my 5980AR is back from vacation...

...in geneva after a very early (first day) reset issue. now it is fixed (hopefully properly) and i really like it. amazing blue dial works so well with the steel-RG combo. this is how bi-tone should be done:::))) the non-believers should really try this watch before judging.

Interesting to see how much they would ask for it. They still have not moved the two 5711 blue dials, 5990 and the 5980A
