matte the bezel. ie the watch just fully brushed with the stick gloss bezel insert.

Hard to picture as in most it comes out very gloss (dial) Vs matte (bezel)

But in most situations it looks like this

Yep... The matted dial makes all the difference. Did you ever consider getting the rehaut / chapter ring brushed ?

With my eyes the rehaut doesn't look polished it more a semi brushed finish so was happy to leave as is!

Also St James (RSC) said they will service the watch as long as nothing internal has been modified (which I took as to include refinishing)

Thank you and congrats on a great product (assuming from your UN and avatar you are part of Everest)

Really nice ! I love the brushed and matted look over the shiny.
I haven't seen any pics with the bracelet.
Does it not work with the bracelet anymore ? Or would the bracelet have to be brushed out to match ??

Thanks,
floyd

But I love that and think it looks great!

Nice play!

I think it looks great. Did they blast the crown as well? Looks flat which makes it look good for some reason. Definitely the first I've seen. Congrats!

Funnily enough the Pelagos was the base of the look I was after
