Congrats, Rob!
I always enjoy it when someone posts photos of their Observatoire. It's a watch that I could look at for ages, and find something new to love about it each time. I hope to be lucky enough to have my own one day! Thanks also for sharing that great experience with Kari. Isn't it nice when the experience of having something made for you is as great as the end product itself?
Enjoy your new beauty!
Cheers,

I didn't want to contribute to that arguement...
and certainly don't want to start it up again. All I can say is that I read that thread just prior to receiving my Observatoire and was quite anxious. After receiving the watch and carefully examining it, including the use of a loupe, I am thouroughly del...
Simply awesome!!!
Many Congratulations Rob This is such a wonderful piece. I have tried asking Kari to make mine in to a 37 or 37.5mm but unfortunately, it can't be done. But he very nicely suggested that he can make my lugs curve abit more which will make the watch fits b...
That definitely rocks!
The 40mm size doesn't (to me) change the wonderful balance of the watch at all -- and it's great given the size of your wrist. I particularly like the "all white" combo you chose with the PT case, silver dial, silver numerals and markers -- a great choice...
