The one that got away… Best G
on your wrist as you know. Yours is beautiful. Enjoy!
The only thing im tired of is that i missed this boat. This offers some unique pints it the “sports” watch category. The extremely light weight and the unusual chronograph construction. As we have discussed, Covid accelerated the taste for the more informal designs. Mine included.
Quite amazing when the foudroyante is engaged. No… I don’t think I will ever get sick of looking at yours!
The more I feel it will become a design classic.
So while not my favourite I can say I gave it my full commitment.
