Congrats! And I believe yours is the first wrist shot of this piece to hit the Internet. Now, do I hear some hesitation or a little mismatch with your expectations? If so, then don't! It's a gorgeous watch and wears magnificent on you. Again, congratulations!

No hesitation, although it's the most elegant watch I've owned so I'm slightly afraid to strap it on . I pledge to you all that this thing hits the wrist Monday am!

I love the movement finishing, moved the Lange 1815, you could only see half.
It's a very comfortable watch, and I knit pick on fit with my skinny and bony wrist. Tough to beat the VC tang design. Great to have a manual wind in the stable. only time will tell.

Like most of us, sportyrules wrist time so we will see if each gets worn enough to justify.

Gorgeous choice!

I bet it would look killer on one of those taupe Hermes straps Jed and some other fellows have over on the vintage forum!

Thanks dude

I know you bailed on the dress watch but maybe you'll reconsider with a 5227

Never say never my friend! All in due time. You play on one field for awhile, get bored and play on the other

Such an interesting piece and the black dial really brings a modern touch

I'm all too familiar with this game you describe.
