I don’t think I’ll ever be able to get one (both price and wrist size) so I’m ok with seeing lots of photos of Sam’s watch instead
When you get yours you should definitely post some photos tho!!

15407 owners - How do you find the legibility of the watch? I'm on the list but have not seen one in person yet. Thanks!

That is unfair

Quite good actually, in pics the reflections off the hands can make them look lost against the dial but IRL I find the RG to rhodium contrast good.

Not the best but can give you an idea

My vid on post #76 if you listen you can hear the movement running as well

I’ll do some more but not until I sort a way to get the video quality to what it should be.

YouTube does compress the videos a bit, but I still think they look good. Thanks for sharing!!

Depending on who you use as a host, youtube will downsample your uploads unless you specify the quality of playback desired. They actually support up to 4K now using mp4 format and H.264 codec.

I agree! Btw was at the Paris boutique yesterday and had a great time there trying on some epic pieces I never even thought come out of the case. Anyway, they said they have been getting just two openworked pieces a year and that’s one ST and one OR. The manager was great and explained some boutiques may say they get 6+ but most likely exaggerate to get business on other pieces to make the “list” seem more attractive. Guy was pretty transparent and has managed several, gotta respect that.
