The mother of pearl dial looks very interesting with the printing directly on it. Just imagine how many are rejected in the manufacturing process . Thank you Christian.

i plan to be there this weekend, thinking of getting a strap on CS to tone it down...something tan/brownish... I'm intrigued by the Chronometre Optimum...killer ! Best, mahesh.,
