Incoming! I’m in love with this dial

Been thinking about a Santos for a while. Pictures do not do this dial justice. It’s almost chameleon like.

So comfortable on the wrist. The quick change tool less adjustable bracelet is a game changer.

I look forward to hearing more from you as the days roll by. That dial truly is special! I’ll be curious to hear your thoughts on how it wears

Congratulations, great !

Here’s a couple of quick ones tonight under different artificial light.

The dial changes from almost black/purple to the emerald green in my original pic

That's a beautifully rich green. Congrats, I'm looking forward to seeing that dial in person at an AD soon.

That green reminds me of the Golden Age for Art Deco. Beautiful piece.

There is no accounting for taste. I can appreciate the beauty of that watch, but I don’t like green watches. White, black, blue ok no green for me. As George Costanza said, “It’s not you, it’s me”

Two months ago I was trying both blue and green dial but I didn’t pull the trigger. Right now I’m regret my decision.

I’d imagine that under certain lighting conditions (as you’ve captured), this watch face will be mesmerizing. WOW!

I always wanted more of the green in your 1st pic. It didn’t provide enough of that I didn’t think. Watch is such a great overall package , enjoy

Santos in almost all its iterations is one of the best and most underrated watches

I I tried it tonight, but the photo made the dial look grey. Hands down a stunner though.

Looks great! I really like the Santos and agree it is comfortable to wear, well al least to try on since I don’t own one . . . yet.
