Excellent choice. I planned to get the salmon dial version with Arabic numeral version, but regrettably too late....

Enjoy yours in good health! Best, Henry

Very nice. I flirted with the idea of a Santos a few years ago, then CPCP more generally, but have drifted away since. Do please let us know your experiences. Enjoy your new buy.
