If this was not a PP, would you desire it in the same way? What would you be prepared to pay if it was another make?

Thanks a lot, Lars!

But nothing to enjoy. I just tried it. I didn’t buy it. So far.

Honestly so well balanced. Wears so good. I like the larger 42 mm variations but the one you tried on is a great travel watch. Love my Aquanauts. ...

New with papers and boxes. And not from my AD. My feeling is that this is far too much. Far too much.
