(Irish) Green dial with green strap. A very eye-catching piece but too green for my taste. Perhaps I am just too conservative?

Key Points from the Discussion
- One of the 25 pieces was acquired by Irish boxing champion and watch collector Conor McGregor, highlighting the exclusivity and high-profile ownership of such limited editions.

- The green dial's appearance can vary significantly depending on lighting and photography, with some images showing a more sober and beautiful shade than others.
- Some collectors expressed a preference for a darker, more matte shade of green, emphasizing the importance of seeing such a distinctive color in person.
- The vibrant green color was polarizing, with some finding it too bold or 'too green,' while others appreciated its unique character and connection to Irish heritage.
- There was a sentiment that such a limited edition should have prioritized Irish residency or passport holders for allocation.
