Welcome to this contagious and somewhat fickle hobby of ours. You chose a majestic piece to commence the journey. Congrats

Thank you! I couldn't agree more. I think I can mix this in with some hoodies on cold days as well as button downs when the need arises. Glad I was able exposed by chance!

Well said and thank you! Can already feel that itch everyone spoke of lurking back there again. Now for a few months long exercise in self control!

Thank you! I was surprised by how nice the weight of the watch was too which I think is partly credited to the bracelet. I think she would enjoy!

Fwiw it doesn’t matter to me if I buy an expensive watch or not. Any new watch always gives me the same happy feeling.
Money is quickly forgotten, wearing a nice watch is a daily returning pleasure

Thank you sir, great outlook to have in this fancy hobby here. Always have to stick true to yourself and just enjoy! Cheers

Thank you! From my very limited experience thus far I don't think you would regret it!

As mentioned above, a 1k purchase has gotten me as excited as a 10k purchase in the past. There's no reason to compare, so just enjoy and wear in good health. Enjoy that honeymoon phase!

Thanks a lot! I can tell I'm going to enjoy the feedback loop I find on the forum haha. Will make sure each purchase in the future is carefully measured!

Very good point. I'm really glad I got to find this entry point that still delivered so much excitement. Here's to a long honeymoon phase!

Congratulations, an excellent choice for your first step into this wonderful hobby.
The watch looks great on you, love the dial.

Perkele · 25 October 2021, 08:19 PM

A very nice watch, congrats!

Oxfordian · 25 October 2021, 08:57 PM

Oh dear another one falls into the rabbit hole of watch collecting.

You’ve picked a great looking watch, it will last you for many many many years to come, now run, just run, get away from the AD as quick as you can, don’t look at those other sparkly watches sitting there with ‘not for sale - exhibition only’ tags on them, just run, otherwise you will be hooked for life, forever restless thinking that the next watch will be the one, the one that finally ticks every box, even the boxes that you don’t yet know about.

But it isn’t, the watches will draw you in, your finances will suffer as your collection grows as your search for utopia goes on.

Seriously, congratulations OP that’s a cracking watch, enjoy it and wear in good health.

uptheorg · 26 October 2021, 02:12 AM

Haha I can already tell you hit the nail exactly on the head. I think this forum draws together a lot of people with a little knack for overspending! But you never truly overspent if you get true enjoyment from a nice piece. Thank you for your warning, all the best!

I see I've found a man like myself, I am ALWAYS in need of more photos haha. I tried to capture the dial in here, let me know if you need any more - I can grab them outside at the end of the day

F1polesitter · 26 October 2021, 03:38 AM

I personally felt meh looking at renders of this dial when it was released. But it just goes to show that some watches don't show as well from renders.

The watch looks spectacular from your pics. Perfect proportions and a great piece all around. Congrats on the purchase and enjoy!
