For all those still waiting for your pieces, I just want to say you will be VERY pleasantly surprised.

I will not ruin the surprise for you but let's say the package and the additional accompanying material was a delight to see 😉😜

The watch wears brilliantly and the dial is stunning. The winding has just the right amount of friction / pressure that I like without being too stiff. This will of course loosen a bit with time but I like the feedback at the moment.

The case size is PERFECT and it wears uber comfortably.

Nothing more to say really. Just enjoy and give this beauty some deserved wrist time. Obviously I change immediately to a blue jean strap from ABP to give it that extra personal touch 😁

Bravo to Mike and Nico. You guys along with Hentschel made a fine timepiece 👏👏

Glad to see #3 with you and that you are enjoying it as well

I am sure that regardless of larger collections it will find its way to our wrists on a regular basis thanks to being so "modest". I at least have worn it more or less the whole last week.

Definitely agree my friend. For me, this represents much more than just another piece. It is one that connects us all together as a passionate brotherhood...

and celebrates this wonderful forum. Much more sentimental meaning in this pieces than just another addition IMHO. And I really like the fact the 99% of the masses and/or even fellow collectors will not know what this is which gives it a even more of a stealth factor 😉
