I’ve had my eye on this model for some time. My AD said they only received 2 in 2018 which I found interesting. I thought these were “easier” to find. When I found out they had one I jumped at the opportunity.

I really enjoy the complications. This will have some serious wrist time.

One of the most stunning two tone references out there imo. Absolutely beautiful.

I gain more and more respect for this watch every time I wear it. The watch is equipped with calibre 9001. Its protected by seven patents, and is one of the most complex calibres ever developed by the brand. Its architecture, manufacturing quality and innovative features make it singularly precise and reliable.

If only it had an open case back it would certainly compete with the likes of Patek, Vacheron, and AP. Yes, maybe the finishes aren’t up to the standard of the trinity brands, but I’ll take the robustness of this watch in lieu of some refined finishes. I’m in awe every time I put this time piece on my wrist. I feel very fortunate that I was able to purchase the model with the romans. It gives it an unparalleled touch of class.

Some who purchased the PM models of this reference may be upset with the new SS and Rolesor offerings, but personally I am extremely happy that this incredible time piece is more accessible to the masses.

Enjoy your watch Sir. It looks amazing!

Good looking watch. I actually think the black and white dials look better in TT for some odd reason. Anyway...congrats!
