Which one is this…DB28 steel wheels? Did you just get it? I love it!🤩
It's older cousin says hello
almost a year. This is one of 10. It’s the Steel Wheels Sapphire Tourbillon. Fun to look at the intricacy but often hard for me to read the time. Guess that’s what my cell phone is for!
By chance did you get this one through WatchBox? I ask because I’ve been speaking with them recently about DB releases/allocations and have been honestly impressed by their transparency and efforts at fair allocation to existing and new clients.
Such an incredible piece !
Knowing what time it is, is not always the most important thing in life.
