There was a salmon dial available a while back (prob someone backed out) but for me, the pref is the turquoise or blue dial.
I imagine the price includes a hefty premium as opposed to the original price. I wonder if the brothers will ever open up to new orders.
NO hefty premium at all.
On the wrist its a true beauty imho . Yes the books are still closed but i hope to find my wife a turquoise dial at some point 🙏🏻. So i can steal it from her as much as possible 😜.
Looks really good on the brown buffalo strap. I opted for the blue buffalo, but may pick up the brown now that I’ve seen how good it looks!
The remontoire is still commanding a pretty penny
