Incoming.. Gotta love blue dials.

Been eyeing this for awhile and was offered the opportunity by my AD to get this piece for a very decent discount.

The blue dial's depth is crazy. And it's the only watch in my collection that has a complication other than a day/date. Heard that VC is making all Overseas blue dials boutique only soon but not sure if its true. Anyone heard the rumours too?

Now i just need a patek to complete the trinity but that's gonna be a long road ahead.

Thanks for the enabling in my previous thread.

Congratulations on the purchase! Great looking watch.

How do you like it on the rubber and leather straps, and how easy is it to switch the extra clasp between those 2?

Its really easy to change and there are a few video tutorials on youtube that shows you how to do it.

Ive been wearing it more on bracelet and its alot more confortable than my 15500. Haven't used the rubber or leather much yet but I'm sure I'll get around to it soon.

Congratulations!! Great choice - wear with pleasure!

Be careful putting it on the rubber strap - you will not want to use the bracelet or leather strap again after that )
