I always thought I would like a CB — but these photos cast doubts on that!

This CS is a stunning watch. Very subtle most of the time.

It’s the strongest contender to the CB for me.

I understand completely.

The Chronomètre Souverain is a masterpiece.

...those numerals

 
 By: jim251 : November 28th, 2019-06:43
The numerals are not applied. I'm not sure "embossed" is the right term either. The numerals are apart of the dial itself, and allowed to extrude as the part of the dial that is not numerals is reduced. Somewhere I read the term "spark erosion at the mole... 

Super interesting! The numerals sure do look raised in your picture,

While in the picture I've posted (and on my watch), they are not raised in that way. More pictures of your awesome new watch are clearly required.

...numerals close-up

This pic is as close as I can get and shows the numerals rising out of the dial, not "applied". Somewhat hard to see with just naked eye. And although the numerals look painted remember they are mirror-polished, just not reflecting anything in the pic. ...  

Beautiful! Starting this year, FP changed the way the WG dials are being made...

 
 By: ttarin : November 28th, 2019-11:37
Yours appears to be the original "pressed" version, where the dial is stamped from behind to raise the numerals from the dial itself. It's my understanding that this year the numerals are now being applied to the dial. The way you can tell is that the whi... 

Ah, so applied numerals is the new way! [nt]

This is my favourite CS by a long shot, even though it took a while for me to realise that. It’s understated and versatile, a great combination.

Huge Congrats.
