Insane finish on this Japanese watch!

I mean just look at the hands, the case back, the way the lugs are shaped and the sub dial numbers amount other things…incredible work!

That is beautiful casework.

In reviews, the movement came into question as being only “adequate” for a $20K watch.

Both it and that dial is Swiss made actually.

The rest of the watch is Japanese, including the case and hands.

I think it shows the craftwork that Patek once showed in its iconic Calatrava.

I would expect it to look ok for 20k?

If anyone watched the Ed Sheeran interview that was posted here last week, he actually mentions this watch and that he recently picked one up. The finish is amazing!

Would love to get the opportunity to play with it first hand! I mean, just the AR coating seems to be outta this world. Is there even a crystal on the watch? : )

Simply a typically well done polish.

And why do people have to put loud obnoxious music in their videos. Thank gawd for the speaker adjust feature.
