Gorgeous watch for sure. Just think long and hard about the composite material.

Thanks guys for the input. I want a ceramic but the 339 is too much money and looks similar to the 504 for 10K more. I want a different case watch. Having done the steel & precious metal thing. Also I think the tobacco dial & gold hands are supreme.

I approve! Lots of calls for steel on this thread but if you already have steel watches this would be a great change of pace.

FYI - 339 is composite, too.

Ah ! Lots to learn. What would you recommend in ceramic which is 47MM and has the 12,3,6&9. with a relatively clean dial.

if it *needs* to be 47, your only option is the 508.

if you want 12/3/6 and clean dial, look at the 292 (but, 45 mm, not 47).

only 12/3/6/9 in ceramic is the 528 (probably not what you're looking for).
