With the arrival of my “piece unique” and a stunning dark blue aventurine dial made by a master dial maker that Lundis Bleus uses - Daniel Haas. I’m chuffed to bits. ...  

Congratulations, Aventurine dial …

Looking very cool. Can you tell us anything more about your decision to get this particular watch as I think our community would be interested.

Sure - it all started actually back in 2016

I was looking to buy a watch that I could celebrate my first anniversary of giving up the booze. I'm not sure how I first came across them but their story of how the brand was created, and the fact that the logo is a stylised alcohol molecule, had a direc... 

Very cool, especially the connection to JD

I have always been attracted to aventurine dial, but never had the opportunity to try one out. Your wrist shot does provide details and texture of the dial. Congrats - simply amazing.

Actually the photo is wholly inadequate

I'm surprised it's not used more, IMO it is underrated.
