Incoming!
Had my eye on this for a while and very nice pre loved popped up at Toppers. Quick phone call and here it is!

Such an incredibly unique dial. Have a few Delugs straps on the way. My first GO and very impressed thus far.

Wow, that’s a great GO, congratulations.
It looks like that’s your first non-Rolex piece as well, so you must’ve been really impressed by it.

I love the glacier or ice blue and I think GO executed the dial so well!

I’ve gone through a lot of other brands Omega, Breitling, Tudor, Dornbluth, Zenith, Ball, Cartier and others. I’ve ended up just gravitating toward Rolex but certainly love and appreciate others.

Congrats. As you know by now, the dial constantly changes color depending on the lighting and looks so much better in person.

Especially like the look of the one on the left there. Which color is that and is that one of their curved end ones or regular?
