Congratulations!
Tantalum is a pretty cool material, very hard to with with from what I hear. Nice catch!
Wow so cool
Never saw this, is it the whole watch or just bezel or bezel and links that are tantalum?

Congratulations to you. That is a weighty Oak!
AP has used tantalum rarely over the years. Special and rare models indeed.
wow amazing 👏 congratulations for this super rare and cool piece
Tantalum is a very difficult material to work with so I assume this is why this is very rare
