Awesome !, how did you manage to get one?, love the 49150's blue dial and how subtle the text was added as it does not diatract at all ! 👏👏

I bought it in 2020 during my trip to Singapore

I had that watch from my AD In Philly . I loved that watch . The blue color, double window date. It was perfect in every way. The chrono broke after the warranty was up , and they wanted a lot to fix, so I traded it in , I miss it . Gorgeous piece.
