Congrats! Looks great. Interesting how hard it is to see the writing on the dial.

Congrats! What a terrific reference and dial color to start with (or end with), too. Superb.

Also tried the 43mm ROO when I was at AP House about a month ago but found it too big for my liking. I’m thinking of the 42mm Green Titanium ROO…

Does anyone know if this would be challenging to get?

It’s legible for the most part. It really depends on the lighting and angle. Here’s a better pic…

This is such a nice color! Blue is the hype, but Ruthenium is maybe the best!

I'm really coming around to these "gun metal" dials - so cool.

Attachment 1331041

For some reason on my original post the orientation was off with the picture. So here we go again…

Love this dial because it hits different depending on the lighting/angle etc. Ie. Black, dark grey and light grey.
