Incoming grail for me - 5070!!

Hi all,

It's been a while since I've posted due to work and family, but that doesn't mean my passion for watches have dwindled. It's been a long time searching for the one but I've finally manage to acquire a grail of mine, the 5070G. It's absolutely perfect and I can't be happier.

Thought I'd share a few pics.





I have not fully appreciated the beauty of the Lemania movement till having a chance to really take a look at it up close.


I love the oxidized WG hands creating the contrast with the white dial

Amazing, huge congrats, I dream of having an auto movement so beautiful, had a few before and have one planned (not PP), but none of them totally open like these, I find them so beautiful, there are many points I love about watches, the beauty of the movement is one of the top ones, and these Lemania based and other PP manual ones are just amazingly stunning, the watch looks great on your wrist
