WOW. I've never been a huge fan of gold watches in general, but seeing that one changes my mind. If I was going to get a gold watch, that would be the one. Beautiful!!!

Man this is a dream watch for me, ever since I saw the photo on Attila's site I fell deep in love, im sure you remember. Of course you got the best example ever and meters first! I have the strap already, now if I can only afford the watch...

Congrats Ken your gonna love the strap its nothing short of the best as your already familiar with Attila's quality.

Yeah his turn around time is impressive considering its done from scratch and by hand. Awesome fella to work with.

The watch I will be getting will be just like yours minus the 18k, minus the nipples and minus the meters first

Ken that is a stunning example. Fat lugs, chamfers, even crown guards, and a rare dial. Nice score.

The contrast between the black Bund and the black of the watch against the gold strikes the right balance, I always thought all gold watches a bit OTT, but that...

Cheers Jules
